If there was a civil war and the boers lost they could still incinerate the victors.

A conservative-leaning columnist visited a bunch of white South Africans during the '80s and came away basically ready to run guns to the Zulus so they could Isandlwana again but with automatic weapons.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Keith Olbermann confidently retires with an article proclaiming that there's no way the Trump presidency will survive past early 2018.

Why I Think Trump Is Finished (And My Work Is Done)
After 187 episodes—and nearly half a billion views—Keith Olbermann signs off.


BY KEITH OLBERMANN
November 28, 2017

I am confident now, even more so than I have been throughout the last year, that this nightmare presidency of Donald John Trump will end prematurely—and end soon. And I am thus also confident that this is the correct moment to end this series of commentaries.

The important stuff first.

There are seven routes in front of Trump. Each, inevitably, ends in his impeachment or resignation.
The 7 are
-Mueller makes a deal with Flynn and proves a Trump-Russia collaboration
-Mueller gets Trump et. al. on obstruction of justice and is impeached and removed
-Trump resigns or is sold out by people who have dirt on him
-Republicans impeach of remove Trump to save their own asses
-25th amendment
-Democrats win the house in midterms and sway 25 Republican votes in the Senate
-Sexual assault victim comes forward with tangible evidence

quote:

even freight trains rushing at him. He might avoid a few. He might avoid six of them. He’s not going to dance his way out from under all seven. And we, I think, should try to put ourselves in the mindset of those Americans who knew Richard Nixon was guilty-as-hell after John Dean finished testifying on June 27, 1973 but were left wondering if there would ever be a way to prove it, and were left listening to a majority of the country saying Dean was lying, and were left watching nearly the entirety of the gullible news media saying this was nonsense: ‘Why would a president, even one as crazy as Nixon, ever do this, and more importantly even if he were somehow guilty how would he ever be dumb enough to leave any evidence of his guilt?’ And 16 days later it turned out virtually everything in the Oval Office had been taped and the ballgame was over even though it would last another 13 months.

Well this ballgame is also over. And I don’t think it’s going to last another 13 months.

And so this series is over.

my favorite was him, on his show Conspiracy Theory, angrily shaking the chain link gate at the HAARP facility, screaming into the intercom that he's a veteran navy seal and former governor and demanding to be let in. the person on the intercom calmly and politely told him that the facility wasn't staffed for tours and that he was welcome at the annual open house event.

The Nepali Army refused to support the monarchy because it was unwilling to take up arms against its own civilians, saying it was "a police matter," so the monarchists had to make an armed police force ala the US.

The PRC armed the monarchists to help them suppress the Maoists.

i always figured that was everyone involved agreeing on a convenient lie because whoever killed him is high enough up in the line of succession that whatever conspiracy theories come from the cover-up are way less harmful than the inevitable "killed the crown prince to assume the throne himself" conspiracy theory that would surely have arisen if all the facts were known

several of the people who complained it were also examined and diagnosed with light brain damage as a result of exposure to it. i don't think crickets cause brain damage so it raises the question of whether the government just made that poo poo up or a few cuban embassy workers all just happen to have brain damage for some reason.

They made up the brain damage because they were embarrassed they made such a fuss about crickets.
