@Celan_G @PeterMeijer Our own interests, what a ridiculous side-step and post-justification for your idiotic President's mess.

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@Celan_G @PeterMeijer So yes, slaughter of civilians is absolutely fine as long as you get to choose who is right and who isn't. That is exactly the US you advocate and the reason why Europe has no interest.

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@Celan_G @PeterMeijer 40k bodies in the streets...When are you invading Israel to stop the slaughter in Palestine? Oh wait, those bodies are ok right.

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@Celan_G @PeterMeijer There is a reason why every single US President has avoided a direct confrontation with Iran, everyone except for the dumbest one ever. It's a war you can't win and nobody is going to drag Europe into you're stupidity and hubris.

@IrishmanIRL At 144k (stock undefined) a year he pays about 50% of that in tax... T

hat means he contributes about 72k a year to all the moaning begrudging dolers....

If he makes $1 million he has payed 500k roughly thereabouts in tax. The net benefit is more money for Ireland DUh....

@shannonrwatts Read any History book based on knowledge from 400 years ago and you're not getting the inner thoughts of any notable person. You're getting fragmented aural testimonies, half remembered contradictory 'facts' and scraps of History assembled into an average narrative.

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@shannonrwatts 400 years ago books were rare and the average person was illiterate.

Knowledge was compiled by 2nd or 3rd hand sources who focused on over arching themes of History and notable people. The fact that this is not noted in sources does not mean those people were not introspective.

@tmuxvim Engagement bait. Some of the earlier models did this, they removed it and now it's back.

@daniel_dsj2110 English borrows many French words from Norman aristocracy 1066 who ruled as far as the Plantagenet dynasty, but the average person spoke English. A French layer was added with certain words, pronunciations & phrasing, but It's not a Romance language, and not derivative of French.

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@daniel_dsj2110 English is first a Germanic language. The Anglo-Saxons invaded/migrated after the Romans left around 410AD. The Germanic fused with the Celtic Britons and Latin from Rome. The French influence comes much later in 1066 with the Norman invasion...But French is derivative of Latin..

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@bmay So the English should spend less time attacking the people born into a role not by choice but by birth but asking themselves what they really want. Magna Carta was the beginning of the end a few hundred years ago yet they are still here. That is a choice not a dictat...

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@bmay The Monarchy in 2026 are a choice.
I don't blame William or his wife for being born into a system. They probably know more than you that it's a charade, but it is entwined with Historical significance that is part of the identity of the nation. Ultimately the public can decide.

@byzantineprof When the papacy was threatened by the Lombards and insufficiently protected by Byzantium it turned to the Franks and that was a crucial part of the transition from the Roman to Medieval world. So here we are today in Europe.

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@byzantineprof For me it's the difference in interpretation of Christianity. In the West the bishop of Rome’s authority grew within a Latin Christian world that increasingly lacked a strong western emperor. So the bishop became crucial in an administrative role.

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@TrisBurnedLands @GunterFehlinger That's the most idiotic thing I've read all week.

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@WeirdMedieval Can you imagine trying to learn to read when there is no separation between words.

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@MadelaineLucyH Bad parenting is responsible for a lot of the world's problems.

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@anneapplebaum Jared and Steve, the gift that keeps on giving...

[Jimbo @Jiminfinitus]

@RnaudBertrand Second order effects are rarely considered by incompetent amateurs.

There's probably a reason why several previous Presidents avoided stirring up a hornet's nest in Iran.
