@AuronMacintyre The key is that he beat the judiciary. Without vanquishing them first, his ascent would have been impossible.

@jchasedavis Nicaragua, Honduras, and Cuba better be getting their acts together...

@DadaAlpaca This includes Doyle, who needs to find a wife.

@james_d_baird @DavidSchrock A paper I wrote about one of the first Hawaiian Christians back in grad school, and his impact on American Christianity. https://t.co/DBTyUrAY7M

@Fukko123 @RealAlbanianPat I've lived in Korea and taught the history of East Asia as a university lecturer... But I did spit ball a generalized comment, reducing a complex history down to something more digestible.

[Ian Smith @mithSIM]

@growing_daniel @cremieuxrecueil I should probably check and see if my two-year-old half-Japanese daughter is just a hallucination.

[Ian Smith @mithSIM]

@bomaxnomax @RealAlbanianPat Like it was for most of its history.
