Not sure why you're asking about tanks though.

If it turns out that Trump won via FSB hacking, and the Red Republican Congress refuses to admit it and will still consider him the legitimate President, Obama might have to need to pull out tanks and shoot the... how did you call it, Capitol Hill? Yeah, shoot it until the Congress surrenders.

That looks like an office building, not the dwelling of the head of state. Then again, Soviet archetectural tastes I guess.

Drones ain't nearly as photogenic, though.

Also, they're remotely controlled, which isn't good in a chaotic situation like that.

But really, it was the Spec Ops that have really took over the White House in Russia in 1993 (group "Alpha"), it'll be Spec Ops (SEALs, I guess?) that would take over the Capitol Hill in the end, too.

WHen will we have rocket-guided suicide drones capable of carrying heavier payloads than standard drones, with go-pros attached so we can watch the faces of the civilians terrorists that are about to blow up?

But honestly though, if there is something to this fraud, great for them to challenge it. If they're isn't, then good on them for double-checking in this close election cycle where the popular vote had such a wide margin compared to the electoral vote.

USSR was often called a country-wide corporation, so it makes sense for the political leadership to fit in an office block.

Soviet architecture was always kind of butt ugly though.

Except for the statues, the statues were p kawaii. Oddly enough the ones about lenin and stalin were always the ugliest ones.

I agree Olavo, sit on those trashy dweebs

I'm not one to question your taste for phallic architecture.

Especially not in the ameripol thread, politics thread for the land of the washington memorial, contender for the largest strongest dong erected for a dead man.

... that said, if there was actual solid evidence -- something that only the furthest right of right-wing nutjobs could deny with a straight face -- of foreign hackers swinging states, I'm about 80% sure what you would see would be a lot of very, very pissed off conservatives, never mind the rest of the country. Do remember that for all they've been kinda' shrugging at trump fellating russia, the GOP is still the party of nationalist xenophobes. They can doublethink their way through a lot but they'll also flip and start screaming for very literal murder at the drop of the right sort of hat.

On a side note, are there any tank divisions in close proximity to the... in what building does Congress do their deed?

Arlington, Virginia has always been described to me as the capital of the military to me, given that it has the Pentagon and military bases and DARPA and such, and Arlington is so close to DC it was actually the other part of the half-square DC forms. Regardless, violence at the capital seems unlikely.

Maybe someone will get beaten with a cane in congress again

B..but... It's too big! 

It's amazing how expensive a recount in a single state is, though not compared to the federal budget, but since a candidate has to pay for it...

Probably to dissuade candidates from demanding recounts every election in every state

I mean. The thing is isp you seem to be falling into that trap of thinking it was maybe somehow better in the years before. TV, radio, print media. Same things, even fewer upsides or ability to crosscheck et al, so forth, so on. If we're more asleep at the wheel than usual it's not by much, and the ability to move things in other directions is considerably more of a thing.

It's just, y'know. It's easier to see just how much of a thing it is, nowadays, and there's less filter/memory loss involved.

You didn't finish your vitamin e thing. A study testing whether excessive vitamin e does what?

[BorkBorkGoesTheCode]

What makes fivethirtyeight trustworthy? Where can I find the independent vetting?

[Max™]

Well hell, I recall hearing something about that but never quite knew just how far into quackland that multivitamin chugging was. Fuck, gotta tell the folks about that. Still a good reminder that alternative medicine would just be called medicine if it worked, though it did get rid of Jobs, shame it couldn't kill Apple too.

Ooh, wait, fucking Pence man... I gotta root for Trump to stay healthy because of that hateful piece of shit?
