Not to mention the consumer base that makes this all function collapses.

Tony Blair isn't even dead and he got reborn as this guy.

They don't need a reason, really. 5% of GDP is moronic, the number alone is reason enough to pass. Not 5% of the national budget. 5% of GDP. Insane.

No, really, it is like the blitz. It's just Israel is playing the German side.

Maybe we can get back to workplaces training their employees for the job they want them to do rather than putting the entire cost of training on 18 year oldish high school graduates for a job market that might not even be great (or exist) once they graduate post-secondary.

US history is a little more than unblemished, though. Hell, not even history. They are literally arming a genocidal state as we speak.

As far as I'm aware there is no rule he can't pick his own name as his pope name, should he want to be cool.

Any French commenters able to contextualize this news for the rest of us? Le Pen's party has been gaining popularity in recent years, if I recall correctly. How is this likely to impact them? Are they organized enough to continue on without her, or is this likely to seriously hurt their electoral chances?
It's always good to see a fascist lose but I'm not tuned in enough to French politics to know the full significance of this.

Is the fight you picked not going as well as you had hoped, Donald?
