Definitely old school.
The woke ones lacking souls will tend to piss her off.

My neighbor says, cut out the middleman and order direct for a better price.

I wonder if that's anything like "Abba-Jabba-Seven"?

The first example of catapulting plague victims into a besieged city was that of Caffa (Modern day Feodosia) in the Crimea. This was in fact the first account of plague in European history.

Caffa had been under siege by the Mongol (aka. Tartar or Golden Horde) army. The siege had been protracted. First starting in 1343, it was lifted by the arrival of Italian reinforcements in January 1344. The city was again under siege in 1345 however, a year later the Mongols started to die from a new disease - plague.The first example of catapulting plague victims into a besieged city was that of Caffa (Modern day Feodosia) in the Crimea.

Unsure what exactly it might be?
But looks like fun.

From the look of it, that humanoid would need a massive counterbalance to stand upright.
It would weigh a ton.

DO YOU EVER POST ANYTHING THAT IS not A fallacious argument?

Holy crap, dude. Are you actually sticking up for the Daily Beast?

Guess I need to add them to the list of allies you Uke Zelbots side with.

Biden, all the Dems & RINOs, Hollywood, MSM, Romney, Graham, Cheney, Schwab, Trudeau, Kissinger, the Vindmans, Boris Johnson, Hillary and Daily Beast.

Chechnya was once an oil producer and exporter before the Russians came to town.

Putin has promised Kadyrov to rebuild the Chechen oil industry and he can move up to the junior oligarch level by skimming right off the top!!!
But first, he must help in this time of Russian need.

On the question of fallacious arguments?

Would that be circular logic?

Why yes!
The TikTok Brigade would receive bazillions of views many possibly moving up to Junior Boyar 3rd Class.

If only they had some exciting videos to post of such an event.

I did not hear anything like that in the short video.
But I’m hearing impaired.

The Attitude-Reference Bombing System used in the F-4s was officially an AN/AJB-7. But that's hard to pronounce so we in the instrument shop who maintained it called it "Abba-Jabba-Seven".

Can you imagine taking her to dinner. You'd have to make sure the restaurant has the proper respectable at the table.

Yes. The Daily Beast is among the worst of the left wing propagandists. I guess next you will be posting from NPR and CNN. As long as they support your Ukraine nonsense.
