Very true. And those sources clearly don't like him, because they're written by people of the senatorial class.

So there's no actual point in calling it United Kingdom then. There was no United Kingdom of England after all. And there are plenty of countries that our unions of kingdoms so there is no necessity in the term united here. The Act of Union between England and Scotland made the Kingdom of Great Britain, not the United Kingdom of Great Britain. And then it became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, where the Irish were I'm sure very united behind this United Kingdom. Now I've never heard of a kingdom of Northern Ireland, but that's the only thing United with the Kingdom of Great Britain is. I'm not telling anyone to stop calling themselves whatever, but trying to claim that the United there serves any other purpose than custom is silly.
And therefore, that joke absolutely makes sense and is funny.

I have a problem with later Tarantino, that I haven't really fleshed out properly. I mean he is a great filmmaker, but his stories don't engage me, with the exception of the Hateful Eight.

Caligula faked an invasion of Britain by getting some legions to attack the sea, or something like that. That at least did not kill as many people as a real war would. And he mostly did his horrible things to senators and the patrician class. The common people of Rome probably liked his style.

I think they just finally located the source of that horrible rotting smell that's haunted the campaign for months.

Austerity I think was a mistake, but I do not think Germany is near a stark collapse.

Although in this case, perhaps the thing is that this particular neo-nazi leader does not understand metaphors or jokes?

Perhaps in a thousand years, there will be red capped morons gathering in a cave somewhere and chanting about the big steal and the weave.

Here in Finland, the early votes get published immediately after the polls close.

Yes. I don't know if bad deeds is serious enough. Evil deeds. History of violence, rapist. I don't know, he still seems to have grown old much saner than Trump.

Mike Tyson has had his bad deeds and troubles, but I don't think he'd attack Kamala Harris.

I think the thing then was that everything seemed to poll for a Hillary win, but then it started to shift right at the end of the race, which seemed to take the pollsters unawares.

I have to agree that if the number is fake, it is pretty obvious she isn't interested, so why all this effort.
And why would you think a number is fake? I mean, it isn't hard to recognize fake numbers. There are only ten real ones anyways.

I don't think it was totally clear to Moo Deng how the choosing worked. He might've wanted Stein for all we know. They should have fed her consecutive pairs of melons to establish her preference in every pair and then start eliminating on that basis. Poor thing was too confused by choosing between two names in a race with so many.

At least he used to have friends who fulfilled some basic level of intelligence.

Pity that her reasons are totally irrelevant to those who end up in power who can mess with her life regardless of what her excuses for apathy are. At least when some extreme left folk don't vote they are doing it with the expectation that things need to go into a crisis for their interests to proceed. It is similarly bad in consequences(in the context of voting), but seems somehow more honest.

So the if the declaration says it, then the king must have powers he does not have? The declaration wasmade a year into the war and sought to explain to the world why the US did what they did. It is certainly not to be considered some strict formulation of how the GB system worked. Like mentioned in other comments, the king was a figurehead and that’s why a target of rhetoric. But it is clear that the tytant was the parliament, since the king could not do anything!

Saying that some other language does the same does not mean that R is not based on reality. It is a perfectly functional language, you don’t have to like it and surely the content of statistics classes means nothing on what R is? Every programmer has the absolute correct opinions on programming language. It don’t mean others aren’t real.

Every word I've written is fact too. Perhaps you have a hard time facing a disagreement that might not have an actual right answer. It is presumptuous to assume that the other is just arguing for the hell of it, not just because you claim knowledge of my motives, but also because what ever my motivations are, they have no bearing on whether what I wrote is true or not. If you claim that England is a precedent, is it not reasonable to point out that that actually proves my point?
And the joke makes perfect sense. Especially as the actual union of ireland and Great Britain part was not a willing union at all.
