Hold up.
"The left campaigned to stop conscription, but did nothing about the wrecked lives."
Did the right do anything about either conscription or the wrecked lives?
If not - why are you down on the left? At least they did something.
I'd prefer someone pushed Putin out of a window. Preferably above the 10th floor.
That would have the benefit of being both a traditional Russian firing, and poetic justice.
Put it this way, if I did meet someone who was pro Trump, I'd be very suspicious about their judgement.
Probably the kind of person who would vote for Clive Palmer here.
The president has always had the ability to pardon someone. And in this case, although it's not a good look, he did it because his son was being hammered far more than any other person doing the same crime, for purely political purposes.
For once he's probably (partially) right. If it wasn't for the knowledge that things are going to be a lot more unpredictable in 5 days, there probably wouldn't have been that impetus.
Plus on this one issue there's bipartisanship. Biden wants the ceasefire before he leaves office for his legacy, Trump doesn't want the mess when he starts.
I may have to apologize here, although fiercely argued in other places too (https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1847834/is-a-negative-number-squared-negative for example), it does appear that the exponent is resolved on the absolute number first and then the negative applied to the result.
So yes - you're right Rob!
A negative multplied by another negative is a positive.
I respectfully disagree with RGMWA, if the negative was outside the bracket then -4 would be correct, but a negative squared is a positive.
What?
Everyone is taught that way, not just Americans.
There's no such thing as just solving it left to right. Parentheses first, then exponents, division/multiplication, addition/substraction.
Ah, the whole "religion is a good argument for atheism" situation.
Basically if those brainless twats are the best supporters that god can get, either he's incompetent or non existent.
How's your acting skills?
Become a "true" convert, work your way up into senior leadership, then hollow the bastards out from the inside.
Start trickle feeding some logic and fact in, then move on to progressive agenda items. Before you know it you'll have an ACL float in the Mardi Gras!
