Last Notes npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan It gets awkward to explain when you're explaining the low end of the ASCII code to somebody. The control code for CR is still there because back in the day there were line printers, nevermind typewriters. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=HashtagGames]HashtagGames[/url]
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan It's the isms that separate pie-in-sky from the practical, so Peter, what we have here is a Freudian Slip where Mamdani actually meant what he said in the way that he said it. Practicality (reality) will always win. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan That's the whole problem with Raymond, though. TVland has been carrying it, and it carries a few series also carried by MEtv and if that ain't sufficient enough, MEtv is NOW carrying for the love of Raymond AND Perry Mason besides...and doing promos in that regard. I never watched Raymond the first time around and I ain't gonna start now. Perry Mason FTW. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan You might be old enough to recall a band named Steppenwolf that had one big hit that spanned the decades; it's on one of their albums that they have the song "It's Never Too Late To Start All Over Again". All anybody does in any lifetime is make choices. The choices you made makes you the marvel that you are now.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan You continue to ignore the interpreter, so--#[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=fail]fail[/url] npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Sorry to disappoint again, but when programming is written out in text, the text is interpreted to an assembler which requires the use of both types of brackets; using only parentheses would foul up the language interpreter's assembly and therefore the program.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Both types of brackets are necessary in math and in coding, sorry to say. #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=nesting]nesting[/url] npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Ah yes, "Let's Get Together" by the Youngbloods, covered by Buffalo Springfield. And along those lines was Friend and Lover with "Reach Out Of The Darkness"
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Easy. Innocent of being a Hamas operative until proven guilty. The presumption of everyone's guilt = genocide = killing innocents which Jewish law, as I understand it, prohibits = denial of due process = extermination. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan [abstract=apub]Long thread/4[/abstract]
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Don't leave out Glen Beck. He's been at this racket for decades. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Also consider the source: TRT. Turkiye. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan So I hear. Target or not, it was nonetheless hit. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan To be fair, there WAS a hospital that was hit, covered by the headlines. It just wasn't this story is all. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=HashtagGames]HashtagGames[/url]
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Wish I had a dime for each time a time traveler learned that lesson the hard way. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I disagree with DeVos' conflation of security and politics, which is what he does when he drags "the coalition of the willing" into it. Freedom involves the ability to build coalitions including security coalitions and in that sense the coalitions are united in the sense you're trying to forward. Different peoples see different issues in different ways and insofar as all members of a union do contribute to a defense common to all of them, but some members are going to see additional matters as more serious than their far-flung brethren are likely to, but those come IN ADDITION to the common defense.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Trump is also countermanding GOP tradition of belief in an open free market, dead set against government controls on prices of anything. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan This wrong-headed assessment demands uniform marching in lock-step and the only places you can find that is in authoritarian dictatorships where people are free to form coalitions. This professor would be happier living in Russia or China. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Just to put a fine point on that issue--armyworm type cutworms are what I manually remove because I don't want to kill off the Tomato Hornworm, which turns into a nocturnal pollinator, a type of Sphinx moth. It might eat tomato leaves but it poops fertilizer, and while it eats it also stimulates tomato production. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan That one actually looks delicious. It's the highly fragrant red roses that make the best syrups and candies. <3 npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I know, but American Motors swiped the Jeep nonetheless. A Willys classic, that.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I can ball-park the era that was pre-General Motors, and nearly all the automakers that are no more, such as Tucker. Mexico was involved in U.S. auto production as early as the late 1950s going into the 1960s, and U.S. automakers had to join a conglomerate like General Motors or go extinct. Automakers like Studebaker went across the border too late in the game in the early/mid-60s and went out of business anyway.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Yes, the entirety of YouTube is spam. That's why I no longer boost any post containing YouTube content. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Framing the situation as religious indignation further illustrates that rational reasoning wasn't involved in the voters' choice. A rational reasonable person would have recognized right off that you'd get genocide either way, so the choice was relegated to a matter of degree. A rational reasonable person would have made the choice of the lesser degree; what we actually got was the choice of the greater degree, so rational reasoning had absolutely nothing to do with any of it. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan You're both right, actually. Religious indignation across the board was part and parcel of Biden's fall, and that of Harris, but it wasn't confined to just the charge of Palestine genocide. It was evangelical indignation that a woman was the choice against a man for office, and it was WASP indignation that she was both a woman and non-white....and I should add that devout fundamentalist Muslims believe that women should be excluded from high office.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Trump says a lot of things. Talk is cheap. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Trump isn't going to change his pro-Russia position over an apology. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan That would be a very foolish move, though, considering that China's interest in cozying up to Ruzzia is because China sees Ruzzia weakening and is now drooling over the prospects of Chinese hegemony over it. That objective is certainly within reach. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I usually stay posted on the current political climate but when it comes to the address to the joint session of US Congress, I'm taking a hard pass to watch old time TV--journos can be counted on to report the scandals du jour and listen to Mr. Diarrheamouth so that I don't have to. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan As soon as Trump announced tariffs on Canada, that's when. And there are more to come. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=IBetElonCant]IBetElonCant[/url] make an honest living without a government subsidy. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I was gonna say! If you're going with 691 flat dollars, why mess with that one li'l dollar at the end? npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=FAFO]FAFO[/url] The stupid in this one is strong. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I hope Summer's doing well, and we'll see some Summery doggie pictures that will warm our hearts in the dead of winter... <3
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan It's easy to go off on tangents with Star Trek. When I read this thread I was thinking "split persons, split personalities" then went looking for the classic episode with Frank Gorshin in it. That was one where split skin coloring determined whose side of a political conflict one was on, complete different versions of history...and were it not for the fact it resembles the US today, with the split personalities aligning with certain versions of reality, I would have just kept scrolling past this thread. It's worth a mention:
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=FromGroundZero]FromGroundZero[/url] #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=movie]movie[/url] I just heard about via Ayman on MSNBC --Palestine shorts of 22 #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=Palestine]Palestine[/url] filmmakers video diaries, submitted to the Oscar Academy. #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=WatermelonPictures]WatermelonPictures[/url]
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan You folks ALWAYS ignore the sanctuary is gone for WILDLIFE. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Dormant Giant npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Ya, flammable resin trees like pines, firs, cedars and eucalyptus are legit issues. Trees with tap roots can reach the water table even in drought situations; shallow-rooted understory trees are to be avoided. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Cutting trees is a very bad thing to do because when they're supplied enough moisture, that moisture is carried throughout the tree and they'll better perform as a fire barrier when they're properly vascular. The problem with trees feeding fires is that they're dried out by drought first. Everybody who has a fireplace or works with campfires KNOWS that wet wood doesn't burn. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan IMHO that would be selling Biden short, based on the Trump-proofing moves he's already made that managed to reach public notice, so I'm noticing that he's being quiet not out of defeat but out of the commission of quiet mischief. Dark Brandon is afoot. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan You rang? npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan All in all, situations that require resolution. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Excellent idea! ...and I think I'll do the same. A good port in a storm, so to speak. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I resolve to do better contingency planning because the upcoming year is anticipated to be a rough one, and it's likely the following year will also be. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan This looks like a good time to bring up toilet-guru, the thing Bob the Traveler cites often, as they've made a study of waste handling over the ages, including near-prehistoric times. A lot of good methodology can be had there.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan He should consider giving Slovakia to Russia. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan ...but back to the "new claim"--it isn't new, actually. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Gonna put the hashtag #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=seedswap]seedswap[/url] right here because I think it's a good idea.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Gonna put the hashtag #[url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=seedswap]seedswap[/url] right here because I think it's a good idea. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Ya, nobody needs to "eat the rich". They're too happy to eat each other. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Using the proper canning equipment is necessary, of course, and if you've mastered hot water bath method of canning vegetables, you'd do well to acquire a canning pressure cooker for the purpose of preserving meats as well. And there's pickling to explore, as well as drying. I happen to find dried strawberry chips rather tasty. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Both.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Yeah but can you believe Trump? Trump says a lot of things. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Dr. Zachary Smith is astonished.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Outside the duopoly there is nothing viable. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Somewhere there's a John Boehner laughing his ass off at this. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I'm surprised that there weren't millions more. It's the mark of a fan. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Quando omni flunkus moritati. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Tik Tok cannot change history and neither can you; Tik Tok's popular actual animal cannot make this post funny when it isn't. Get educated. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan This image is not funny and should be flagged as racist, and I doubt that a black person originated it. The short form of "raccoon" has been used as a racist slur against black people as commonly as "the n word". There is neither joke nor punchline in this image. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan That sounds a whole lot better, and under NO agreement should Ukraine give Kirsk back. ;-) npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan So just let Putin steal what's not rightfully his, huh.

npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Not familiar with "newsboy cap" but know "cabbie cap" and "Yorkshire bill cap". I tried to look up other names for it and came across "baker boy cap" and "cheesecutter cap"and for the life of me can't understand how those names came about. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan ...among Europeans, which brings this discussion to a close. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan ...which is first and foremost the reason why Newton wasn't singularly responsible by any stretch of the imagination. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan ..for Europe still because non Europeans were already onto it. And if they weren't, they wouldn't have listened to any European, developing it all quite independently of Newton. Universal truths are known universally, independently, of any one person. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Slight correction there, Steph--Sir Newton defined the methodology FOR EUROPE. The aforementioned enlightened Arabs were able to salvage quite a bit of the knowledge contained in the Christian-razed Alexandria Library, translated that into Arabic, and via that was able to convey those contents to Europe eventually; a substantial amount of that knowledge was copied and stored in Cordova, Spain, and a great deal of that was what passed for astronomy in ancient Greece, as well as medical knowledge which proved to be essential to surviving the plagues of the Dark Ages. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Rusty, you're quite correct about the enlightened Arabs. You just can't do science with Roman numerals--no zero. It was during the Dark Ages when Europe had to deal with Arabs, then subsequently got dragged kicking and screaming into adopting Arabic numerals and Arabic math which included the zero, which Romans didn't have. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I happen to be a donor to a local seed library, so hopefully all other libraries have those too. <3 npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan [share author='tomgrzybow' profile='https://societas.online/u/tomgrzybow' avatar='' link='https://societas.online/posts/b20939909261013d136b52549f1e3c03' posted='2024-12-01 22:29:47' guid='b20939909261013d136b52549f1e3c03' message_id='https://societas.online/objects/b20939909261013d136b52549f1e3c03'][url=https://diaspora.psyco.fr/posts/a96f4090922d013d987e7054d219cb33]♲[/url] @[url=https://diaspora.psyco.fr/u/dnietzsche][email protected] [/url]:[quote][url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=zappa]#zappa[/url] [url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=religion]#religion[/url] [url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=god]#god[/url] [url=https://friendica.myportal.social/search?tag=belief]#belief[/url] npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan The U.S. used to be wise to these things, but that was in previous centuries. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Steph, both you and Rusty are correct because it's the Romans that combined the religions of the conquered to successfully enforce the Roman claim to divine right to rule. You'll find in scripture Persian elements from Zoroasterism in there too when you look closely enough, as Mithraism was a political response to the Persian mixture of Zoroasterism and Magism to start with, and I now direct your attention to the Gospel of Matthew, the only one that mentions "The Magi"--pagan high priests of Persia. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Bacchus, but that works too. They're all political inventions, after all--and as long as any version of Bible is held to be holy, the Roman Empire still exists. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan ...which goes to my original point of what Romans always did--co-opt local religions and adapted them to the official Roman religion. One of many major cases in point is this thing called "Greco-Roman", which was actually the other 'way round in terms of who took over who: Roman-Greco. This was always the doing of the Romans since Romulus murdered Remus. Very few people know that the Romans didn't always speak Latin. They co-opted the language from a distinct tribe called Latins which co-habited what's now called Italy. That's how the Romans unified the peninsula. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan ...as I said--Christianized. Of course it coincides with the Yule of Christmas, by design. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan "Nope", as in, not indigenous, I guess??
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan That bit about "taking them to Spain" caught my eye, and sure enough--the Wiki page puts the origins of this tale right around the time when Spain was ruled by the Muslim Saracen Empire, but also when Turkyie was ruled by Turks but before those two Turk tribes (and they're Asian in origin) became known as Ottomans. The Turks learned Islam from the Saracen Arabs and it's no surprise to me that the Turks and Spaniards (Cordovans, to be more precise) indulged in the same practice of abducting Christian male children to raise in Islamic practice. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan My guess would be that's more of an indigenous story than Christianity-related, though, and in the same breath I'll point out that Roman Christianity has been notorious for co-opting, then Christianizing, locally held religions, rituals and stories. Romans had been doing exactly that ever since Romulus murdered his twin brother Remus, which is how the Roman Empire got built. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan We also make up exaggerations to make a point, so there's that. See also Grimm's Fairytales. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I can't say I buy into that everything/nothing dichotomy because I've found that even legends and fairy tales have origins in some sort of truth somewhere, so it's far more common to have partial truths in any given story. The objective is to determine which is which. It's the Turks that give Shrek his own origin story, as it happens. "Ogre" is a variant pronunciation of "Uyghur", and it WAS a fact that Turks would kidnap Christian boys, so coming up with a story that would rightfully scare the kids was actually useful for self-preservation. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I've not run across any verifiable accounts of how St. Nick was a Moor, actually; what I do know is that he was Byzantine and he served in the Ecumenical Councils held by the Pope. Byzantines were typically Romans, after all, since Constantine moved the entire Roman Empire government out to Constantinople when the Praetorian Guard got too far into determining who was emperor....and the Pope wasn't having that move, hence the Great Schism.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan I didn't say a word about race. I simply said that there were no Turks in the area until the 13th century. Nicholas was all 4th century, as you point out. I'm very familiar with Santa, as it happens, and still a believer in the REAL Santa.
npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Oh dear--St. Nicholas was not a Turk. That area wasn't Turkish until the 13th century. Sorry.

It makes the move official. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan Yes, that is unfortunate. Also unfortunate that they could put such research to dual use. npub16h384ypdv0glnayxmqu533mrd5ca7llmvxtt2kpaucahduav22rsstzsav Radio Free Trumpistan What took so damn long??
