I think you could make a very strong argument that the proportion of the population that isn't under dubious leadership is vanishingly slight.

That isn't what NATO Restricted means, at least not in the US—I'm not going to attempt to delve into Hungarian law. It falls under the category of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) established by Executive Order 13556, and codified in DoD Instruction 5200.48

This information is not freely available to the public, and must be cleared for release according to the procedures detailed in the aforementioned documents, which specify that it should only be disseminated for official government purposes.

Perhaps the Balrog underestimated Gandalf, thinking it could cast him into the abyss, then fly back up to deal with the rest of the Fellowship. Alternatively, maybe it calculated that its best chance of defeating the wizard was to grapple with him at close quarters. Either way, the Balrog falling doesn't necessarily mean that it wasn't capable of flight.

But.. you don't use butter to make bread. Flour and water, maybe some yeast. If you're using butter to make dough, then it's some kind of pastry.

Oh, and you can forget about wearing any kind of wrap-around shades! Might as well put on a red hat. I feel your pain.

Can you see that you're arguing against fictitious strawmen? You seem to be operating under the delusion that for all the dumb normies who have "bought into" the existing two-party system, politics is just a game that they play without understanding. You've reduced them all to NPC's who lack the capacity to reason; obviously their only motivation could be mindless conformity to their "team".

Is it your contention that it doesn't matter what party controls the branches of government, because they're both the same? While this is factually inaccurate, it would at least be in line with the actions you're advocating. Speaking of which, how exactly do you imagine a "protest" vote would deny the subsequently elected government legitimacy? What force and effect do you foresee that action producing? Because anyone with a working knowledge of our electoral system can tell you that the only discernable result will be the empowerment of the minority party, which in this case seeks a fascist overthrow of our democratic system.

What you're doing here is applying shallow, childish logic to a complex and nuanced problem, while pretending to have some high-minded motivations which—if they exist at all—clearly haven't been thought through.

If the last person who talked to him was Stephen Miller, it probably is. To paraphrase George Burns, putting an idea into his head is like putting a basketball into a thimble.

Literally nobody is saying this. You're full of shit.

Every single article about "gen x" this or "gen z" that is 100% bullshit. Stop reposting this garbage.

I had a science teacher that told us, "If you sneeze three times and nobody blesses you, the devil takes your soul!"

It's science.
