Special forces capture the World's Greatest Terrorist

It's true: A guilty dog cannot look its master in the eye. How human. (Well, I mean "human" for non-sociopaths. Candace Owens can stare you right in the eyes while lying.)

Weird: All-time pin-up Betty Page dancing to "Goodbye Horses."

We were close, so close, to a 100% week. Sad!

Those smiles are going to turn into rictuses of terror in about 3 seconds, when that penguin unleashes its runny, mephitic projectile, and all its fellow terrorists (visible in the background) also unleash their projectile TOT (Time On Target) barrage.

23 The flesh of sea-fowl is generally too rancid to find much favour with fastidious palates. Sailors indeed eat the livers and hearts of the penguins, which are exceedingly palatable, but the black flesh of the body is rank and oily, and has rather a perfumed taste. Some voyagers, however, tell us, that eaten in ragouts, they are good as that made from a hare.

30 Lower depths beat me to it. Funny, euro-lookin' service rifles. But the (old) US helmets and camo. Argentine or Chilean troops I'd guess.

Not on the Falklands. I believe there was some dispute over that a few years back and the argies lost it.

Plenty of coastal territory in both Argentina and Chile for such a photo location.

41 in the Falklands the Brits and the Argies used FN-FAL rifles, but the Argies used mostly US equipment, with some national stuff added in, and Israeli anoraks.

I think they are Argie troops, but that is because of the woodland pattern to the helmet covers with the tire rubber tie.

I know the new map got tossed because Virginian Dems did not follow the required legal procedure...

The idea that a simply majority can lock the minority out of government is a great way to enslave the minority. Then the rulers can splinter off a chunk of their majority and vote again to lock them out. Rinse repeat.

IIRC - There were three.

The original 'clot shot' was the J&J. It was quickly discontinued.

There was also Moderna and Pfizer.
Both of those had endless 'boosters'

For whatever reason J&J as one and done. Even the Junta didn't push for follow-up boosters while hounding Moderna and Pfizer.

I didn't track it too closely though as I was in a relatively free state during those dark days.

"In the mind of Bronson Bernard certain basic tenets had been implanted by his teachers at every stage from grammar school through college, and nothing was ever going to shake them. The United States of America was no damned good. Its ideals were a mockery. Its history was a fraud. Its purposes were corrupt. Its achievements were empty. Its hopes were a sham, and its dreams were a lie. Whatever good might have come from it here and there over the years - and that was precious little - had been entirely inadvertent and accidental. It was sinister, hypocritical, imperialistic, racist, worthless and cruel."

179 We don’t win back our nation by bugging out.

We win by staying.

I love where I live. I’m not leaving.

180 >>This. Louisville has gone fucking bug nuts.

The reason the south is still a stronghold for us is not because southerner's are universally conservative. Has anyone been to Atlanta recently?

Leftists infest cities and where their demographics overwhelm rural areas they win. It's not difficult, look election results. The idea that the south is some bulwark against leftism is ridiculous.

It's always been urban against rural. Even in the south.

Lexington is not 'bad' but it has a couple loopy areas. It is almost all suburbs.

182 Well, yes. You’re making my point. “America” is not simply an “idea”, as they often claim. They flip their argument depending, they want to confuse people, muddy the water, to make it look deep. It is a “people”; real live human beings, and - as you note, they want to kill you. They want to kill the idea too, I suppose.

That’s where all this “we’re a nation of immigrants!” business derives, I suppose. A “living, breathing constitution” with “emanations and penumbras” etc.

183 And judging by the bumper stickers I live in a library area. Of course, a lot of cars and trucks don't have bumper stickers.

184 Yeah, thats what I meant, phone. Just one big library.

Liberal.

The NE are liberal blue states. That's undeniable.
