Oh God, we are going to find out Pelosi is the only western leader that has never said a bad word about Assad, she's going to live forever. Even Assad will eventually die becuase in a moment of self doubt he questioned himself.
It was nice knowing you comrade May you Rest In Peace :kim-salute:
even Assad will eventually die
Comrade, seek shelter immediately. You can't be saying these things!
hard-line Arab country: Syria, Lebanon, Libya when Gaddafi was alive
soft, good, compliant Arab country: Actual monarchy terrorist sponsor Saudi Arabia
They had to throw Arab in there to designate them as truly bad. It was following 9/11, so any Middle Eastern country was implicated (other than Saudi Arabia ironically).
I love how neolib slurs just make the enemy look very slightly badass
just like neolib calls to emergency just make the situation look like we spilled some milk or stepped in a puddle
If it helps, the probably mean "hard-line, Arab country" but were treating "Arab country" as a noun phrase of its own, hence the lack of a comma separating adjectives. That is to say, I don't think they were trying to describe it as being "hard-line Arab", but it's a bit of a Freudian slip.
Just my guess.
Are commas commonly removed in headlines or did they just make a typo?
Just a typo or grammatical error. Commas are favored in headlines, especially as a substitute for conjunctions. For example: "Landlords, corporate reps to appeal repatriation at court" saves space by replacing "and" with just a comma. I made that up but you can see examples going through any newspaper, especially physical ones.
Especially back when you had to literally cast the headlines in lead.
It really wouldn't make sense to throw commas out for headlines. The whole point of a headline is to communicate clearly and concisely!
holy shit the 4d chess tho, she's been planning this for years
i take back anything i ever said about her being senile
:assad-pogger: is skinnier which in combination with being tall makes you longer, sorry :maduro-gift:
She's only mentioning him secondarily... Is that the secret? Does the curse only work if Assad is addressed directly?
Always wonder what they're talking about in these things.
"I know you want me dead, but here's the thing..."
Dude this photo is from the best part of 20 years ago and she already looks fucking ancient. These ghouls really just live forever.
Can you even begin to fathom the depths of God's dread at the prospect of Nancy Pelosi joining Him?
