Her behavior is a tribute to the greatness of this country. If she pulled this deal most other pkaces, she would be thrown off the top of a tall building or stoned to death.

This country is divided. We don't have much in common. Our lingua franca is English. But you could say the same about Rome with Latin. And look at what happened to them.

“We don’t have much in common.”

Less and less every day.

Rome was way more multicultural. It spanned the whole Mediterranean, all of Western Europe, the Levant, Egypt, the Balkans, Asia Minor, North Africa... Dozens of languages. The lingua franca was not really Latin. East of Tarentum the common tongue and trade language was Greek. Further East it was Aramaic. Elsewhere this was at least a dozen variants of vulgar Latin. And then there were religions.

Latin was an administrative, scholarly language, but even in this role it shared the space with Greek.
