They're red-jays, you just can't tell because they're flying so fast directly at you.

Only took them forty-five years, but they're finally going to get the war with Iran they've been so desperate to start.

There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

I would say the biggest indictments against the French Revolution can be found in Algeria and Haiti and Vietnam.

Snopes tends to be better about apolitical stuff.

I'm surprised politifact is even a thing anymore. I remember them throwing up obvious bullshit going back to the Obama Administration.

Obama 2008. And even then, only appealing to the segment of the population not biting through its own tongue trying not to say the N-word.

Also - and, admittedly, this was just during the primary - but I'm going to take a bold position and say I found Bernie Sanders appealing.

Nonsense. It's clearly a kakistocracy
