I think lemurs like the op said is better. However, I also think the ship has probably already sailed and lemmings is what it is.

So, sortition? I'm not opposed to giving that a larger role in policy making. It would give voice to a wider range of life experiences than the lawyers and business owners who tend to dominate elected positions.

Molon labe, commonly translated as, "come and take them." Referencing the (likely apocryphal) story of King Leonidas saying this to Xerxes when he demanded they give up their arms. The Persian army then rolling over the Spartans easily. Gun nuts find this story inspiring for some reason.

Tabasco or some other hot sauce in the pizza sauce would be a lot more ideal, but on top is acceptable if that's what's available.

Do you think this person was referring to actual Hamas members when they said "HAMAS BABIES?"

If the idea is to help Harris win maybe they should keep this endorsement on the DL.

That's Jordan Peterson. Cruz was a dual citizen until he renounced his Canadian citizenship so it's a shared shame, Peterson is strictly on us.

His mother was American and his father was, I believe, Cuban. Neither had Canadian citizenship. They happened to hatch him in the territory of Canada while his mom was working in Alberta, so he technically was Canadian until this all came out in 2014 or 2015 when he was running in the Republican primary and he renounced his citizenship. Unfortunately for you, he was a dual citizen thanks to his mother so you can't deport him back to us. Feel free to deport him into the Gulf of Mexico if you want, though.
