Something tells even Harney County won't be that patient.

Anyone who thinks a Registered Republican pulling a publicity stunt on global media isn't one of the tails wagging the 2016 dog hasn't been in politics long enough to know what a ratfuck feels like.

These guys are doing the writing for them. All NBC has to do is have a 90-minute live-feed from the cowliphate, and watch the comedy roll in.

This story keeps changing and evolving by the hour.
Hell, I'll even help with the casting:

Randy Quaid as Ammo N. Bundy
John Goodman as Fluffy Eunuch-Corn

There were a couple others floating around that I can't remember right now, though I think one was a pun on "Taliban".

There are diamonds, gold and apparently uranium that is worth a lot more than gold, around extinct small volcanoes or vents. There are craters and butts all over the area.

The real ISIS murdered hundreds of people in the last 24 hours, no comparison.

I honestly don't have a problem with them being just a lot of noise. The weather is pretty cold and it will eventually drive them away.

27. Registered Republican pulling a publicity stunt on global media

Not so global, this is not newsworthy enough to be broadcast. The BBC has a small item hidden away on its America and Canada webpage but that's about it. And even then I had to hunt it out.

If it was not for DU I would be completely unaware of this.

Scraping up and flattening the surface could render enough soil for an assay. Then a federal solar field could be placed at the site if there is nothing under it (like copper or uranium).

This is another third way issue. There has been no shooting.

the immature and ignorant, we still need to take this seriously. Kpete has another one that we can look at that clearly shows the difference between right wing 'protests' and true populist (left wing) protests. Consider the blood, pepper spray and physical force used in the occupy movement as well as in Ferguson, and then look at the bottom right corner of the picture.

Basically, like the Wiemar Republic, the United States seems to either wink or turn a blind eye to the right wingers when they act militantly, but be on the left wing advocating something that will actually make peoples' lives better...and it's bloody truncheon city.

Think about that for a minute and allow the anger to flow through you. Now channel that anger into making sure you're registered to vote in the primary or caucus in your state, and then SHOW UP. Its the only way we can get rid of the bullshit and take back what is ours - which is OUR government that is supposed to be OF, BY and FOR us, the people.
