Mostly correct but guys like Cicero tried to divide and conquer the Caesar faction post assassination but did not expect them to be able to see past rivalries for potential gains.
To be fair I completely left out the civil war that happened anyways (even after they tried placating those loyal to Caesar and their armies), and the triumvirate, and what have you, but either way Octavius basically became a god-king no matter what he called his own position, all because of the senate being retarded, and the later aristocrats had to basically beg him for their senatorial authority back and crown him anyways because he became insanely popular himself. As we all know, this then lead to Rome's early golden age, with peace, prosperity, and political outreach.

If plenty of this sounds similar, that's because political history is a goddamn circle.
 
regardless of how practical AI is, it's the next arms race and if it does turn out to be a significant technology then it's better that we have the infrastructure available to do research on American soil. imagine if we had our own Large Hadron Collider to compete with the commies in europe
While Bush Senior was president, he had authorized the construction of the largest hadron collider in the world. With it wrapped around the Dallas-Ft Worth metroplex. But one of the first things Clinton as POTUS had done was to shitcanned the whole thing and backed the Euros in building the hadron collider in Switzerland.
 
Wasn't it Graydon Carter (editor of Vanity Fair, at the time writing for Sky) who started the "small-fingered vulgarian" thing back in 1988?
He mentioned it in an article and claims ever since that Trump sends him pictures with his hands circled as an own. Carter is full of shit. And while he might be the first to mention Trump's hands, it is Schumer who pushed it as an attack when Trump seriously ran in 2016.

Everyone praising Clinton as some kind of pragmatic Democrat didn't live through the era. That rat bastard sold us out to the EU and China every chance he got, and turned the diplomatic opportunity of a millennium, the dissolution of the USSR, into nothing more than a cash grab for himself and his buddies. He was a piece of shit, through and through, and is fondly remembered solely because falling interest rates and the dot-com boom fueled a period of economic good times.
 
It’s a very minor complaint of mine but I’m not looking forward to all of the internet tough guys vague-posting about The Ides of March tomorrow.
lol they're all pussies. They won't do shit. And on the off-chance I'm wrong and someone really does try something, it'll be half-assed, they'll fuck it up, and either kill themselves in the attempt, get themselves shot, or screw up so hard they get busted well before making the attempt.

They don't have the budget for the kind of sharpshooter they sicced on Trump during the election cycle anymore.

Knowing Bush senior, it makes me like Clinton more. He might have saved all of Dallas from having their souls shredded in some fucked up mega-ritual to empower the evil Navajo trickster-idiot god they have locked up somewhere in the South-West

He also was fine with North Korea building a nuclear reactor as long as they promised not to weaponize it..

The irony is the end of the Cold War - a feat accomplished by a vastly better presidential administration - fostered that boom. All of that technical know-how flooded the world. And, as you say, he sold us out to the EU and China.
 
RFK Jr and Hannity claim Trump has lost some weight by occasionally skipping the buns on his burgers.
it looks like Hannity said it and RFK jr is regretting his cabinet position
The assassination of Caesar led to 100 years of civil war in Rome, and gave rise to some literal batshit emperors.
to be fair the roman empire only exists because of the civil war, i doubt rome could have thrived over the next 200 years without it

don't count your chickens before they hatch; plenty of idiots at this point in trump's first term also felt the GOP won and the democrats would cease to exist
 
The same "protected name" thing is true for Scotch, which is just Whiskey made in Scotland. If an American vendor makes the same product with the same recipe it's called Whiskey.
Almost.

Whisky gets a lot of it's flavour and character from the spring water used, the barrels used and the location and sheds it's aged in. You'll never get a coastal malt made in ohio. You'll never get a highland malt from florida and you'll never find a Nessie in the zoo.

And btw you guys help plenty already, your jack Daniels barrels go on to spend 30 years holding glen morangie after 3 (lol) years doing jack in America.
