Not likely to happen when you have the large majority of the country supporting. Also our constitution states a limitation of a single 6 year term.

Too soon to dismiss the fickleness of the voting majority.

Bald Eagle Gets Trapped In Car, Becomes Perfect
Symbol For America in 2016:


"The bald eagle is a proud and noble creature that the United States
chose long ago to be its national symbol. But this particular bald eagle,
trapped in the grille of a car in Florida, has become a much more
appropriate symbol for America in 2016. Ladies and gentlemen, start
your meme engines."

See:

http://gizmodo.com/bald-eagle-gets-t...bol-1787575395


And the memes have already begun:

how the hell did get that much support?

your last president while no genius at least seem to have put the economy in the right track. And remain (outsider perceptive) relatively free of scandal, especially compare to his predecessors. So how the heck did you guys ended that guy as president?

"I will murder all the criminals!" is a very compelling rallying cry. The fact that carrying it out without due process means loss of innocent lives and cause abuse of the system, doesn't change the narrative being easy to understand.

For example, my home was broken into once. And back then I would certainly wish the burglar be drawn and quartered in a literal sense. To feel that you have been wronged by criminals can make one more receptive of violent retaliation. And this guy is having "revenge" as his platform. It is visceral and appealing.

Documentary Filmmaker Faces Up to 45 Years in Prison for Covering Pipeline Protest

Quote:
“Now here is the really bad news and this is why we need you to act right now. This afternoon she was escorted to the courthouse where she was charged with 3 Class A and C felony charges that carry 45 years maximum sentences combines. She has been charged with 2 Class A Felony Charges and 1 Class C Felony Charge; Conspiracy to theft of property, Conspiracy to theft of services, Conspiracy to tampering with or damaging a public service.”

While the activists who attempted to commit crimes are facing justice (regardless of the morality of their cause), charging the journalist with the same crime is insanity.

For simply covering reality, Schlosberg faces a maximum 45 years in prison. While we hope that the judge is reasonable enough to clear the woman of all charges, the fact that a journalist could face conspiracy charges and 45 years in prison is a daunting invasion on the freedom of speech.

It is disturbing to know that journalists are being arrested for merely being present and covering important issues like these protests. Schosberg should be freed immediately and cleared of all charges.
45 years for making a documentary about people protesting?

This would be standard news if it was happening in say Russia or China, but USA...

That's insane. Signed and shared the link. Whatever your politics, you should recognize the first amendment as one of the most wonderful things about America and protest about it being trampled on like this.

I hope whatever footage she taped before her arrest is released. That should help her cause.

Original video:



My face during her speech:

Then my face when they asked student who disagreed with her to actually apologize to her:

Thew only thing that makes this worse is that this speech was held in College campus... one of the temples of knowledge...

I am only glad that her suggestion was welcomed with so much laugh. But I have to wonder what kind of damage can this women do if she ever becomes some major figure in Government one day.. or have the same influence in it via third party means...

Also the fact that she says all that and use her smartphone after that...

Yep...and people wonder why natural scientists make fun of the humanities...

I would have taken the African Lightning Magic course, if it gave me credit towards physics.

But it probably shouldn't exist.

She'd probably be the first one to go to the doctor if she feels a bit of tummy ache, even though modern medicine is also a product of science. Hypocrisy at its finest right there.

As an actual scientist I say that mocking arts and humanitites is really misplaced...

This particular ban, targeting only men dressing as female characters but not vice-versa, is actually surprisingly common at cosplay events in Japan.
I find it actually ok.

Just imagine a guy cosplaying Tohsaka Rin with unshaven legs. ..

Well good news. The Male Crossplay ban has been reversed.
So go men and cosplay as the female characters you love!

Any male worth his salt cosplaying as Rin would be wearing epic Zettai Ryouki so you won't be seeing said unshaven legs.
