Pretty low bar, but yeah. He was vilified more than he should have been for short term gains and now the Democrats have lost a seat for the long term that they can't afford to lose.

Please, please prove me wrong West Virginia.

Wtf kind of democracy is he advocating for then?

None.

Prichard... has previously called on conservative states to "put into code that Jesus Christ is King and dedicate their state to Him"

He wants theocracy, of course.

What do you mean? They are. If we stopped paying Pete we'd have the current US debt payed off in about 149,052,132 years. Maybe add a few hundred thousand years for interest but I don't believe that's significant.

Bankrupting America’s future by investing in it.

This is sarcasm gang. I'd put money on it.

Yes. She'd have to be impeached by the House of Representatives, then convicted in the Senate by a 2/3 majority. Basically will never happen.

I’m sure that when “Mid November 2024” comes around, she’ll suddenly have another reason to delay because Trump will then be appealing the results of the election about 47 times

Hopefully he'll be in a Georgia prison by then. He can't pardon his way out of that one either.

Yes, they can appeal to the 11th circuit to have her removed. That's not an easy thing to do though.

At this point I'm convinced she's literally in communication with his team or people once removed. This is the most slam dunk case ever. Did he have these documents? Yes. Was he allowed to? No.

if Azerbaijan invades actual Armenia proper, then that's a different story.

The possibility of that happening is literally the linked article.

Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan. Always has been.

Internationally recognized, fine. The population was about 120,000. 100,000 fled to Armenia after the attack. I'm sure they care about international lines on a map.

Always has been is categorically false. Armenia has been a country for about a thousand years before the ones who drew the lines on your map.

The "Christians being persecuted" crowd only care about Target selling shirts with rainbows.

They were actually the first Christian nation in 301 AD/CE. Not that state religion is great, but it's an interesting history given they were sandwiched between the Romans and the Parthians at the time and were pretty much a football between the Romans and whoever was nextdoor throughout the entirety of the Roman empire. If they aligned with "nextdoor" the Romans often ignored them as long as they didn't allow armies from nextdoor through. And when the Romans had their own puppet king over there, well, bully for them.

Not much has changed. Now they're sandwiched between Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Georgia, with Georgia being a Russian conduit at least militarily if not politically. And Turkey and Azerbaijan are effectively one and the same with Azerbaijian having a dash of Russian influence. That's not a great place to be if you're a tiny country served as an appetizer to the surrounding powers.

Anyway, welcome to my TED Talk.
