“Silva” means forest in Latin. The name Transylvania(it’s written Transilvania in Romanian) is a Latin translation of the Hungarian name for the region. In Romanian the region is known as Ardeal.
The “vania” suffix is not a thing that means “forest” In Romanian(source: me, a Romanian speaker).
We even have a word for this: slavery.
That’s a really cool name for lying you got there.
Why does the White House even need a Ballroom? Do they throw many balls?
How much money can he even get for this? I’m not a lawyer but I assume he can ask for lost wages and maybe for emotional distress(?) but that should come at around a few tens of thousands. From what I’ve seen before not even people that were wrongfully imprisoned for decades don’t get that much money in reparations. Also from looking it up Tennessee has a cap of 1 million dollars for reparations.
There’s still time.
Yeah but Tiger King is broke.
So at this point what’s stopping people from committing crimes and then just contributing a bit to Trump and telling him he’s the greatest guy for a pardon?
There is literally no oversight over who the President of the US pardons, it’s insane.
Junior has hoovered so much coke I’m surprised his nose hasn’t fell off his face by now.
Love how you can predict these polls without even looking at the percentages.
Q: Is Donald Trump eating a baby live on CSPAN the fault of the Republicans or the Democrats?
A:
39% Democrats
41% Republicans
12% Both sides are to blame.
8% I don’t know.
The wide-ranging powers of the Presidency are meant to be held in check by the other branches. The Founders did not anticipate a Congress and Supreme Court that would let the President break laws with impunity, just because that President aimed to hurt people they all hated
That’s such a load of bullshit. Your Founders barely bothered to outline what the Supreme Court is and what it can do. It was in 1789 that Congress actually determined the details of that and most of the powers of the Supreme Court were determined during John Marshall’s tenure as Chief Justice.
This is also doubly funny because it has happened before when President Andrew Jackson refused to respect the Supreme Court Decision in Worcester v. Georgia and the Supreme Court did nothing because the State of Georgia and the President aimed to hurt people they all hated (Native Americans) and it eventually led to the Trail of Tears.
I swear Americans don’t know their own history.
The founders disdained European-style parties, and did not want to replicate them here. They envisioned a country where individuals ran for office, and then all came to Congress representing their individual districts. They did not forsee how easy communication would get in the future, making the local District perspective less important.
The first US party was formed in 1789, that’s only 13 years after the US declared independence and only 6 years after the end of the Revolutionary War. Pretty much all of the founders were alive when the Federalist Party was formed, communications didn’t get much better than in 1776. By 1794-1795 both the Federalist Party and the newly formed opposition Democratic-Republican Party had state networks working on a local level in pretty much all the states.
I always love how Americans treat their current 2 party system as a new thing that arose due to modern communications but instead it was there since basically the beginning of their country.
“Any society is no more than three meals away from revolution.”
Once people get desperate they may resort to desperate measures.
They were plenty familiar with axes too. Medieval peasants would have to chop wood pretty much daily as fuel for cooking and heating. Also most medieval pitchforks were made from wood since that would be way cheaper, while axes were metal.
But yeah in case of revolt, unless it was a very impromptu affair, they would usually have blacksmiths which could modify their tools to make better weapons.
Considering that a good part of this administration is former FoxNews employees, are you surprised they act like FoxNews?
Next leak I’m expecting it to be from some pizza delivery guy that brings it into some highly classified meeting and he has to stay there until they finish and pay him for the delivery.
They realize that kicking her out just means she will be on her way back on the next boat. They are trying to intimidate her into not coming back.
I hope the Swedish government has a harsh answer for one of their citizens getting kidnapped in International Waters.
Why would they celebrate people that fought and killed fascists? They don’t want to give people ideas about fighting the fascists of today.
So their argument is that by not discriminating against black people it automatically means they are discriminating against white people. Pretty dumb argument.
My question then is, doesn’t the Constitution leave elections to state legislatures? Why are they not arguing instead that the Federal government is trying to interfere through the voting rights Act and therefore acting unconstitutionally?
Who could have seen this coming?
