Apparently there are snipers on the roof of the State Capital right now.

(115,761 posts)he's probably the father as well as the brother. The one on the left is just a cousin and a brother so he doesn't look as much like the other two.

(2,360 posts)Thats where the term came from; inbreeding royals, etc, resulting in genetic issues like haemophelia.
Tutankhamen, for instance, was a complete wreck. They're not sure he could even walk. and his teeth in the resonstructions really do remind me of the Hapsbiurg jaw.

(2,360 posts)Of our gene pool could definitely use a little (or a lot, depending on your point of view) of bleach, seeing these guys as prime, inbred examples. 😂
That IS a joke/sarcasm, for those who read shit too literally.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,371 posts)gone boating or fishing on weekends and hunting in the UP every fall.
Now they are pissed that a large, multi-national screwed them out of a decent living and they want to (edit here to say "Convinced to) blame brown people for their lot in life.
Or a woman governor, whichever comes first.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,371 posts)the Michael Moore film "Roger and Me" came out shortly after I moved to the Detroit area, and it tells an accurate story.
General Motors moved activity from perfectly well functioning and profitable plants in Flint and elsewhere to Mexico so that they could go from a $55/hr wage and bennie package to a $12 one.
And these asshole want to blame the Mexican workers for it! As if it was their fault! (I'm being rhetorical, but I am sure, not inaccurate)
To modify an old political saying;
No one ever lost a demographic underestimating the stupidity of offended white people
volstork
(5,403 posts)LBJ (who had his own issues, to be sure) said it best:
If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,371 posts)Ford, GM and Chrysler seemed to have been very adept at pitting the black and white factory workers against each other over the years, in spite of the UAW's efforts to the contrary.
There is a very good reason "8 Mile Road" is famous.
Anyway.....fuck those fascist assholes. They deserve what they have coming to them

(47,520 posts)what goes on in their little brains, but there is something about the way some families raise boys in our society that needs to be addressed. Far too many mindless extremists and a lot of them are heavily armed.

(5,403 posts)We certainly haven't cornered the market on rednecks here in the south.....
llmart
(15,542 posts)I moved from the South to Michigan and my new next door neighbors asked me what I missed about N. Carolina. I listed a bunch of things and then added, "but I won't miss the rednecks". They were both Michiganders from birth and said to me, "Oh, you just wait until you get up beyond the tri-county area of the lower peninsula. We've got our own special kind of rednecks." That was before the Oklahoma bombing.
The gun culture and rednecks here are much worse than I ever experienced in N. Carolina.
volstork
(5,403 posts)that was my first realization that rednecks are everywhere.
I was a much younger person when that episode happened and I always look back at it now and think of how naive I was to think the redneck personality was only in the South. Now that I'm older and have lived in four different states I realize how prejudiced my remark was. As an aside, my next door neighbors were a lesbian couple and after I got to know them better they would open up to me about how they were treated by some of the neighbors. They were considerably older than me and didn't live next door for long.
