Not sure what the problem is myself, it's not like they didn't have a surplus of buttplugs on hand. 


Baffler: Nah, seems to be related to battery/UPS problems and their "IT guy" (David Fry) constantly resetting the feed because he thinks it's not streaming live. He also has this disconcerting habit of staring into the camera up close, as if he's expecting to see thousands of tiny people looking back.

At one point, he said "Is this live? Are we streaming? I don't think it's working...oh wait, no I just got a thumbs down, so we're live."
I LOL'd.

But then they would be full of shit.

We now return to your regularly-scheduled excavator digging and ranting rednecks.
EDIT: Apparently 4chan picked up wind of this and has been trolling the live chat hard. I've been laughing my ass off.

These imbecils cannot keep a stream going for more than a few minutes at a time. The last one cut off just when I cracked open a cold one.

[Shadowlord]

More sense than apparently digging a trench with a hill behind it.

(Did their batteries die, I wonder? :V)

So... in a moment of boredom we return to the old standby of deliberately misinterpret someone and then act [indignant].

Ehh? Not seeing any deliberate misinterpretation.

[RedKing]

Of course, I'm sure the militia types are blaming the outages on the government jamming their transmissions.

[mainiac]

Ehh? Not seeing any deliberate misinterpretation.

Just because Clinton said that reconstruction was a failure doesn't mean she meant it for the reasons the author projects onto her.  Someone who is actively hostile towards a person or a cause is a poor choice to guess what their beliefs are.

[SaberToothTiger]

It's hilarious.

[smjjames]

Someone on the chat over there said that the occupation people tweeted that it's over.

Maybe they meant the livestream, don't know, don't care.

[nenjin]

They probably mean the livestream. Either that or it's a dark day for AMERICAN PATRIOTS when FREEDOM is defeated by poor satellite reception.

[Rolan7]

The government probably used a cruise missile.  On the satellite, of course.

[Amperzand]

Remarkably, you can actually use ship-launched missiles to take out satellites.

...God, I'm ashamed to share a state with these guys.

538 (or at least the person who wrote the article) seems to think Trump skipping the debate is another sign that the GOP is failing, but nah, I think it's just Trump being Trump.

That The Onion worthy reply by the head of Fox (not Murdoch, forget the name offhand) certainly didn't help things though.

[RedKing]

It's back up. Again. For now.

What the hell, Youtube?  I refreshed the stream from before and it was down, but Youtube suggested a "LIVE NOW" stream, but that one wasn't live either...  In fact it claimed that the first one was live.

Basically it had me switching between two dead streams while claiming they were live, and neither was the link above which actually IS live.

Daaaaaamnit it just died again.

[smjjames]

Yeah, earthworks behind a hill. It doesn't take a stragetic genius to recognize that position is a horrible defensive position.....

editwhiletyping: Stream died...
