What does a BIDEN Presidency look like?

[viper37]

It didn't collapse so much as faded away. Literally in the East.

Ok but it still ceased to exist at some eventual point in history, I hope we agree on that much.

Anyhow, I have long forgotten what my original point was, I am dead tired from work, had my second AZ shot this morning, and have drunk some beer. Move on.

Yeah I think we can all agree it does not currently exist

I feel like its final death knell was the rise of national identities in Europe. Eventually a Roman identity came to be an Italian Nationalist thing (or an Orthodox Christian nationalist thing on the other end).

476 is an arbitrary date chosen because Rome, the city, fell in that year, and the Roman Emperor was deposed and replaced by a non Roman citizen who made itself Emperor of Rome.  But we can all agree that by that time, there wasn't much of the Western Empire left, it was a long process and it continued for some time.  I would put the definite end at the beginning of the 7th century when the Western Roman Senate ceased to exist entirely.  Even though it's influence had waned since the end of the Republic, imho, that was the last vestige of the Western Roman Empire.

After that, many people may have claimed to be Roman, the new Rome, the 3rd Rome, etc, but it was just a way to use the prestige of the name.  Russia's only ink to Rome was a Tsar marrying the niece of the Byzantine Emperor.

Agreed--What can be seen to have collapsed is rule in the West by an Emperor seated at Rome who, through loyal subordinates administered the vast reaches of the Empire, supported and hosted legions that served said Emperor and etc.

Most of the "successor" Kingdoms of Western European peoples went through a long period in which they used rhetoric and systems that continued right on from the time of the "centrally controlled" Western Empire and they just gradually fractured into different systems and traditions until eventually the "conception" of being Roman died too.

The Georgia psycho chick apologizes for the Holocaust comment.

I honestly think this is about the slowest coming political apology i can remember.

How is it possible that anyone can compare the Holocaust with mask mandates?

By that measure it collapsed a lot earlier; that doesn't really describe the empire at any point after the 2nd century.

Everything gets compared to the Holocaust. Even stuff that is supposed to save lives.

Speaking of Nazi analogies, Biden is the American Konrad Adenauer.

Or possibly Hermann Müller.

The Senate has unanimously agreed to make Juneteenth a federal holiday.

I guess Strom Thurmond is really gone.

According to Wiki, he is indeed gone.

The Senate has unanimously agreed to make Juneteenth a federal holiday.

And yet, too late for it to give us all a day off this year.

Well, he did run for President in 1948. However, it's said the dark side may lead to abilities many consider unnatural...

Well it is a Saturday this year anyway.

The day the Federal Government made Texas stop it's bullshit.
