You might get your wish. (apologies for the source.)

This is the part where you realize that you just cited INFOWARS unironically.  Next you take a moment to assess the mistakes that brought you to this point, right?  Right?

You laugh now, but when the revolution comes, you'll be the first against the barn door with the pitchfork to your head. Or maybe the buggy-whip.

It might even be fine until the swamp boys catch it >_>

Which would be, what, you?

lol

[Frumple]

man, the agrarian revolution comes along and I'll be going deeper into the swamp, not out of it

it'd be safer where they can't don't want to find you.

[wierd]

I dunno... depending, they might just find it to be "fine indeed."

(shudder)

Mainiac: I already said "only the more axe-grindery news rags are giving it recent coverage"-- When presented with a choice of bad sources, I picked at random. The boston Herald isnt exactly the Times you know, but it was the best one I could find.

Evidently the issue that will be most important to us is the presidential stance on shitposting.

[wierd]

There's not a topic more dear to our dark little hearts, excepting perhaps their stance on dwarf murder.

We should talk about how the real Hillary Clinton died of radiation poisoning last year and the "Hillary" we see is clearly some sort of double or simulacrum. Naturally the mainstream news outlets won't report on this, but that just shows that they're afraid of the truth.

[wierd]

Naw, a plastic clinton is a prettier clinton. The public will prefer it. No conspiracy there.

(and that thread's premise is absurd. 1) unless she was gargling ocean water right outside the reactor, she wont get that kind of radiation, certainly not here in the US. 2) When if ever did she come into contact with the reactor to be poisoned by it? 3) The background radiation in that district is lower than that in the chernobyl exclusion zone, and people can have passing contact with that latter and not have lethal radiation poisoning-- 4) clearly those people are idiots that dont understand how radiation sickness happens.)

When presented with a choice of bad sources

Dude, if this were true it would be international news.  People in China would know about it.  Why would something so important attract so little coverage?  Look at that Boston Herald article.  It says that according to a former US attorney something is going to happen.  It presents no evidence whatsoever.  It's the opinion of somebody not remotely related to the case who is using the same info the rest of us are...

As I see it there are two different possibilities:
A) This source is legit and for some reason he decided to give his scoop to a legal columnist for the Boston Herald instead of... y'know one of a hundred political reporters for the Post, Times, Fox, CNN or AP.  Meanwhile the Democratic party, which vetted Clinton on this months ago, has decided to stand like a frozen deer in the middle of a railroad.
B) A beat reporter wrote a lazy "he said, she said" story which implies things but makes no promises.  A former US attorney assumed that people he didn't know would think the same way he did.

Pfft...you do realize I grew up in dairy farm country, not Raleigh, right? (I think MSH is from Raleigh originally.)
Plus, I left the city about a year and a half ago, live in rural Orange County now.

Other Options:

C) The story is less interesting to the public at large than the on-going general election, and gets de-prioritized (people are pretty tired of hearing more about the damned email scandal.)
D) Whooooo conspiracy (For completeness only.)

I am implying that it is C-- You are implying that it is B.

Neither of us are implying A or D.

[mainiac]

I am implying that it is C-- You are implying that it is B.

I'm flat out telling you C is impossible.  D is more likely then C.

[smjjames]

Haven't the FBI been saying that they're ready to indict for a while now anyway? A few weeks anyhow.

It's complicated. I only started living in Raleigh proper during high school, before that I spent most of my childhood in Knightdale, but I was actually born in Fayettenam.
