Tall building bad because they are toxic masculinity or, more properly, 'upward-thrusting buildings ejaculating into the sky.' People seriously considering this and earn an income from writing about these 'problems.'

That's high on my list.  But can't we get Dave Noorie off C2C first?

Dude, it's the fucking Soroptomists.

Good grief!!!  It’s come to that has it?  It might be time to consider the nuclear option.

As predicted years ago. Now calls for the Jefferson Memorial to be torn down. And even from a Jefferson descendant who got brainwashed into the whole white guilt deal. Amazing times.

As expected Snyder caved to pressure from the mob.  To someone who has yet to get over the Washington Senators pulling up stakes and heading south to become the Texas Rangers, this is yet another kick to the groin.  No doubt Sammy Baugh and Sonny Jurgensen are spinning in their graves and the likes of John Riggens, Art Monk, Chris Hamburger, Larry Brown, Dave Butz, et al aren’t real happy about it either.

For now UT has not agreed to all the black players demands. "The Eyes of Texas" will continue to be the fight song but they are renaming the field Campbell-Williams which to me is ok. Why should such rich lawyer be the name despite all the $$$ he gave when they actually played on it. However, UT is not going to give money to BLM which was a player demand.
The Redskins thing is interesting. I guess the fight song needs to change. Originally, as I recall, "hail to the Redskins, hail victory, hail to the Redskins, fight for old Dixie" then they changed it to "fight for old D.C." but kept the problematic "hail victory," I can't seem to understand who else used that phrase. 

I also guess the Cowboys have won! Redskins exterminated!

I think they should do away with “Washington” as well. I suggest the “Federal Deficitâ,,¢️“

I think I, K_Dubb, etc need to start a BLM-esque movement protesting the Minnesota Vikings. A clearly racist cultural appropriation and stereotyping of the most vile kind. I demand reparations and some stuff painted on the streets. But in seriousness I don't see why Indians complain about some teams. Fighting Sioux? The Braves? Seminoles? I can see bitching about the Cleveland caricature or the term Redskins, I guess. But the others show the good side of Injuns: fighting spirit, bravery, etc.

Yes the image is highly offensive for its militaristic connotations and relentless heteronormativity.  We were poets, too!

You will be pleased to know that, before absconding to Portland where the spirit is far more chaotic, Trumpet Man set up a sign by his tent inviting any SPD officers to single combat.  There is apparently a law permitting this which, like our open-carry privileges, is undoubtedly a legacy of the Old West.

Mutually Agreed Combat! Holmgang! I hope some officer takes him up on it. Though a blow to the face might make trumpeting more difficult.
We, sorta, have a law but it is a negative, not positive, law only a possible defense. And participants can't even threaten bodily injury to use this defense.

They should go with something representative of D.C.  The Washington Swamp Creatures.

That take down was nicely done by the Arrow Man.   Looks like he has done it once or twice.   Amusing how all the other hoods backed the hell off and let the door opener to his fate.

Be sure and let me know how you and K_Dubb make out with that.  I'm developing a growing resentment of the Boston Celtic's crass commercial use of the name of an ethnic group that I in part descend from.  Furthermore, the team's adoption as a representative depiction the image of a height-stunted, anachronistically-clad, trickster known for hoarding gold, over-imbibing and maddeningly smug facial expression is an outrage.  Your success in redeeming the good name of your antecedents will be a major factor in determining my future course in this regard.

[Walks_At_Night]

Guess that begs the question.     Arrow Man vs Trumpet Man.        Who wins?

[K_Dubb]

Trumpet Man, obviously; he's got nerve and finesse for a sustained fight.  Notice how long Arrow Man had to calm down.  Those roided-up meatheads may come on like bulls but they're a hairsbreadth away from apoplexy.

I'm leading a protest against the cracker barrel store tomorrow. I mean, they would never dream of calling a store "nigger barrel". But Cracker Barrel is somehow alright?

Might I suggest you include the Unversity of Notre Dame in your lawsuit? The stereotype of Irishmen fighting has no place in a decent, caring society. Also my lawyer just said "Catholic Church, deep pockets and likes to settle cases" and then he made a rubbing thumb and fingers gesture. I think he is abandoning my case against the Vikings! Says "too cold, what do I need- lutefisk? Minneapolis has no money because riots."

Good point. I'm starting the ball rolling with the Celtics as follows:

"Recent action by the soon-to-be former Washington Redskins has brought to the surface a latent resentment I hold towards the Boston Celtics.   The Celtic's use for commercial purposes the name of an ethnic group from which I in-part descend and the team's adoption as  a symbolic representation of that group the image of an unusually short and anachronistically dressed  trickster known for hoarding gold, imbibery and a maddeningly smug facial expression is an outrage.  I'm calling on all those of Celtic heritage to join me in protesting this appropriation without permission or recompense of a proud name and insensitive associated imagery by writing a strongly worded letter threatening boycott to the NBA and Celtics ownership."

I'm thinking about a Go Fund Me appeal for the purpose of buying space in the NYT, WAPO and HUFFPOST for starters.

I think I will bring suit against the Kansas City Royals on behalf of all our British posters, but I get to keep half of Pud & Shreddie's shares of the loot.

This could be a welcome distraction and I suggest you contact that German-British Queen for support. She had batteries of lawyers and could officially throw the whole weight of the Bar behind it. It could take attention away from the Epstein stuff, some leaving the fold with a black actress, Princess Di's death, and the recent staff firings. Keep Pud & Shreddies portion as reparations for War of 1812 damages.

Indeed!  There’s a striking similarity between what’s going on today in this country and the Baader Meinhof/Red Army insurrections in West Germany and Italy In the 70s and 80s with respect to organization and MO.  It was all about stirring up dissatisfaction with political cultural and financial institutions with protest rallies and marches in the early days and rapidly escalated to large scale shootings and bombings.  The movement was loosely organized with few identified leaders and no clear statement of it’s demands or objectives just as ANTIFA and BLM are now.  I think the Country is in for a world of shit if it doesn’t soon recognize these groups for the terrorist threat they are and take effective action to wipe them out.

Wait a minute.  This amounts to making trial by combat and/or dueling legal.  I would be very surprised if that were true.

Keep in mind "tension strategies" are used by various groups. And not all is what is seems. Lots of useful idiots, lumpenprolitariat, proxy actions, and, dare-I-say false flags. P2, Gladio, Lowlands crime syndicates, etc. The Cold War was hot and things weren't always as seemed. Your examples are good. Note also how some BM/RAF morphed into Neo-NAZI even. And use of lawyers. Even better though to look to Turkey for even an internal issue in those times. "Grey Wolves" and what-not.  Where term 'deep state' was coined.

The Seattle law got a lot of discussion several years ago when a crime-fighting superhero appeared on the streets.  We are weirder than Portland, I don't care what they say.
