Anime and literature don't go together. They are mutually exclusive. Anyone who claims to read but also likes anime is pretending they read. If you're on this board and you're an anime poster, you're a pseud poser who has never cracked open a book.

Are those parody accounts?

What is this a law?

>>16396966
No, its tradition. Plus, a "lame duck" president (a president on his/her way out of the White House) really doesn't have that much sway over things.

>>16396981
Is there anything actually stopping him from just appointing one?

Why would anybody mourn a psychopath who thought the constitution limited government too much? the last century showed its far too permissive if anything.

>>16396998
No nothing, >>16396981 is just a know nothing. Mcconnell already said he would hold a vote in the Senate for whoever trump picks.

>>16396966
>>16396981
this system is irreparably broken

>>16396998
Well, the President can't appoint a SC Justice. President Trump can nominate someone, but the Senate is the body that approves the candidate and actually makes them into a Supreme Court Justice. While the Republican Party has the votes to do so, it would be a violation of tradition. Senator McConnell, leader of the Republican Senators, has relied on this tradition in the past when President Obama nominated a justice in the twilight of his presidency, so it would be quite hypocritical for him to push someone through now.

Republicans have no excuse for allowing Roe v Wade to exist after this.

>>16397021
so only a lack of hypocrisy or sense of shame on the republicans part will stop them
hahahahahahahhahaha
ok got it

>An American ever being stopped by bad manners and hypocrisy

>>16397021
Mcconnell definitely doesn't care about being hypocritical. He is obviously not a sincere principled man. But the Dems only need a few republicans to deny the vote, which they will likely get if any republican senators are smart enough to realize it's a better move ethically and politically to refuse to appoint trump's nomination

>>16396858
baste

>>16397041
But it isn't a better move

>>16396966
No. The President is allowed to appoint a new SC justice as long as he is in office. The Constitution doesn't remove their power just because people dislike the President's ability to do such a thing.

Even RBG literally agreed with that.

>>16397021
Politicians are hypocrites. It wouldn't surprise me -- regardless if they're Dem or Rep -- to forego an ideal in the past to get someone they like in. Who cares about tradition, anyway; law is law. The President can do it and thus will.

Say goodbye to what's left of the endangered species act

Why do American leftists call themselves 'liberals' when they utterly despise liberty as a concept?

I mean, I can't deny that I guess. I get all my news from ABC/CBS on the TV. I can't see him winning though.

"A Hanfdful of Hard Men" by Hannes Wessels, a Rhodesian SAS veteran.

On Sunday, the following day in the resort town of Kariba, holidaymakers assembled at the small country airport and awaited their flight back to Salisbury. They had all enjoyed their time on the banks of the water wilderness. Some had fished, some had spent their time watching elephant on the islands and a lucky few had seen a lion-kill on the floodplain alongside the Umi River. They were tanned and happy and the war seemed a world away.

It was hot in the airport building and the men found themselves a cold beer in the bar and talked rugby and fishing. In the concourse children kicked balls and played. Then they heard the familiar drone of one of the ‘ladies’ of the local skies: the approach of the ageing but much-loved Vickers Viscount. As the engines wound down outside, the men took the last gulps from their glasses and made their way from the bar to the departure gate. Shimmering in the afternoon heat was the welcoming sight of the trusty aircraft in its shining silver and blue livery.

At the controls were the recently married Captain John Hood and his co-pilot Garth Beaumont. The passengers made their way to the aircraft and were met by two pretty, fresh-faced flight attendants with cheery smiles. In their simple lavender frocks, Dulcie Esterhuizen and Brenda Pearson stood at the top of the stairs and welcomed their guests aboard. Brenda was a much-loved member of the staff. Convent-educated, an excellent sportswoman with dark hair and lovely soft eyes, she was vivacious and seldom lost for a smile. She was also in love with SAS soldier ‘Spike’ Lemmer and looking forward to seeing him back in Salisbury.

Her parents were tobacco farmers in the Mtepetepa area of the remote north-east. Hanging on to their livelihoods with resolution, they were prospering in spite of being firmly in the firing line of the enemy campaign to kill or dislodge the entire white farming community. Her brother Ashley was with the SAS. As usual, she had no idea where in the world he was.

Ignoring the dangers, she had recently spent the weekend at home and had loved every minute of being back with her parents. It had been the normal routine: travel on the farm roads was done in a mine-protected vehicle, and weapons were carried at all times; at sunset ‘Agric-Alert’ calls were made on the local network, grenade screens checked, dogs sent outside and weapons readied.

Aboard the packed aircraft, passengers took their places while children bounded to the rear in search of the pre-flight treats they knew were hidden in the galley. Seated, the propellers began to whirl while the crew welcomed everyone aboard. Boisterous men pleaded with the girls to waste no time in rolling the drinks trolley down the aisle.

>>16397101
Captain Hood introduced himself, gave the flight details and asked his passengers to sit back and relax. Taxiing, he turned into a light breeze and halted, did his final checks then opened the throttles and released the brakes. Surging forward, the passengers watched the trees flash by as they gathered speed, felt the runway leave them, and then airborne, they said goodbye to the great lake below. As they banked over the basin, elephant and buffalo came into view on the shore but soon the animals were out of sight as the aircraft climbed and set course for Salisbury.

One of the first to get a drink was Robert Hargreaves who was sitting next to Shannon, his wife of one week. A vodka and tonic was quickly before him and he sat back to relax and savour a happy, recent memory. Beside him was the girl of his dreams. Meanwhile the two hostesses were moving quickly down the aisle, plying people with refreshments amid the banter and the thrum of the turbines.

Then, suddenly, there was a thunderous explosion and a burst of flame from one of the starboard engines as the plane lurched wildly, shuddered, swung violently around in the sky and dived towards the ground. Standing passengers and crew went crashing to the floor and screams reverberated around the cabin. One passenger tore out of his seat shouting for a fire extinguisher. The hostesses, bravely back on their feet, regained control and ordered everyone to their seats. Captain Hood told the passengers to brace themselves and prepare to crash. A mother, Sharon Cole, clutched her four-year-old daughter Tracy to her and said to the man sitting next to her, “I don’t care if I die but please get her out of here for me.” Tears streamed down her face.

Shannon Hargreaves remembers the soft, gentle voice of Dr Cecil MacLaren, a dental practitioner who had just completed a locum in Kariba. He said, “Shannon, I’m very sorry. Let’s just hold each other very tight.” And he pulled her towards him. The last transmission from Captain Hood heard by air-traffic controllers was, “I can’t … Mayday, Mayday, Air Rhodesia 825, I’ve lost both starboard engines, we’re going in.”

The two hostesses, stoic in the performance of their tasks, checked all passengers were belted and braced with heads between knees, prepared the doors and were last to their seats. Captain Hood’s final words were to his passengers were “… to be brave.”

With remarkable skill and accuracy he directed the doomed plane into a space in the trees, and but for an unseen ditch all may have survived but it was not to be. The aircraft ploughed into it and burst into flames, leaving a scalded path in its wake.

Buckled and burning, wings torn asunder, inside the cabin it was dark and momentarily quiet with most passengers dead, the survivors shocked and speechless. Then people started shouting. Both pilots were dead at their posts and the two hostesses were badly hurt.

>>16397102
>You will never be beaten up by a woman dressed in a skimpy bunny suit (hopefully cuddled afterwards)
Life is pain

>>16397107
Passengers Tony Hill and Hans Hansen kicked a hole in the side to make an exit. Then Tony, Hans and his wife Diana started moving people out, including one of the hostesses until the inferno made it impossible to continue. Within the fuselage passengers fought the flames with their hands. One woman sat helpless, holding her baby tight while her clothes burned before a hand came through a hole and grabbed the child.

Dr MacLaren found himself hanging upside down looking at the flames that threatened to engulf the plane. He tried a window but the handle snapped off in his hand. Struggling through the wreckage, he reached Sharon and Tracy Cole and along with the Hargreaves managed to exit the plane through a hole in the fuselage. Diana Hansen tried to comfort one of the hostesses who drifted in and out of consciousness.

Having exited the plane, the heat was stifling as Dr MacLaren left the crash site, leading a small party including Tracy and Sharon Cole along with the Hargreaves to look for water and seek help. Finding an African village, they requested assistance but received a hostile response. Whether through fear or malice the mood of the people was unsympathetic; however, they persisted and finally acquired some water.

Outside the wreckage a few sat silently trying to make sense of it all while terrified children clung to their parents. Some asked for water and bandages. Passenger Cynthia Tilley, who had just lost her fifteen-year-old brother when terrorists had attacked the family home, was one of the first to go to the aid of the survivors. At this stage, forty were dead with eighteen survivors. Those with broken limbs groaned in the fading light when suddenly the starboard wing exploded and smoke filled the air. Out of the haze appeared figures moving and hopes that these were friendly forces were quickly dashed when AK-wielding terrorists appeared.

They ordered the survivors forward following a warning burst of fire. Having struggled to the assembly point, the children embraced their parents in terrified silence beseeching the men with the guns through wide, innocent eyes to be merciful. They would be ignored. Those capable of standing were ordered into a row while the maimed lay on the ground. Satisfied all were in place the commander unclipped his ‘pig-sticker’ bayonet and addressed the condemned.

He was to the point: “You have stolen our land, you are white, now you must die.”

>>16397109
kek

>>16397115
With that the firing started and bullets tore into the bodies of the defenceless. With all prostrate and dead or writhing in pain, the commander ordered the firing to cease. In order to conserve ammunition he led his men onto the bodies with their bayonets fixed. Brenda Pearson was struck five times by bullets but lay there alive looking into the eyes of the man who stood over her with a blade glistening from the muzzle of his carbine. She looked for mercy but found none. She was white, she was to die. Seventeen thrusts from his bayonet ended a life which only moments ago seemed set so fair.

One little girl of four had escaped the firing unscathed. She was stabbed to death hanging on to her dead father’s leg. Then it all went very quiet. Behind the smoke-filled sky, beyond the woodland silhouette, the sun moved to set in a blaze of orange, closing out the final day for the victims and ending another violent day in a troubled land on a turbulent continent.

Hiding a short distance away in horrified silence was Dr MacLaren’s group. The killing over, the ZIPRA men came looking and the survivors trembled at the sound of the stomp of heavy boots as the terrorists scoured the bush in search of them.

MacLaren kept little Tracy close to his chest. One noise from the child would have given their position away and meant death. The four-year-old held still within metres of the killers as they came in close, shouting to them to show themselves immediately. All this time, unbeknown to MacLaren’s party, Tony Hill, another survivor who had escaped through the flames earlier, was also in hiding not far from them. He had armed himself with a rock and was going to go down fighting if discovered. Mercifully, they all remained unseen. Finally the killers left.

In Salisbury relatives and friends waiting at the airport were told to go home. SAS CO Colonel Garth Barrett was relaxing at home when he received a call advising that a Viscount was “missing.” He was instructed to prepare a reaction team. Quickly assembling twenty men including doctors, he was ready to move but with darkness approaching the men would have to wait till dawn.

>>16397123
Watt recalls the day of the downing. “I’ll never forget. We were in our barracks when we were told a plane had gone missing. At first I thought they must be talking about a military aircraft then discovered it was an Air Rhodesia Viscount with a full complement of passengers and crew. I felt a shudder run through my nervous system. I had no idea then what lay ahead, but the events and the images that confronted me that day are burned into my memory.”

Near the crash site, dressed in her white cotton dress Tracy Cole slept through the night on MacLaren’s chest. Through the hours of darkness the good doctor and his wards shivered in silent fear while he talked their spirits up with constant encouragement. “It was the longest and most terrifying night of my life,” he recalls. Eventually bright sunlight greeted them but with it sheer terror at the thought of being discovered.

But help was trying to reach them. Airborne from New Sarum before first light, the Dakota with the SAS contingent aboard was flying a grid-pattern. “The pilots were trying to plot the search area looking at the aircraft’s projected line of flight and the estimated time after take-off when last contact was made. Part of the problem was that no one had any idea how far the captain had kept the aircraft aloft after losing his engines so there was a lot of guesswork going on,” remembers Watt.

“We sat at the doors and windows straining our eyes to see what we didn’t want to see: the smouldering wreckage of a downed civilian airliner. I knew that was the reality but it did not stop me hoping for a miracle. Of no help was the turbulence which was unrelenting and many of the troops were sick. We flew for what seemed like forever. Tracts of the area were unpopulated wilderness but the rest was Tribal Trust Land which was fairly heavily settled. Most of the dwellings were thatch but not all, some were tin and the flash of metal in the bright sun kept catching my eye and every time I hoped I had them visual it was not to be. I was feeling very frustrated when suddenly someone shouted and the plane banked sharply. There below were the unmistakable blue lines on silver of the Air Rhodesia livery and I knew we had found Viscount Hunyani. It was hot and I could see the heat waves distorting the light off the mangled fuselage.

“The wind outside was blowing too strongly and normally we would not have jumped in those conditions but this was different. I watched the dispatcher and soon we were in a tight orbit over her. Hooked up, the CO Garth Barrett was out first. As I flung myself out the door I knew I was in for a difficult landing with the wind gusting as it was and I landed awkwardly, almost on the fuselage, breaking a bone in my foot. Having dumped my chute and checked to see if all the rest of my blokes were on the ground, we started looking.

>>16397109

>>16397128
“The medics rushed to see who was dead and who was alive. Then my eyes filled with the worst sight any civilised man could be asked to bear. Death was not new to me; I had been involved in it for a long time but nothing I had seen or done prepared for me what was in front of me. I think it was the dead children that destroyed me emotionally.

“Then I heard a soft voice and looked into the bush. Out of it appeared a pretty lady, naked but for her underwear, covered in blood and dirt but she forced a nervous smile as our eyes met. ‘You can’t believe how pleased we are to see you,’ she said. It turned out to be Mrs Hansen. I said, ‘How can I help you, ma’am?’ and went to comfort her.

“She explained that she wanted to look for her wedding rings. Fearing the ‘terrs’ would cut off her fingers to steal them, she had taken them off and lost them. I went with her husband Hans and found them.

“Then I returned to the accident scene and all was silent. The dead were grey from all the ash that had settled on them. None of the men were talking. They were hardened soldiers but were standing around looking broken. We were all in a bad way seeing our countrymen and -women slain in this fashion.”

Sergeant Phil Cripps remembers: “On the tip of the port wing lay something that looked like a baby doll lying on its back. On closer inspection I saw it was a human baby with dried blood leading out of its mouth. In front of the same wing was a black shoe with a foot still in it. The shoe was of the black leather type worn by pilots at the time. I looked into the beautiful face of Brenda Pearson and recognised her as the girl who had been with us in the Winged Stagger the weekend before.”74

“I struggled then as I still do now to come to terms with the mentality of the people who did this,” says Watt. “I could not stop looking at the pretty little girl who could not have been more than four years old. She was wearing a pink summer frock and her hair was still in two plaits. Her eyes were open almost as if in disbelief at what was happening to her. She was lying on her side with her arms clutched tight around her father’s leg.

Next to her were her mother and her brother in the same position. I struggled to control myself. Just who could find their way to kill innocent holidaymakers with their children after they had survived a plane crash left me lost. Some of the dead were not even from Rhodesia. And the people who had done this did so with the support of the churches, the missionaries and the leaders of the Western world. It was a moment of despair in my life.

>>16397133
“The choppers came in with more troops. I did a check and found the tracks but we were refused permission to follow; another tracker team was to come in and do the follow-up. I was very upset; I know I would have got them, even with a broken foot, but we were told we had other tasks to attend to. I’ll never stop thinking about that day and will always regret the fact that I never got to go after them. If there is a hell they deserve a place in it.”

Dr MacLaren’s group of five had remained in their hiding place in the riverbed until after ten o’clock in the morning when they saw the search aircraft loaded with paratroopers but their frantic waves went unseen. Emboldened by the sight of help at hand, they moved out of their hideout with MacLaren in the lead, heading for where he thought they would eventually cross the main Kariba road. With the Hargreaves’ bare feet cut and bleeding, Tracy in his arms and sullen locals glowering, it was not a happy party. Having walked close to fifteen kilometres, they were rescued by a police Land Rover before being placed in an air force helicopter and flown to Karoi.

The night following discovery of the wreckage a coded message was received by an SAS call sign on a harassing mission in Zambia. It was to tell one of the operators to stand by for uplift in the morning. Flight lieutenant ‘Bud’ Cockroft arrived at first light to recover Ashley Pearson. On his return to base, Captain Martin Pearse had the unpleasant task of telling the young trooper that his sister had been murdered. With the family unable to face the horror of bearing witness to her mutilated body, they turned to Ron Reid-Daly, an old family friend, and asked him to do the identification and certification.

Actually all the neocon federalist society types that Trump is putting on the court are ok with massively expanding the power of the executive so all you got to do is vote for a hard left president and they can just by fiat initiate socialism by declaring everything a national emergency.

>>16397138
Back in London, on news of the atrocity, Dr Owen was asked to comment. He expressed reluctance to do so while awaiting confirmation as to the identity of the perpetrators. He was holding out the possibility the Rhodesians had shot their own aircraft down then bayoneted the survivors to death. He refused to condemn the obvious and never did. It was an awkward situation in which he again found himself: the killers had acted on behalf of a leader who the British government refused to criticise.

In a BBC interview, Joshua Nkomo, the ZIPRA leader, after admitting responsibility for the atrocity, laughed awkwardly. The British press, in the main relentlessly critical of the Rhodesian stand were somewhat lost for words and unsure how to spin this woeful story out without being too critical of the culprits and their supporters. The mindset of the Fleet-Street men sent to report on the war is well summed up by one of their doyens. Writes Sir Max Hastings in his memoirs, “I felt not the smallest sympathy for the Salisbury regime. Ian Smith and his cohorts were near-fascists committed to … suppression of the black majority by ruthless use of force.”

Rhodesia mourned and listened in sombre silence to the sermon delivered by the Very Reverend John da Costa, the Anglican Dean of Salisbury at a memorial service for the victims attended by the prime minister, service chiefs and most of his cabinet. Explaining that the enormity of the crime and the desultory response from the leaders of the civilised world compelled him to break with diocesan protocol and venture into territory that bordered on the political, he said, “… times come when it is necessary to speak out” against “murder of the most savage and treacherous sort.”

He went on to say: “This bestiality, worse than anything in recent history, stinks in the nostrils of Heaven. The ghastliness of this ill-fated flight from Kariba will be burned upon our memories for years to come. Nobody who holds sacred the dignity of human life can be anything but sickened at the events attending the crash of the Viscount Hunyani. The horror of the crash was bad enough, but that this should have been compounded by the murder of the most savage and treacherous sort leaves us stunned with disbelief and brings revulsion in the minds of anyone deserving the name ‘human’.

>>16397052
There's broadly two different types of liberals and they're distinguished by their conception of what freedom or liberty is. The classical liberals of the sort who founded the country were more concerned with freedom from interference while the modern progressive liberal is concerned with the freedom or ability to do something. A classical liberal is free to drive to the park so long as the government doesn't put up an roadblocks, while a progressive is only free to drive to the park if he actually owns a car.

>>16397194

Eh, it really isnt. THe thing about american edgucation is that it is very decentalised. Teachers almost alwaysmake up 90 percent of their own curriculum and only have to touch on a few common things for state mandated testing. Because of this It can be anywhere from really good, some of the best, when you have a really motivated teacher, school, and student base, who dont have to be constrained. To really ass bad, with an uninterested teacher, poor af school, and shitty little inner city retard-kids.

Alao, people in general are pessimistic and got out of it what they put in, so that scews things to the negative. I personally know I had a great public school, but some people in my grade said it was ass even though like 80% of the teachers were great and were willing to outstretch a hand if they werent such bitches and refused it.

Yeah, this is true. I lived in a Democratic state where schools actually received adequate funding and my education there was good, not great but acceptable. Then I moved to a Republican state where schools are all underfunded because no one wants to pay taxes and the school was a joke. Students there were years behind the students at my previous school.

He is highly principled on this issue, as his public statement clearly evidences. That being said, given the egregious offensiveness of the Democrat cabal during the Kavanaugh hearing, McConnell would be perfectly within his rights to chuck any principles, and fight fire with fire.

He will not however. It is the Democrats who have been the party of war and destruction -- before the Civil War, during the Civil War, after the Civil War, in the 1960s, and today with the Democrat-backed Antifa firebugs incendiaries/insurrectionists.

I don't think he's being hypocritical at all. He said this is what's going to happen if Democrats break with tradition and here we are.

Democrats don't get to talk about principles when they turned the Supreme Court that was originally conceived to be the weakest branch of government, into one of those powerful positions in the country by essentially turning it into a legislative body. They created a federal right to an abortion from nothing and it is breaking the government.

No he's not. I don't talk about Marbury v Madison therefore I don't know about it? Then he posts with his Tumblr anime shit, proving he's a faggot.

Yes this is exactly what I am saying. What's with the vitriol cause of the Anime. It's just cartoons son no need for the anger

The defect here is thinking Trump will automatically nominate an ideologist judge and not one capable of doing their job impartial legal devision maker. Neal Gorsuch, let us not forget, broke the even vote in favor of delegalizing employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, through a clever and ingenious interpretation of the gender discrimination law. (Discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation is discriminating on the basis of gender, because it is based on the gender of the subjects involved.)

These uncultured faggots will never end to dump their temporary views on a literature board. Honestly, though, who could expect more from burgers. They are incapable of higher culture.
