http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/355603-man-rescued-from-taliban-i-thought-my-captors-were-kidding-when

quote:

A Canadian man who was recently freed after being held in Afghanistan by Taliban-tied kidnappers for five years said he thought his captors were joking when they told him Donald Trump was president.
Joshua Boyle told The Toronto Star that one of the captors said Trump was elected president before he was forced to film a “proof-of-life” video.
“It didn’t enter my mind that he was being serious,” Boyle said.
The Boyles were kidnapped in 2012 and were held for five years before being rescued by Pakistani forces last week.
Boyle’s family — his American wife Caitlan Coleman and their three young children, who were all born in captivity — were rescued after U.S. intelligence directed Pakistani authorities to the family's location.
The family was in the trunk of a car when their kidnappers were caught in a shootout with Pakistani forces. The captors were all killed during the rescue.

lots of down time i guess

At some point, Trump is going to tell PR or California that they can “ask Hillary if they want relief funds so much” and his base will cheer until they’re hoarse.

Someone should propose an immigration exchange program wherein I can give up my spot in America to someone from Mexico in exchange for assistance moving to Canada.

I'm sure it would gain traction if you posed it as a means to export liberals.

how the gently caress do they have grocery stores open at 13% power unless it's only non perishables

Well-designed electrical grids will be designed in such a way that power can be quickly restored to specific priority locations. Hospitals are usually the first to get proper power restored even though they have generators, since there's a much more direct "no electricity -> dead people" correlation with that. I'd imagine grocery stores would also be prioritized for that, but then again not THAT many products in a grocery store strictly require electricity to maintain short-term either.

He wished it could be as respectable and orthodox as spying. But somehow in his hands the traditional tools and attitudes were always employed toward mean ends: cloak for a laundry sack, dagger to peel potatoes, dossiers to fill up dead Sunday afternoons ...
