This is my pinned post that links to my threads of Medieval Popes behaving badly. It's a humorous, slightly fast and loose retelling of the stories of some appalling Medieval Popes. When I have a new one, I'll reply with a link to the start of it. Enjoy!

They're putting in a targeting laser. For no particular reason.
(But seriously, I'm glad she's there. She's got very good friends at Vandy and if she needs anything they'll move heaven and earth for her.)

Oh my God, can you IMAGINE him playing guitar hero? The game would explode.

You sure did. Every accusation is a confession, I swear.

He was in Congress when that law passed in 2019. He was probably on the rules committee!

Although they probably also did have enough transport to ship them back had they wanted to (they were building liberty ships like tic-tacs) 6 identical copies of the USS We Built This Yesterday indeed.

And 13,000 Hellcats at basically the same time. And also about ~12,000 P51 Mustangs. And on and on. The USA produced more planes in 1944 (~96k) than Japan produced IN THE ENTIRE WAR (~77k).

What would really cut costs is to lower the list price, not offer a cash pay discount. All the insurance payments are based off of u&c. Those won't change a bit.

Given that I'm not reading the daily mail, I don't know the details, but depending on why she wanted frequent sex, opening up the relationship sexually might have helped.
