One theory:

"The Br'er Rabbit stories can be traced back to trickster figures in Africa, particularly the hare that figures prominently in the storytelling traditions in West, Central, and Southern Africa. These tales continue to be part of the traditional folklore of numerous peoples throughout those regions. In the Akan traditions of West Africa, the trickster is usually the spider Anansi, though the plots in his tales are often identical with those of stories of Br'er Rabbit. However, Anansi does encounter a tricky rabbit called "Adanko" (Asante-Twi to mean "Hare") in some stories. The Jamaican character with the same name "Brer Rabbit", is an adaptation of the Ananse stories of the Akan people."

Let us know what you discover though.

I dunno in what world the two leaders who are constantly pro border patrol and poo poo are just pretending to only oppose Trump on a technicality more than anything.

I'm getting this feeling like Trump is finally running out of his ability to maintain any semblance of the (false) image which drew people to him, and his support will collapse any day now as people are finally forced to deal with what he actually is. And then I wake up. Anyway thanks for listening about my recurring dreams.

Return of the Mooch is imminent. Scaramucci Details Characteristics Needed To Be President’s Chief of Staff

quote:

When asked about what kind of personality and what kind of mindset a person would need to succeed at the job, Scaramucci said, “The president needs an honest broker. He needs somebody that's going to expand the access of the tent around him, because the president likes talking to a lot of people. The person should have an insecurity quotient of about zero. And frankly, somebody that can help him ring fence the legal situation, he would be better suited with somebody had a legal experience or legal mind, that that would be the the characteristics and qualities of somebody that I'd be looking for.”

I grew up not to far from this monstrosity, which matches that description perfectly.

Hyles Anderson College

quote:

There are separate requirements for male and female students for the same degree.[14] For example, the Bachelor of Science Degree program has a "Curriculum for Ladies" that requires classes including "Home Decorating," "Clothing Design" and "Understanding Your Husband."[14]

For school year 2010-2011, HAC's catalog listed policies that "maybe you wouldn't like," including prohibiting male long hair, the use of alcohol, cigarettes, dance, Hollywood movies, playing cards, having "fellowship with liberals," or participating in "other questionable amusements" as well as requiring "young ladies" to be chaperoned if they go off-campus

Yes, it is extremely rapey.

https://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/January-2013/Let-Us-Prey-Big-Trouble-at-First-Baptist-Church/

And while, yeah, this is Indiana, it's all in northwest Indiana - the church itself is in Hammond, really near the state line with Calumet City and near the southern border of Chicago. Crown Point, where the school is, used to be rural-ish, but now it, too, is about as suburban as you can get.

And despite growing up nearby, I never met a single person who went there. It's completely insular and cult-like.

He's literally the worst non fox news pundit I've ever seen and only seems to retain his position from having mastered the clickbait headline. I admit he's gotten me a couple times in the past with headlines that seem like something you really need to read and then a pile of just the most bleedingly obvious observations you can imagine. If Cilliza has thought of it theres a good chance so have you for a while now and in much deeper and greater detail.
