Must be weird thinking emperor palpatine was the good guy
If these people could read ...
More specifically with his own sword after getting knocked out by a rock, but yes.
You got right to the problematic issue: "read". Reading is hard. Reading a long text is harder. Reading a very long text with complex meanings and referring to things outside the historical context of most readers, is very hard.
I've read the Bible. Twice. I don't think there is any action or concept by the current GOP where you won't find a sentence in the Bible that is actually condemning this precise move. They don't care, as they have never read it.
Setting tariffs without accompanying trade negotiations is like starting a fight with someone by shooting yourself, unless of course the goal is xenophobia and isolationism instead of equitable trade.
That's certainly the first word that comes to mind when you hear Canada; Unfair. How rude of us to bully America around like that.
If they read it, they would call the main character in part II "woke" and dismiss him as a "liberal."
And he wasn't even especially woke.
Read? They won't even touch it https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-inauguration-hand-bible-swearing-in/story?id=117897715

Fun fact: Humans are also susceptible to rocks.
I think Goliath was a "giant" in the same sense that an NBA player is a giant. Not like a mythical species in the Bible, just a genetic anomaly family that was crazy big and strong. Meanwhile, the average height was back then was much shorter than it is now.
So think of a fairly average but smallish guy beating up Shaq and I think that's what we are supposed to envision.
I don't know about that. Have you seen David!? He's 20 ft tall and made of pure marble! Just imagine what Goliath looked like!!

No. They don't.
They have co-opted something they are too dumb and lazy to even understand.
Any other questions?
This moron can't even decide if his name is Jack or John.
They do not.
They can only read at a 5th grade level. If stop signs didn't have a shape and color there would be mass casualties
