It's worth noting that the Romans believed that female adultery was very common in their society.

It's completely normal to be upset at the implication of suspecting adultery. She just said 'if paternity testing was normal outside of Maury Povich' she'd be fine with it.

The Maya certainly have less of a reputation for alcoholism than the Cherokee.

Yes, it is heresy for mainstream Christians. Angels are held to be made as, specifically, servants of God and demons are simply those who rebelled. They are not beings with their own civilization.

Or, more likely, somebody appointed to the administration for some other reason simply wants this stuff declassified, and Trump, being an outsider who doesn't really care about the issue, is willing to do it. There's also an outside possibility that this is some second order effect of DOGE, where the people pushing to keep this stuff classified got fired.

Does Abdul El Sayed have non-Israel related opinions? What are they? Is this a likely case of nominating a near-squad member in a technically swing state?

Poor Hispanic people eat beans. Poor white people do not(or, indeed, vegetables of any kind). Both mostly get peanuts in candy.

I will note that although the parties nationally can't get their shit together well enough to pass voter ID laws, states with strict voter ID and no mail in ballots are all red.

This is the exact same mistake that Biden did. He won 2020 and they took it as a mandate to do everything they wanted, instead of trying to aim for the moderate centrist voters who decide elections
Biden did not do this. His admin was full of radicals who believed in arc of history triumphalist nonsense thought themselves to have a mandate to do whatever current progressive doctrine wanted, sure, but they believed this regardless of election results and also this wasn't sleepy Joe himself, it was staffers.

Puerto Rico is corrupt, news at 11. That's why nobody cares about this story. Not because of the partisan valences, because 'Bribes paid in Puerto Rico' is a page five story, and this one didn't even manage to actually swing the election.

Haiti being a basket case is relatively recent, because they were ruled by an insane witch who turned the country into a failed state because he didn't trust his own government, and the Dominican Republic's dictatorship was a normal standard average egomaniac strongman.

Isn't the main non-Indo-European zone in Italy in historic times Etruria, today one of the wealthier regions?

The counterfactual is, of course, Ireland, which saw much higher and longer migration and now has the same wages as the historic colonial overlord.

Aren't Italian Americans generally quite successful outside of organized crime?

But the indo-Europeans were not a civilized people, they were steppe barbarians, and indo-European-ness doesn’t elsewhere correlate with wealth within Europe- Finland and the Basque Country are both wealthier regions.

The knights of Columbus are a Fortune 500 company with no reliance on external funding and strong ties to the powers that be, because practicing Catholics are overrepresented in the elites and functionally all male practicing Catholics are members. This makes labeling them a hate group both A) pointless and B) risky.
The $PLC’s ‘radical traditional Catholic’ hate category is indeed full of groups which are not hateful, and those which are not groups, alongside a small number of deranged conspiracy theorists like the dimond brothers’ monastery. But it doesn’t address the knights of Columbus.

Going back four generations. Probably roughly a third 20’s and younger. Keeping track of exact ages is a woman thing, thats a best guess.
You've never even had a coworker change gender on you?
No? Is this a common experience? I don’t work in big tech, I don’t think I’ve ever had a coworker transition.

I have a very large family and trans issues are entirely theoretical, just some weirdos that come from other, worse, families. Ditto for my in laws.

Going to(thé correct)church is strongly recommended and sometimes mandatory in rightist regimes with a religious component- Vatican II happened to blow up a load bearing pillar of Franco’s regime(and South Vietnam’s, but that’s another, longer, less straightforwards, story), but that didn’t mean public irreligion was acceptable.

The intimidation being delusional is extremely relevant information.

To note, from what I’ve heard, a substantial part of contraceptive failure- I don’t use the things myself- is that people don’t like them. They discomfit people because they’re unnatural, so people take shortcuts, they cheat, they try to get away from it.
It’s an entirely human reaction to refuse to do the thing right, when you know the thing itself is wrong.

My understanding is trans panic has been used successfully for lesser charges, but not in a while, and never for murder.

But there’s two reasons for feeling widespread intimidation- either 1) a large portion of people are out to get you or 2) unjustifed paranoia.
This thread is evidence- albeit not a slam dunk- against the first hypothesis, and we already know transgenders have very poor mental health on average.

Communism- by which we mean intentional socialism or Marxist-Leninism- is too unworkable to exist without an authoritarian edifice, and so it only exists where dissent is suppressed.
This part is not true- adultery is not accepted as a reason for divorce in religions that forbid it. The largest such, the Roman Catholic Church, recommends a civil divorce only when the marriage endangers a member or members of the household and doesn't accept divorces as valid in any circumstance(it is not sufficient for an annulment to demonstrate that the parties shouldn't be married anymore).
