I'd give anything to listen in on the call where Biden's people attempt to negotiate an interaction with Snoop Dogg.

Hairy Marionette posted:Sumeria was Gilgamesh and Enkidu, right? Those guys were all about wrestling and hunting and being buff and poo poo. I can see why is goons would be uncomfortable with that. I think that part about sex being so thematic is more likely to be the turn off if you want to stereotype goons like that.

Grondoth posted:I know we're all jokin' around here and preparing for disappointment but the mood is way different than that out there. Most people aren't Cool Zone chasers who relish burning cop cars(they actually see rioting, looting, and protesting as 3 separate things I think), but there's a real sense now that police brutality is a serious problem. Journalists are being deliberately targeted and attacked, there's videos everywhere of cops beating and pushing and arresting people for no reason, and in DC there's literally prison guards without any identification patrolling the city while the White House has miles of tall fencing around it. well also anything the House Dems pass will die in the Senate, so they're free to condemn whatever since don't have to worry about it actually becoming law

I'm very surprised that the guy became a Republican after the war and was an elector for Ulysses S Grant. Grant was hated throughout most of the South.

'Enough is enough': Thousands descend on D.C. for largest George Floyd protest yet politico.com/06/06/2020 05:06 PM EDT "Thousands of protesters gathered in Washington, D.C., on Saturday for its largest demonstration yet over George Floyd’s death in police custody, a capstone on a defining week for a city — and nation — that has grappled with widespread outrage over racial injustice, police brutality and the politics accompanying them. Demonstrators from about a dozen separate protests marched along normally bustling thoroughfares toward the White House through a large swath of downtown cordoned off by police, in what was D.C.'s largest assembled crowd since the Women's March against President Donald Trump after his inauguration in 2017. Officials expected the city to swell with some 100,000 to 200,000 protesters, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said at a news conference Friday. Protests began early Saturday afternoon near the U.S. Capitol and Lincoln Memorial before coming together near the White House." Not yet enough.

"But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me." the Lord whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you Never, ever, during your trials and testings. But, for the last time, I'm not going to watch you pee."

ahahaha there's so many lovely little monuments in that part of town, it was all developed in the late 1800s and early 1900s during the postwar population boom so it doesn't just have the big guys on Second Place Trophy Avenue, every little pocket park and green space has a solid chance for a small loser monument of its very own It seems that, having secured the doom of the level bosses, the people of Richmond have moved on to cleaning up the mooks Also people have been just tagging Confederate stuff with frowny faces and it is my favorite thing, it's just so incongruously silly and yet accurate!

He actually voted against secession, so I wouldn't consider him a traitor. In this case I honestly don't see why the statue should be removed since the guy wasn't a confederate at heart. He was a slave-owner, yes, but so was Washington and Jefferson.

That right there is grounds to shoot the man. Wickham was lawfully exchanged for one of his wife's cousins in the Union army, which fulfilled the conditions of his parole and allowed him to resume fighting. This was fairly routine for an officer of his rank. He seems to be relatively decent all things considered for the period, but that doesn't mean there should be a public statue for him in 2020. The Confederacy is ended, and it's well past time for the country to repudiate it in order to heal.
