Usually when it's brought up, it's people suggesting he's assassinated 6 months before the end of term. But as you know his first term in office came and went without incident. It's all a bit pointless really, since Revelation isn't talking about him (the 3 1/2 years is actually half of a 7 year period in Revelation which doesn't fit American politics at all). Not to mention there have been many grandiose and self centred leaders through history.. it's tempting to see parallels though. I guess that's why Revelation had remained a curiosity through thousands of years.
Indeed. Which makes it an even bigger problem that there are hardly enough moderate politicians saying "here's what we hear you saying about migration and he's what we will actually do to rectify that"
I didn't mention the censorship because he is wrong about that
I also don't agree with his quote about "no need for barriers". I wasn't aware he had said that.
He is referring to the poor handling of migration in Europe, which is true. And the general ignoring of popular outrage at how migration is managed.
That he is a fascist dickhead is indicative of the problem. Many many people who are not racist think migration is handled terribly in Europe and the problem is moderate politicians are hopelessly slow to engage with this and as a result the only people talking about it are fascist nutbags...
It's a bit like why drilling into a wall might make the lights go out if you hit a cable. Your brain only registers "feeling" in any part of your body because a nerve carried that information to it. The nerves from your lower arm and hand pass your elbow. Hitting the nerve directly causes signals in it which you brain interprets as pain in your fingers. Presumably the nerves for the pinky side of your hand are slightly more exposed.
"Internet Cafe" mid 90s. Clicked down through yahoo's directory not really knowing what I was looking for. Found the canonical list of lightbulb jokes. Funny but overall I was quite underwhelmed. Got a print magazine that listed and reviewed websites.
Simply put, because you often want to change the state of something without breaking all the references to it.
Wild off the top of my head example: you're simulating a football game. Everything is represented by objects which hold references to other objects that are relevant. The ball object is held by player object W, player object X is in collision with and holds a reference to player object Y, player Z is forming a plan to pass to player object X (and that plan object holds a reference to player object X) and so on.
You want to be able to change the state of the ball object (its position say) without creating a new object, because that would invalidate how every other existing object relates to the ball.

Isn't a presidential term 48 months?
You are not making much sense

The problem with democracy is sometimes the majority legally vote for the checks and balances to be weakened..
Pray, I guess?
I think Vance is a tool, but can someone explain how these two points aren't objectively true?
Oh it won't end
We're not just post-truth, we're post-information if it doesn't even matter if a particular thing is made up or not..
"retention bots" of some description wouldn't surprise me in the slightest..
i've been here for months and months, i might have seen this mentioned as an aside once or twice. but "endless wars"?

It would be ok.
