No.

I don't remember him calling me an idiot. But I probably haven't been trying that hard.

This is not likely to be in an art history book, unless maybe it's only US art history. It would be in a general US history book, particularly one made for high school (or possibly younger).

I may remember this one better than many of you because I never studied any art so it stop stands out as one of very few paintings I know.

If your class in HS discussed a lady who represented Manifest Destiny, there is virtually no chance this isn't the one.


The Thailand-Cambodia flare up is an example of the kind of stuff we should be expecting more and more of with the waning of Pax Americana. If you dig into why the fighting is going on, there really is no good reason. Just a lot of wagging the dog to distract from domestic problems and out of control honor culture and jingoism.

20 years ago a Western country like the US or France would have gotten involved and nipped things in the bud. But now that the West has retreated from this part of the world, there is no one to fulfill that task.

China of course has close economic relations with both countries. But consistent with how China does business, they aren't particularly interested in getting involved.

If nothing else, this will give Sweden (and the rest of the world) an opportunity to assess the capabilities of Thailand's Gripens, as this is the first time they have been used in actual combat.


It's over a border dispute that's been on and off disputing for a century. Nothing to do with Pax Americana


It is if you’re looking for an excuse to retrieve your flag from every sensible persons arse and wave it around a bit.


Hawley submitted a bill to issue citizens a 600$ tariff rebate and sycophants are notably not calling him a communist. Seems odd

It's only communistic if I'm not eligible for the rebate.


Wait a second! I thought other countries paid the tariffs.


Trump has been making all these amazing deals that make Americans pay taxes on things they buy but people in other countries pay nothing.

AMERICA FIRST!

ART OF THE DEAL!

"White people are native americans" is obnoxious.

And yet you don't think this about Israelis.

News flash, Jews have lived in Israel for far longer than arabs.

Also, there are Israeli Arabs so not really a good comparison.

Who the hell do you think you are just making up stuff that I do or do not think?

That's part of Vic's schtick. It's what he does.

I'm mentioning it because he did it to me just earlier today calling me an 'apologist for Israel.'

Yes, he does do it all the time and it gets really irritating.

you quote the ADL and think its credible. I know exactly who you are. a standard White Supremacist.

kinda rich coming from the guy who digs through my posts to find the slightest thing he can call antisemitic.

that said, I will give you credit for being less racist than gorg.

Do you really believe that actual white supremacists consider Jews to be white?

You don't know a gd thing about me. Or anything else. You're as ******* clueless as Brian James.

I can't even fathom the level of stupidity it would take to conclude that I, of ALL people, am a white supremacist. It's honestly impressive to be so dumb that you are in Brian James territory.

You do this every single time you open your stupid ******* mouth. Remember when you were going to bet your... Why do you continue to embarrass yourself to this level? You are either intentionally lying about people or are literally as dumb as Brian James. I don't care which.

In other news here is another perfectly safe part of town you can wonder around in and there is nothing to be a afraid of.

This woke police chief did everything she could to minimize what happened. Apparently it was important to point out all the other non criminal events that happened that night. Also, she refused to initially name the suspects. Also, The comments were turned off for her video. Also, this wasn't a fight or a brawl it was a brutal mob attack. Notice that only one person called 911. Notice all the cheering on and non helpful individuals. She also seemed proud that it only took 6 minutes to arrive on the scene. This is not how a civilized nation should act. The first video is the fight. The second you can see the Police chief press conference.

It is quite possible the victims put themselves into a bad situation and possibly provoked the attack. However, this doesn't excuse how things went after the violence began.

the funny part is that I did make a bad assumption about you in thinking you were actually a typically well meaning woke lib. then you decided to go all racist Supremacist and quote the ADL to support mass murder. I wont make that mistake again. I know who you are, even if you yourself dont.
