How easy is it for civilians to procure Thermite for the purpose of rendering fallen statues unrecognizable, in the event that they don't fold like Mr Gray here?

Well since it's powdered aluminum and rust, pretty easy.

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
People were saying earlier that Obama should make a speech in Charlottesville to calm everyone down since Trump clearly has no interest in being a leader, but I have a better idea... Obama and George W Bush make a joint appearance and each make a speech against hatred.

I mean, gently caress Bush and all, but I think that would send a hell of a message, much more than just Obama doing it.

A real hellraiser


Holy poo poo, walking around Amsterdam early morning so I can get some exercise without traffic, and a loving Russian started stalking me, yelling at me "What you don't support Trump?" and telling me about Charlottesville and how the antifa are "loving fascists". He followed me for about three blocks before I finally found and pointed to a CCTV camera. That was scary.

aside from that the other weird aspect of goonish sherman worship is that people don't credit him for being a skilled general so much as being a destroyer of property, which is by far the lesser of his accomplishments during the war

Sherman was effective. Which put him in the upper echelon among Union generals.

He also looked good in photos. Beyond that, he was a terrible loving person.

More fun Lincoln facts: He is beloved by the Deaf community in America for founding what is now known as Gallaudet University, the first and foremost college in the US focused on spreading American Sign Language, and providing higher education for Deaf students. The hands on the Lincoln Memorial are carved in the ASL letters A and L, for Abraham Lincoln's initials.

I am so sorry, you don't deserve this. Trump is really bolstering this weird kind of relationship with Russia that is inverse with the pattern of history, and no one knows how to function appropriately in it.

gently caress yeah, Durham. Make these "heritage" fuckers interested in voting to remove the statues, (so they can be put in a shame museum,) because otherwise they're going to be defaced, vandalized, and destroyed. They don't belong on our corners, and it's time to get them removed.

When Conservatives attempt humor, it's always painfully unfunny, with a signature blend of lazy and smug. Weird-Alt Yankovic would just be a guy playing a loop of someone else's accordion album in the background as he shouts "friend of the family!" over it for the first twenty seconds, then spends the next three minutes telling you how awesome he is for writing that song all by himself. Track 2 will be identical, except he's shouting "Fag!" now.

It would go at least gold, because that would trigger those fuckin' libs.

Charlottesville is all Donald had today, and he literally responded with "fake news" when asked what happened to the statement they said was supposed to happen today. With Donald it could be that there was never a statement to begin with, that it was a profoundly stupid statement that his aides talked him out of, or it could be that he straight up loving forgot or changed his mind on the most random whim.

If you ever get into a fight with a Russian shithead like that, you can always yell "bey fashistov", it means punch/kill fascists and it's a pretty well known phrase in Russia, stretching back the glorious war of the fatherland.

they'll just wait for the protests to die down and attention to go elsewhere then replace the statue at taxpayer expense

this sort of political vandalism is cathartic but it doesn't really change much without political change as well, which in the state of north carolina has been blocked for now by state government decree

i mean best case scenario durham parks department or whoever drags their feet on replacing the thing for years
