You'd think the fact that the Russian constitution already says invading countries is illegal would mean we have no need to sign yet another treaty promising we won't invade countries.
But you would be wrong.

When a major media outlet openly capitulates to the political agenda of the executive branch, they are no longer part of the fourth estate.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

Today is 92nd anniversary of Holodomor. Soviet Russia inflicted a man made famine on Ukraine that killed millions. Today we are trying to wipe the country off the map.
The only difference is the USA is on our side now.

None of this is happening in the Orthodox Church, especially not adopting pre-Vatican II theology.
Please, my brothers and sisters, do not try to explain the doctrine of a church you've never attended

You should be concerned. It's not the faith that's attracting them it's the older rituals and traditions that Catholics dumped after Vatican II. The older style Mass, women covering their hair, all the things they can try to use in a toxic way.

People who advocate for electing the president by popular really are saying that federalism shouldn't matter - largely because they like the way that big cities would control elections. (For now.) This is dumb, especially now, when federalism has been a godsend.

I will put this on QT to remind everyone that I have repeatedly called Trump a fascist, but rejected the argument that America is now a fascist state.
I suspect people know I've said this, and just keep ignoring it, because the need for drama is greater than the need for precision.

So it seems that, objectively, this pre-Trump dictionary definition of "fascist" describes the Trump philosophy and system very accurately, better than other terms that are frequently suggested (e.g. "authoritarian", "totalitarian", etc.) So let's just call Trump a fascist already. It is what it is.
