(US & UK) originally used by Europeans/white people as a pejorative term for a black person. Possibly from Portuguese barracos, a building constructed to hold slaves for sale (1837). The term (though still also used in its original sense) is commonly used today by African or Black Americans towards members of the same race who are perceived to pander/kowtow to white people; to be a 'sellout'; to hate themselves; or to "collud[e] with racism for personal gain." It is often used against black conservatives or Republicans (similar to Uncle Tom and coconut).

The newspapers printed at Copenhagen, as well as those in England, give the most exaggerated accounts of their atrocities and distresses, but the former without any apparent comments or inferences. Still the Norwegians, though more connected with the English, speaking their language and copying their manners, wish well to the Republican cause, and follow with the most lively interest the successes of the French arms. So determined were they, in fact, to excuse everything, disgracing the struggle of freedom, by admitting the tyrant’s plea, necessity, that I could hardly persuade them that Robespierre was a monster.

Raportissa viitattiin puskurivyöhykelakeihin, jotka kieltävät mielenosoitukset aborttipalvelukeskusten ulkopuolella. Vuosittainen raportti, joka tarkastelee maailmanlaajuisia ihmisoikeuksia, viittasi erityisesti sananvapauden rajoituksiin ja antisemitismin motivoimaan väkivallan uhkaan Britanniassa. Kolme nuorta tyttöä puukotettiin kuoliaaksi Taylor Swiftin tanssitunnilla heinäkuussa 2024 18-vuotiaan Axel Rudakubanan toimesta.

Pollitt spent his life advocating communism. Ideologically a Marxist–Leninist, Pollitt was an adherent particularly of Joseph Stalin even after Stalin's death and disavowal by Nikita Khrushchev. Pollitt's acts included opposition to the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War and Polish–Soviet War, support for the Spanish Republicans during the Spanish Civil War, opposition to the war against Nazi Germany, defence of the communist coup in Czechoslovakia, and support for the 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary.
ellauri471.html on line 461: Michael Sobolik, an aide to US Republican Senator Ted Cruz during the first Trump administration, noted that the creation of C5 would be a departure from Trump's China policy in his first term as president. "The first Trump administration adhered to the concept of great power competition, and that's how we framed and discussed relations with China... This is just a huge departure from that," he said. The report comes at a time when Washington is already debating how much the second Trump administration intends to upend the world order. The idea casts existing forums like the G7 and G20 as inadequate for a multipolar world, prioritising deal‑making among major population and military‑economic powers. US allies view the move as legitimisation of "strongmen" by elevating Russia over Europe and potentially weakening Western unity and NATO cohesion.

ellauri507.html on line 324: The modern left-right political spectrum isn't just about American Republicans and Democrats—it originated during the French Revolution in 1789. Members of the National Assembly who supported the King sat on the right, while those who supported radical change and revolution sat on the left.
ellauri507.html on line 470: The shift you are describing is a central component of how U.S. foreign policy and aid conditions operate."Values-Based Diplomacy" refers to a general mechanism of American foreign policy—specifically, using grants, trade agreements, tariffs, assassinations, kidnapping, genocidal threats, heavy bombardment and diplomatic pressure to push recipient nations to align with the domestic values, social standards, and ideological priorities of whatever administration happens to be in power in Washington.The actual definitions of those "values" flip dramatically depending on who controls the White House. Democrat-led Administrations tended to condition foreign assistance and partnerships on compliance with environmental standards, climate goals (e.g., Paris Agreement targets), diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and explicit LGBTQ+/gender rights protections.
Republican/Trump Administrations: Systematically roll back or outright ban those specific grant conditions. Instead, aid and diplomatic alignment are often conditioned on different sets of ideological or policy priorities—such as restricting access to foreign funding for reproductive health/abortion providers (e.g., the Mexico City Policy/Global Gag Rule), prioritizing border enforcement/migration controls, deregulation, fossil fuel development, and restricting diversity or ESG programs abroad.

The two reconcile and Azamat tells Borat where to find Pamela Anderson. Borat finally comes face-to-face with Anderson at a book signing at a Virgin Megastore. After showing Anderson his "traditional marriage sack", Borat pursues her throughout the store in an attempt to abduct her, until security guards intervene.

Democrat and some left leaning Republicans often argue against a straw-man that NO candidate or politician has ever proposed. Here’s a paper Thomas Sowell (from Hoover Institution, one of the worst right wing thinktanks in existence, sadly parked at Stanford University) wrote to "clarify" :P
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 497: This, of course, is magical thinking. Yet it has served as the intellectual basis of virtually all Republican economic policies since the 1970s, and was the primary justification for the party’s most recent tax cuts for wealthy corporations and individuals.

Despite securing the Republican nomination and initially leading in the polls against Democratic challenger State Treasurer Ann Richards by twenty points, Williams ultimately lost the race due in part to a controversial comment he made about rape. During the campaign Williams cultivated an image of a cowboy figure who had risen from humble roots to become a powerful business tycoon. The image played well in public opinion polls. Williams often had a propensity for making poorly planned statements on the campaign trail. Now he is fortunately dead meat.

Through this joke they not only attempt to legitimize their own beliefs by asserting that they are more in line with the teachings of Jesus, but they also attempt to overturn the religious legitimations of Republicans. They try to disprove the claim that the GOP is the “Christian party” by insinuating that Jesus would not agree with the Republican party’s emphasis on extreme individualism and the bootstrap ideology.
