The Oceangate
Titan may have only 24 hours of oxygen left assuming their submersible has not
imploded. It is looking very problematic for a rescue but it would be an astounding
feat if our military could pull this off. Durham is testifying before the House
with a bombshell that HRC approved the plan to falsely tie Trump to Russia
which plan the FBI was aware of but chose to ignore the warning (Trump still
won but how much more effective could he have been without the albatross of the
Mueller Investigation and the Steele dossier hanging over his head?). Death by
lethal injection may not be the painless easy method of execution it was once
thought to be and the chemical cocktail needed to stop the heart may at times
be hard to procure so Idaho is considering bringing back the firing squad as
the quickest and painless way to execute whether aimed at the heart or the
head. Rifles could be locked in place pre aimed without a human finger to the
triggers pull. “Lying” Adam Schiff became the 3rd Representative to
be censured by a vote of 213-209 with 6 Reds voting present and all Blues
voting against it (Schiff in bravado announced the censure is a badge of honor).
Canard Canales wins the Worst Father of the Year Award after telling his
pregnant 13 year old daughter she is worthless and should kill herself which
she tried to with slicing wrist and 14 Benadryl pills (this scumbag is in jail
on no bail facing 1 count of felony child abuse and 1 count of misdemeanor
probation violation).

Famous Quotes on the deaths of
Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner:
An unnamed Mississippi Official
( quoted by William Huie in Three Lives for
Mississippi): “Well, boys, you've done a good job. You've struck a blow for
the White Man. Mississippi can be proud of you. You've let these
agitatin' Outsiders know where this state stands. Go home now and forget
it. But before you go, I'm looking each one of you in the eye and telling
you this: the first man who talks is dead! If anybody who knows
anything about this ever opens his mouth to any Outsider about it, then the rest of us are
going to kill him just as dead as we killed those three sonsofbitches tonight. Does
everybody understand what I'm saying? The man who talks is dead, dead, dead!"
Rita Schwerner following
the discovery of the murdered bodies of Chaney, Goodman and Schwerner: “My
husband, Michael Schwerner, did not die in vain. If he and Andrew Goodman had
been Negroes, the world would have taken little notice of their deaths. After
all, the slaying of a Negro in Mississippi is not news. It is only because my
husband and Andrew Goodman were white that the national alarm has been sounded.”
Rita Bender, former wife of Michael
Schwerner on July 22, 2014: “We are hearing from the Supreme Court of the
United States, or several of its justices anyway, that we are really in a
post-racial America and we don’t need to talk about it anymoe. That same
Supreme Court is gutting the Voting Rights Act and doing away with efforts to
provide quality schooling to children of color. We have yet as a nation to come
to terms with the fact that this is a country that was built on racism and
continues to an appalling degree to thrive on racism.”
