Whoever wrote this has both a poor grasp of how translation works and a poor grasp of the book of Revelation.
Also a poor grasp on reality.

What type of music are you looking to sing? Or are you just looking for a general voice instructor?

What is the thing in the hole in the D?
Edited to add: That sounds a lot dirtier when I read it out loud.

The Republicans on this town committee sound pretty tone deaf and dismissive. And to a large extent are mischaracterizing the debate.
And now the part that is going to get me down-voted: flags are political speech. ALL flags are political speech, regardless of the message they convey.
That's not my opinion. That's the opinion and ruling by the Supreme Court across multiple cases (Texas v Johnson, US v O'Brien, Tinker v Des Moines Independent School District, Stromberg v California, etc.)
The board took the correct action if it wants to avoid a terrible choice: allow politically horrible causes to fly their flags too or face serious legal ramifications.

It's Kabosh or Kibosh. Kybosh if you don't know anybody that uses Yiddish slang. Never start it with a C.
And no, I'm not fun at parties.
Are you talking about active campaigns posting on here or just people talking about politics?

Reply to CNN calls out false attack ads against George Logan by Democrats in CT05 race - “facts first” by Afraid-Pattern4478
The ad won't be considered libel because, well, Mr. Logan is a politician and has played both sides of the issue.
The CNN article correctly points out that Mr. Logan has repeatedly said that he is in favor of abortion being legal. However, he has also stated that he supports the GOP's Commitment to America (CtA).
And the CtA's Government That's Accountable section includes the language, "protect the lives of unborn children". Mr Logan's has not made any conditional statements about his support for the CtA or made any statements that he does not support a specific part of it.
While the CNN report is correct that Mr. Logan is not pro-life, the Democratic attack ads are also correct in their claim that he has expressed support for the GOP position on abortion.

It did not.
I didn't downvote your comment but it looks like I wasn't the only one that missed the sarcasm.

Four of the top ten largest economies in the world are in western Europe. How are France, Germany, and the UK comparable to third world hellholes?

Care to share examples of where they said vaccinated people wouldn't get COVID? 'Cause that ain't how the vaccine works.

> settled science
Gah! I hate that term. It flies in the face of what science is. No science should be settled since science is about expanding and improving what we know. No theory, no hypothesis, no idea should be so sacrosanct that we should be re-testing or re-validating. No aspect of science should be settled.

Come November, the Republican Party will be sorry, too. Early polling of the general population gave her a 10 point higher chance against Senator Blumenthal than either Levy or Lumaj.

Reply to You turn on the tv/internet/radio and find out nuclear war is starting. What is your next move? by AcornTopHat
Stay where I am and keep doing what I'm doing because I'm not in any danger.
Most of the other answers on here highlight the general lack of understanding of how nuclear weapons are used. In no scenario (outside of movies and video games) are nuclear powers lobbing nukes at each other's countries.
Nuclear weapons are wasted by attacking civilian populations, rather they are used on military forces on or approaching the front line, logistical hubs near that front lines, and forward staging areas.
As for the question about fallout and nuclear winter...
In the 21st century we now know that the idea of MAD or nuclear winter is far from settled science. This post over in r/AskHistorians gives a great breakdown on the history and difficulty of figuring out whether these things are even possible.
