Racist Supreme Court allows racial profiling based on looks. All Top Military officials called to Virginia for an informal meeting the day before a government shut down. State of emergency anyone?
Chicago: Under siege.

I presume that we've all noticed that the former Welsh Reform UK leader has pled guilty to charges relating to corruption in peddling Russian propaganda?
The same sort of schtick, on the same sort of outlets, that the frog faced leader of that same party has a track record in. Although I imply no impropriety, as I'm sure that we can all agree that the lying little frog faced toe rag totally believes the divisive, bigotted, and fascist crap that he peddles and he doesn't do it at all to promote the interests of a foreign power who are paying him to destabilise the country. I mean look at all those flags. It's clearly the patriotism that motivates him.
Funny how one can be a proven vile traitor, and another a deeply conviction driven patriot, and them look so very similar.
Life is complicated.

Can you guess from the party names which one is pro-Russia?
-
Classically you would punt for the one around fifty-two percent which seems to be the percentage, of thickoes who have inserted a food blender through their ears and believe any lying russian sourced claptrap, that each society seems to have to carry.
But then of course flags are always a clue.
Maybe Moldova has 74% of it's population genetically pre-disposed to being mugged off by fascists?
-
Without knowing - no. Any of those names you could make an argument for being faux-patriotic, pro-Russia parties.
-
if anyone has fascist tendencies or speaks with a Russian accent. Shoot them.
Chicago: Not playing favourites.

I like the sound of democracy at home, next thing you know the youngest has stole 3/5ths of the vote with his chocolate all the time policy and everyone has got the shits.

Fuck me, I knew Ingo was a bit right wing but he's gone full Three Fifths Compromise. Maybe he's turned his Dad's farm into a cotton plantation?

Vertical integration is for winners.

So, a library in every primary school is the promise. What? I honestly assumed there was already a library in every school. There was when my kids were growing up.
-
Sounds like headline fodder for boomers. Yes, every school had a library when we were younger, but that was before everyone had the world's largest library in their pocket. The physical medium surely isn't what matters, it's instilling a desire and ability to learn into children.
Says the childless man in his 50s, obviously.

Not every primary school child has the worlds largest library in their pocket
-
Ok, but that same library is available through the PCs that are ubiquitous in modern schools. I think you understand my point, which is that while books are great they are not in and of themselves particularly important except to old people who think that the fact that were forced to spend hours going through dog eared copies of Encyclopedia Britannica to do their homework means that that's the best way to learn.
-
PCs weren't that ubiquitous in my kids schools. And they were decent schools. Did have libraries though.
And the library is more about story books than reference books I think.
-
Indeed. A love of reading for pleasure is one of the greatest things you can give to a child. A prinary school without a library is like a football club without a ball.
