For the 1st time since 1946 someone in the UK has been charged with treason. The last was Lord Haw-haw (who broadcast for the Nazis) who ended up at the end of a rope.

The death penality is no-longer on the cards, but this guy was arrested on the grounds of Windsor castle with a crossbow and evil intent. Technically 'having a weapon with intent to "alarm her Majesty" under Britain's Treason Act'. It was Christmas day and the Queen was there.

Zawahiri got obliterated by the knife missile.

quote:

Social media images of the strike pointed to the hallmarks of a modified Hellfire called the R9X with six blades to damage targets, sources familiar with the weapon said. It is largely aimed at individual targets, such as militants in Syria.

The images showed windows destroyed on the second floor while the structure of the house remained intact despite being hit by Hellfires.

So there's one big election result to pay attention to tonight. Abortion is currently legal in Kansas by judicial review of the constitution and pro-lifers want to change the constitution directly (YES result = abortion illegal) (NO result = abortion stays legal).

Early NO votes are way higher than expected, but it's all early voting blue areas currently in. Early rurals are also very weak YES. Early hope for at least SOMETHING good today.

So this is really one of those things to be celebrated - Republicans put this poo poo on the ballot in a primary specifically to kill abortion in Kansas and thought it was a slam dunk. Instead, the state simply voted harder. Turnout was projected at 38% and is instead probably going to hit 50%. People that push "vote harder" are big, dumb idiots, but some situations *do* call for voting harder.

Granted, a lot of these NO voters are going to be solid-red in the general because... voters. But Democrats need to immediately loving realize just what the gently caress happened and run on this poo poo nationwide.

Isn't that margin of victory pretty close to the nationwide percentages on legal abortion? I want to say I'm surprised by the result but I'm really not. I drive 70 across Kansas all the time and there have been Yes signs every 30 feet for months but it's just the normal thing you see in rural areas all the time. There have been anti abortion signs along highways through rural areas for as long as I can remember but it's obviously not the majority opinion any more.
