Happy New Civil War Day! Alex Jones sort of blew our cover the other day, announcing that all of us Leftist Antifa Democrats were set to launch the civil war today.
I’m still stuck at home loading my vast arsenal of guns — mostly squirt and potato — and also I kind of slept late but I trust that the new civil war is going swimmingly out there. I mean, I haven’t seen anything on the news about it but I’m assuming that’s because you all are as stealthy as ninjas. HAIL VICTORY! I’ll return to regular posting tomorrow after we’ve won the war.
On Twitter, someone recommended making barricades out of Hillary Clinton’s emails, because conservatives can never get over them.
@Chimericmind: Yeah those articles are hilarious!
I’m getting that too.
It’s a testament to how screwed up the world is that there even is such an error code.
I had to call in sick to the Second Civil War. Went back to work Monday post vacation. Had to get husband to pick me up after two hours because I was alternately lying on the bathroom floor and puking. Apparently wrenched my back while puking.
All of this has somewhat affected my ability to be civil, but if there’s an uncivil war, I am ready to go.
Dang it, I knew there was something I forgot to do yesterday. Launch civil war. That was it.
Apologies from the Australian leftie civil war contingent, everyone. Due to the timezones we started our uprising a day early as it was the 4th here yesterday.
Spent the day roaming around wondering where everyone was.
Bit embarrassing, but I’m sure we’ll get it right next time. Maybe if we ask nicely, Mr Alex Jones will include international date information?

There are some pretty good letters between Sir William Waller and his friend Sir Ralph Hopton who were generals on opposing sides of the first English Civil War. Even as they were leading armies directly against eachother they were exchanging friendly letters.
They weren’t going to let a political disagreement ruin their friendship….
I’m embarrassed to say I know very little about Frederick Douglass; but he was a fugitive slave and anti-slavery activist (as you might well be).
This though is an extract from a speech he made on 4 July 1852. It just struck me as relevant to that argument that, if only people were nicer to the bigots, they’d be more open to persuasion.
What if they held a Civil War and nobody came?
Alex Jone would take credit and encourage people to buy dodgy food supplements to keep it from happening again, again.
I signed up to volunteer for the 3rd Libtard Mechanized Division but never got called. I feel miffed.
Just a random Fredderick Douglass fact, that came to mind reading the quote above. His amazing career was almost cut short. He had a personal invitation to join the Harpers Ferry raid. Luckily chose to pass.
Noteworthy that the quote illustrates how old Concern Trolling is.
Frederick Douglass has done an amazing job, and is being recognized more and more.
Man, Alex Jones is just turning into one of those apocalypse preachers more all the time.

Holy hell, no depths too low for these scumbags.

It’s a deliberate statement about censorship. Although I don’t know if The Hour are in on it, as their error message doesn’t include the recommended “blocked by” header to explain who’s blocking them.
Yuup. The EU decided it would be wise to force platforms like Google to pay news sites for the ‘privilege’ of providing free traffic to these news sites in the form of links. Also if any of you guys wanted to quote a small piece of a news article of interest here, either David would have to censor your entire post or he’s on the hook for either a license fee or face a fine so huge this site would disappear.
Also ANY derivative work at all would be strictly forbidden. If anyone here were to post a caption on a picture of a cat, then David is guilty of a crime and would have to pay a fine.
So a lot of sites simply chose not to broadcast in the EU.
At least I think that’s how it went down.
@ j
Don’t worry Euromammoths, our cat picture posting privileges remain intact.
Oi you got a license for that feline m8?
@ j
I got a black and white cat because the licence was cheaper. 🙂
You remember that Trump has on multiple occasions maligned London Mayor Sadiq Khan?
And remember that there’s that big baby Trump balloon?
Well guess whose permission you’d need if you wanted to fly that over London?

Fred Clark is long-enamoured of Fredrick Douglass. On his July 4th post, Talk About Your Revolution, he closed it off with:
Looks like someone’s taken my reaction to the news: https://twitter.com/Nati2de/status/1014586315042672640

Speaking of escaped slaves, are you familiar with William Peyton Hubbard? He was the son of escaped slaves from the United States who became one of Toronto’s most beloved public officials in the 19th century until his death in 1935. He lead the charge to have the utilities made public and worked on a committee for the city’s poor.
His old house still stands on Broadview near Danforth and he rests a mere stone’s throw from William Lyon Mackenzie at the Toronto Necropolis. Snapped a photo of his headstone while I was there.
I bring him up because a recent Twitter spat had some jackass decrying the fact that BLM Toronto received the William P. Hubbard Award for Race Relations. I was like “Dude, don’t even know who that even was, do you?”
