Think about the autocratic leaders of the 20th century. How many were brought down internally? Very few. Most either just died or lost a war to foreign powers. Why haven't the Russians removed Putin? What about Xi in China? It took Hungary 16 years and they had the advantage of a fair election.
My dad made $24,000 a year in 1976 and bought a house for $24,000, about $140,000 in today's money. (Yes, he made good money.) The house is now worth $275,000. Do you think the people who live there make $275k/year? If they did, they wouldn't live in my old neighborhood.
I detest her rhetoric. I agree with her about online gambling and OF, though.
I'm hoping Palace will concentrate on the Conference League, which they could legitimately win. Maybe they won't put out their best XI Monday. Not much to play for in the league.
I will blame myself
We still have Arsenal. Other than that, we mostly miss the heavyweights.
Too many games left to say that but 3 points on Monday would feel massive
Iggy Pop is still fantastic live
Lord knows I don't want to jinx us, but that felt like a relegation result for Tottenham. We'll see.
Not really a denial of anything there
Who got fired?
Then he turns around and gives the cone to a blonde
Any news on those Man City charges? No? Interesting.
Didn't work on me. I've never heard of them.

This is kind of an American take. When I worked in France, I didn't leave my desk to walk to a meeting until 15 minutes after the meeting was supposed to start, and I was often still the first to arrive.
Love your videos, by the way.
Making the playoffs was an accomplishment for this team
Fort Worth in the mid-'90s. Two people could get a full stack of pancakes at Ol' South Pancake House for $8 total with generous tip. Then go downtown, park for free, and see a movie for $5.50 total with a student discount. $13.50 all in for a night out. Not each--total for two. $30 in today's money.
Now we need some help
There is clearly a lot I don't know about this
Pastor, this is the choir
I never knew that. Thank you.
What is it with men?
Yes, I have always been under that impression. Was that not the case?
It sticks very, very close to the book. The storytelling is incredible. This is a portrait of a different America where people were shocked by corruption instead of expecting it, and journalists had the support and resources to chase a story. No minimums of clicks or views to meet every day.
$1000 tickets aren't helping
Jay Leno was never funny
I hope you enjoyed Boston
Stalin, H*tler, Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Castro. None of them died by assassination. Putin is still alive. I see posts on here suggesting Americans should violently overthrow Trump. We can debate the wisdom or consequences of such a move, but the bottom line is that it would be almost impossible.
