China hasn't made a move on Taiwan because they're weak as hell. Their carrier is old shit that used a fucking ramp. I'm guessing they're not sure they can take Taiwan and hold it against even our current military right now. Don't forget, Taiwan can shell the mainland from their island if China gets frosty, I'm sure they don't think they'd be able to absorb that.

They call him Dirty Harry because the cops make him do all the unpleasant jobs, not because he's a corrupt cop. They literally spell it out in the first movie when he talks the guy out of suicide.

The true destruction of States being separate political entities came when the Senate was changed from appointed, to directly elected. The States no longer have federal representation as an entity, now it's just the people (House), and the people, but smaller (Senate).

let me plug back into the circus to tell you how dumb you are for plugging back into the circus

How can you not see that you're doing the thing you're calling us all dumb for doing?

I'm detached, unless it's happening then I comment how dumb you all are

I'm so much smarter than you all because I comment about how futile it is to even talk about this stuff, let alone vote

I'm detached from the political cycle

I constantly talk about how the political cycle is fake and attack anyone who says to vote

That's what I said in the last half, a lot of the time they use classic demon aesthetic, but use the Shinto logic for their behavior, regardless of setting.

Those shows are set outside of Japan, but, in most of them, everyone acts like they're Japanese anyway.

In anime it would depend on what kind of demons they're referring to. In Shinto Yokai can be good, bad or indifferent and that word gets translated to demon in English pretty much all the time. So if they're basing the demon race on that concept then there can be nuance.

It gets really muddled when they also use the Catholic version of demons for the aesthetic like in Blue Exorcist, but use Shinto logic for their behavior.

My parents prepared me for how cruel the world would be, they couldn't prepare me for how fake and gay it has become.

With JFK it wasn't as widely known that he was trying to change the government, simply because information moved much more slowly now. Most people didn't blame the CIA for his death until later.

You were proven wrong this year dude, you just pretend that you're not by constantly saying "it worked this time, but won't next time!"

That's what the leftists do.

You won't even do the bare minimum to participate in the political process, you sure as shit won't be doing anything more difficult.

What should Trump do to stop woke shit in media? Pass the equivalent of hate speech laws?

This isn't supporting abortion, this is fetishizing it.

I support self defense, but stop short at legalizing murder.

The left is at the "legalizing murder" stage with abortion, no limits, no discussion, just abort it whenever and for whatever reason!

That's nutso.

Ungrateful dickheads. I know WWII was a long time ago, but these weirdos seem to have no gratitude to either the US for Lend Lease (and fighting half the war pretty much on our own) nor Russia for bleeding the most to liberate their dipshit countries.
