Do you think that the Chinese even bothered with the high tech spy gadgets? You could learn basically anything from him if you booked a dinner at his stupid golf club and told him his hands were bigly. Maybe throw in a badly shopped nude of his daughter if you want the real heavy stuff.

It's not that we can't feed our children, it's that we don't want to. Jesus loves you* so that the government doesn't have to.

*Offer not valid for gays, nonwhites, trans people, women, non-Christians, or kids who talk back.

Yeah, this happened in Denver, which is a blue city in a blue state. No reason the Dems couldn't get her if they wanted. I still expect no charges, though.

I would say she did this to fundraise off of being a victim, but that would require a degree of foresight that I don't think she possesses.

She

Well, there's your first problem. Musk doesn't give a shit about what women think. The man is an S tier misogynist. He probably zoned out listening to this woman and wondered how many horses it would cost to get a handy out of her.

My platform will be one high enough to push ~~Vicki~~ fascists off to their deaths.

Maybe with some spikes at the bottom for good measure. You can't be too careful.

Definitely. Expecting to live after calling off the coup was the stupid move here. He crossed the Rubicon when he seized Rostov. After that, it was win or die and he ruled out winning. It wasn't hard to figure out what would happen next.

It's easily the best CK3 DLC and in the running for best CK DLC overall. I love it.

Well part of the problem is that there isn't total agreement on what a republic is. By some definitions it's basically anything that isn't a monarchy. Some medieval republics didn't have elections and instead chose their officials by sortition, which is essentially a lottery. China and North Korea do have elections, but they're total shams (and North Korea is basically a monarchy is a thin coat of republican paint, since by law they can't have any leader that isn't descended from Kim Il Sung).

Technically, no. The Constitution says "the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government," but "republican" has historically been very loosely interpreted. Technically, China and North Korea are both republics.
