Incidentally, the book is also available on Amazon, both on paper or Kindle - it's going to be next on my list. Thanks for posting this, Jolly.

Last time I was at my mum's I found a box of old stuff my dad had hidden away, medals and souvenirs and what-not, which contained quite a few letters from the front from my paternal great uncle from 1917, followed by a telegraph with his death notice and a lock of his hair (taken from before he died, obviously). I didn't have time to go through them, but I need to make sure either my brother or I rescue them.

Amsterdamers don't like racism.

Who knew?

I'm a little surprised nobody has compared the seriousness of the riots to the seasonal flu.

The flu will go away.

The riots, it doesn't look like it

I would hate to see him be governor, or even risk it, but I admit it would be quite a spectacle if he primaried Cuomo.

That’s an interesting black swan event. I wonder if plausible.

Zucker wants in on mayor NYC. Talk about a Tom Wolfe novel.

Yeah, her open secret identity that everybody on the DC party circuit knew.

Not all heroes wear capes 😂

Still think it goes back to the Resurrection.

But I'm open to a different view.

Didn't the NYC cops under Rudy arrest 700 protesters at one time?

Kinda hard to win, when the state party bails on you and puts up multiple challengers.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Susan Rice: "Maybe it's the Russians?":

Well, certainly, nothing says multi-billionaire George Soros like a pile of bricks.

Nothing says Soros quite like the organizations he funds.

These businesses (and friends of mine on social media)...I’m glad they’re against racial injustice. Were they not before?

Lemmings seeking catharsis.

I will consider believing that a Democrat gives a damn about black people when they stop leaving half the black babies conceived every year on an abortion room floor.

All for it. Timber prices have been down and I'd like to sell mine.

No idea of methodology, etc. Just citing what @jolly posted.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Six Down:

Yeah, this is really bad. We need people to calm TF down.

Explains the uptick in random acts of violence. Everyone's losing patience.

Five protesters are dead, many more in hospital. And then there's George Floyd.

And it won't stop until either A) the rioters get bored, or B) the cops are augmented by the National Guard and turned loose.
