I've seen enough people trying to claim Trump wants a war, and/or this is a false flag by Saudi Arabia or Israel, both of whom see Iran as an existential threat. I'll pin this, I could be wrong, but Iran has got away with stuff like this for 40 years and it won't end now.
In which CNN twists into knots to avoid reporting that Iran attacked ships in international waterways. A story about political sociology & the decline of journalism, told in sequence across 3 panels.
“If Erdogan takes the path that I green lighted when I didn’t consider the consequences because I winged my call with him and didn’t read my briefing notes, I will sanction him & his officials & destroy his economy while I warmly welcome him & his officials at the WH next month.”
I get the basic point, but the US ambassador and a number of others weren't killed in #Benghazi while the Obama team did nothing?
There was a Gulf of Tonkin incident.
Not an excuse for @ABC intentionally lying...
Cardinal Sarah really isn't the "diehard Conservative" that liberals consider him to be. Reading his latest book, his sole focus is on Jesus Christ, and serving him - not the scheming, ideology-driven politics and underhandedness of Francis. If allowed, he could unite the Church.
@CatholicLisa I'd just have to learn a new liturgy, and I figure anything bad from this papacy would be slower to reach the Churches in communion with Rome. We're not terribly far from a church that houses two different Byzantine parishes.
@rightscholar@mary_pezzulo I'd argue Colon bears no responsibility other than for the Caribes he personally dealt with. I also argue a small number of Spanish could bring down the Aztecs because the Aztecs were not popular with their Indigenous neighbors.
Not defending working people to death in the mines
@annepaezNOLA I'm not sure, even if the Pope is a neo-Arian, he'd admit it, even if he could deny it plausibly. He may be floating trial balloons, or he may be using the confusion the interviews cause as a sleight of hand. Between #Scalfari and #SinodoAmazonia, it is confusing. @SteveSkojec
The dream of the globalized elite is to establish a new world religion- a religion without God, without doctrine, without moral teaching. In reality, this religion will end up being in the service of financial interests alone. - Cardinal Sarah
@PeculiarBaptist @RantsOutloud Pre-Christian Nordic and Celtic people had their 'bog bodies' that were well preserved in the peat bogs, that modern science suggests were human sacrifices. I don't know why only the Indigenous Americans can enjoy human sacrifice.
@ConservativeLA It depends on how the judge rules on lesser included offenses, having seen the body cam video. I think the pre-med student thought he was a prowler and armed herself, and he didn't identify himself as PD and didn't give much time to drop the weapon before shooting.
@albertodelacruz @RedStateBlonde I subbed a class in Klein ISD once and stopped to ask a girl when 'a' was used with conocer because she was reading a book. She knew the answer, I asked how, she already spoke Spanish and was in for an easy 'A'. That was in the suburbs.
@albertodelacruz @RedStateBlonde Spanish classrooms in my building, none feature vosotros on wall.
Native speakers can take AP Spanish in 8th grade and enter high school with college credit. I know the students in Spanish I for Native Speakers complain bitterly, expecting an easy class and not getting one.
@albertodelacruz @RedStateBlonde Not Pedro, but I remember movie with four movies within, all about revenge, set in Argentina. I thought it was Spanish at first, Buenos Aires looks a bit European. https://t.co/roE3qimZHR
@RedStateBlonde @albertodelacruz Weird experience, 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', I started 'hearing' the subtitles, no drugs involved, I just became unaware I was watching a foreign language movie.
Hard to explain...
@RedStateBlonde @albertodelacruz I don't speak fluent Spanish at all, but I watched a bizarre yet funny Pedro Almodóvar sex farce (including stereotypical gay flight attendants) where someone actually used vosotros, which is a word nobody this side of the Atlantic uses. https://t.co/aEOE7f08Rc
@albertodelacruz I mentioned the @houstonpolice lying to get a no-knock search warrant and killing a white couple in their bed, the husband had grabbed his gun when his door was kicked in. It was not news outside #Houston, if the victims were Black I suspect it'd have been national news.
I accept almost everything she says. I suspect she believes in critical race theory, all whites are racist, and the cop was racist just because the women he killed wasn't white. I have agreed to every point, but I won't cede this one.
@albertodelacruz I replied to her with several examples of police brutality with white victims, some from the news, one, the gang beating of a teen turnstile jumper that I witnessed. The retweet I commented on shows where she is at, and I reject that.
