Can't find a trace of what she said. I mean, I don't see any evidence, it's not like you don't have police beating up anti-Trump protesters.

If anything, she was consistently critical of the protesters on her twitter feed.

To lazy to travel back in time to the lax era when my ancestors migrated.

[Frumple]

I'unno, I'd probably not even want to go back to the lax era when my earliest ancestors migrated, personally. No interest in dealing with megafauna and subzero temperatures whilst armed, at best, with sticks. I mean... sure, the immigration paperwork and processing was literally nonexistent, because they probably didn't know how to read or write, and the existent government was something along the lines of entirely unmetaphorical large hungry bears. But you also got ate. Think that offsets the balance, a bit. The diseases and exposure and starvation... also bad! Monetary cost was zero, though. Don't think they had currency. Still. Sometimes laxity is less than positive.

God, why wouldn't you just invent gunpowder and airplanes?

Tfw you were born too late to take part in the tea race

Tfw you will never sell Ceylon's finest whilst dying of TB

Tfw you will never collaborate with whatever invader of the week arrives

Feels bad man

Too busy being eaten by giant bears, mostly. You have to admit it's fairly difficult to bootstrap millennia of technological progress while you're being eaten by a giant bear.

[mainiac]

Well just call the police on your cellphone.

[Amperzand]

Navigate to safety with GPS, it'll be fiiiine.

[Frumple]

The police were unfortunately eaten by mammoths. Don't ask how or why herbivores ate the policemen. No one knew, and you don't inquire as to further details from the man eating mammoths. The cell towers... we don't talk about what happened to the cell towers. There wasn't any reception. There was such a lack of reception it wouldn't come back until over ten thousand years later, and no one will ever find the archaeological evidence of those towers' existence.

Don't even ask about the GPS satellites. Those went earlier. You know that crater down in the lower americas? Yeah. They think it was a meteor, these days. In reality it's what happens when you compact an excessively redundant GPS satellite system into a ball and deorbit 'em.

Seriously, shit went down back in those days. Times were interesting in the most chinese of senses, which was doubly concerning considering china didn't yet exist.

[mainiac]

Well just climb in your SUV.  I dont think bears can get into those.  You really seem to be going out of your way to play the victim.

which was doubly concerning considering china didn't exist, yet.

Well it's not that weird seeing as that phrase was probably invented in the english speaking world.  As we learned from Stargate SG:1, they spoke english back in ancient egypt.

[Sheb]

I love when mainiac pretend to be annoying in one sentence, just to be genuinely annoying in the next.

[Frumple]

They were very big bears, m. The SUVs unfortunately didn't work. Seriously options were explored and then the options were eaten by bears. Turned out the sticks were the best way to survive. Less noise, less visible, etc. The bears don't eat you if they can't see you... usually, anyway.

[mainiac]

Thanks Obama!

Also the lack of doors and walls wouldn't help, I'm sure:
