Apparently we do. Iraqi Mps too. Never any Saudi ones of course, but hey, can’t win em all. And when the Iraqi parliament votes to expel us (“bring them home!”), we decide that the people who greeted us as liberators shouldn’t argue with the conditions we impose upon that liberation.

Nobody for now. If we’re still asking the same question in five years time with the same answer then I suppose the only thing to hope for is larger majorities.

Hired John Bolton, assasinated an Iranian general, (which Obama had decided against), and an Iraqi MP, and when the Iraqi parliament (greeted us as liberators) voted to expel US troops, threatened to sanction them.

I imagine American voters won’t be paying for it.

It’s the nature of the empire. Always has been.

How many are full-on Communist? Give me a number.

How do polls work?

F1's merging with WWE next season

That one’s always been such a fascinating conspiracy strawman to me. I can never shake the feeling eveytime I hear it that the person saying it is just trying to justify something to themselves.

Show collapsed slowly under him, (though the glut of similar shows every network suddenly decided to start giving to former show alumni and self-admitted rapist Jim Jeffries didn’t help). Whoever replaced Stewart didn’t have much chance, but even so there were probably better options than Noah.

Shamrock Rovers has an average attendance of about 4,000 people at games, and is basically a more successful Irish Millwall. You might as well extrapolate Nascar fans chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” to the US at large. I’m sure there’ll be something similar sung or done at Celtic games when Scottish football comes back a…

From Fromm and Adorno’s presentation of the authoritarian personality theory in the 50's, through Buckner in 1967, Balch in 1972, and Laguna in 2010, (with the exception of Niederhoffer in 1975), studies done usually show police to be essentially authoritarian at their core - and the personality trait becomes more…

A week in it looked like the war would drag on interminably.

It’s a little early in the day for me. Have you passed your story on to the Irish Times or the Independent yet? Belfast Telegraph would run with it too. They’ll all ask for proof though. Even the Star.

So do you. Go ahead and share a newspaper article, a clipping of some sort, any kind of evidence at all.

What decade, what part of the island dudebra, did your great-aunts boyfriend get decapitated and had his head placed on the family doorstep/alternatively was totally dismembered? Come on now. Time and place, put up or don’t.

You couldn’t direct me because it never happened to anyone you know.

It’s precisely because I do pay attention as part of my work that I know that it didn’t happen. The decapitation and leaving behind of a Catholics head on a doorstep by the UVF or an equivalent would be remembered and talked about with Ballymurphy, Bloody Sunday, the Dublin/Monaghan bombings, the burning out of 1969,…

Now there’s a gentleman who doesn’t understand his own geographic history. Presumably his ancestry coming from the less affected East of their island rather than it’s West where “cutting and running” meant not dying.
