I just hope they vaccinate us by progressing the impeachment to its fullest conclusion and stop it ever happening again.

The rather camp named 'Proud Boys' is just one of those and I understand it's appeal has now expanded to some people from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Agreed, anyone studying contemporary languages, maths or any of the sciences would do well to study Latin. My 12 year old has chosen it for his 2nd foreign language from a choice between French, Spanish, Russian or Latin.Quote:

Combined with being able to identify quotations from obscure historical texts taught only in Private Schools, this is an excellent perpetuation of Class Division, both making them feel good about themselves and easily identifying their equals (very useful when it comes to hiring and promotion).

Giuliani being sued for £1.3bn. The legal profession will be very busy over the next decade dealing with Trump and associates.

Trump acquitted of Insurrection.
as expected, Trump Acquitted
Trump acquitted in impeachment trial; 7 GOP Senators vote with Democrats to convict (msn.com)
only 7 republicans voted with the democrats
As expected. Party politics over country yet again.
Expect Trump to start his re-election campaign pretty quickly now.
Expected but still ******* ****.
