Let's say grace.

Thanks be to the coal company for providing this nutritious squirrel and ketchup soup dinner in my delightful corrugated shack.

I live in tobacco land but there's PRAY 4 COAL signs all over the place.

I saw a squirrel three weeks ago. The last time I saw one was over a year. There used to be a lot of them, then a few years back a father and son duo drove up next door and the kid was hanging out the window with a shotgun blasting squirrels out of trees. They both hopped out and kept going as the property owner came out of his house, threw a stuffed envelope in the truck, and went back inside. The retrievable squirrels went in the truck bed, but some still lingered in the limbs.

I miss squirrels. :(

Nowadays the neighbor kids have taken to shooting songbirds with pellet guns. Not to eat, as they're doing far better than anyone else in town financially and all, but just for something to do.

Trump's America :patriot:

MOSCOW — Shifting from his previous blanket denials, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia said on Thursday that “patriotically minded” private Russian hackers could have been involved in cyberattacks last year to help the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump.

This article is generating a lot of attention I think: http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/lo...m=.148c2598899a

I've shared several similar articles that explore "dying" American rural areas and I've felt a mix of disgust and pity for the people every time. This one I feel genuine sorry for. No idea how the hell you fix this. Hopefully one of the kids can break the cycle and get a half way decent job or something

Dying rural America?

As one of the non-military regulars in this thread, if I ever called any of my military friends or family heros, I believe I'd get laughed at so hard I might have to kill myself.

I wasn't keen to beat up on Hillary after the election but her forays into public life and laying blame are going to turn people off fast. She's a lightning rod for criticism and needs to excuse herself.

Plus the whole slavery angle that's bubbled up out of her book sure is... well, it's something alright.

You're talking about the prisoners being utilized as free domestic labor in the Arkansas governor's mansion, right?

E: I can't find a mainstream article covering the comment or the attending outrage but here's a write up on the beast, which was the least offensive of the first page of results.

That's the stuff. Also happens in the Louisiana governor's mansion.

lol the south

Speaking of,

In a military-styled order titled “Directive 02022017,” Michael Hill, president of the neo-Confederate League of the South (LOS), announced Friday the formation of a new vigilante “defense force.”

The League of the South is calling for all able-bodied, traditionalist Southern men to join our organization’s Southern Defense Force for the purpose of helping our State and local magistrates across Dixie combat this growing leftist menace to our historic Christian civilization. As private citizens in a private organization, we will stand ready to protect our own families and friends, our property, and our liberty from leftist chaos. Moreover, we will be ready to assist our local and State authorities in keeping the peace should they find it necessary to “deputize” private citizens for that purpose.

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), in a suit and tie, stopped by the crime scene to pray, and was viscerally angry about his colleagues being attacked.

“America has been divided,” he said, “and the center of America is disappearing, and the violence is appearing in the streets, and it’s coming from the left.” King indicated that it was impossible to separate the hyperpartisan climate in Washington — especially people protesting Trump — and Republican members of Congress being gunned down at a baseball practice.

“The divisions within the country, people that can’t accept the results of the election that are determined to try to take this country down, take this organization down,” King said. “This city was filled up with demonstrations the day after the inauguration, where you couldn’t drive down the streets.”
