Doubt. The last time a Republican went against the party in a way that actually mattered, that Republican was dying of brain cancer and had nothing left to lose.

Funny enough, the Romans themselves considered the Pyramids and similar monuments to be very impressive works of Egyptian engineering.

There were nit combs and the sort, but lice are extremely common in pre-modern populations of all sorts, high-class and low, clean and dirty alike.

Well didn’t moron use to be a medical term too? So you’re doing the same thing here, hows moron different from retard?

Do I have to explain to you how language works? Terms develop connotations over time. Usage makes some into slurs. This isn't complex. This is how every fucking slur comes about. Jesus H. Christ.

I mean, tankies support the genocide of Ukraine, so it's only natural that they'd immediately jump to projection.

Because I guarantee you that’ll be a slur in five years.

'Retard' has had a rather unique journey as a clinical term through periods of great prejudice against the mentally disabled, before ending up as an insult, and once an insult, was widely used against the genuinely mentally disabled as a means of demeaning them, giving it a particularly bad history.

Don't be a fucking moron.

No more than 10 to 20 million killed, tops! Uh, depending on the breaks.

For future reference, 'retard' is not kosher anymore. I grew up in the era when we were all using it too, so I get the habit, but please avoid the term in this community in the future.

Don't worry, any incidents of self-defense by minorities will be rigorously investigated and any relevant evidence ~~fabricated~~ found

Doubt. The House isn't the Senate, the minority can't do shit.
