TIL that Douglas MacArthur was a descendant of Commodore Matthew Perry. I couldn't think of a clever joke about an gene that makes one an enemy of the Japanese.

Fanney Khan
Fanney Khan is a pretty simple action/drama movie. A young Mongolian/American woman with an interest in history discovers as a result of the intervention of an old, wise mentor character that she is the last living descendant of the Genghisid dynasty. She travels to the Kashmir region, and settles the India/Pakistan dispute by declaring the Kashmirid Khanate as an independent state. The locals are fully supportive of our protagonist, as they are allowed to live in peace under an iron-fisted, but fair Khatun.
When world leaders (all obligatorily portrayed as evil, old men) discover this, they conspire to destroy the
brutal authoritarian stateutopia that exists in Kashmir. The Khanate then invades the extremely aggravated nation of Pakistan, and succeeds against all odds as a result of Fabian tactics. The population is subjected to normal nomads-invading-settled-people assimilation tactics, slaughtering the men and absorbing the women and children, you know, normal stuff. After executing the high-ranking government officials, the new conquest is stabilized. They proceed by annihilating the Taliban and conquering Afghanistan, again, with much brutality.The Knanate's next move is to invade Iran, and with support from the Kurds and other Iranian heretics and persecuted minorities, they succeed in a dramatic scene that concludes the siege of Tehran. This move alienates Russia, who condemn the Khanate, but the brutal and fast conquest of Iran attracts the attention of the Saudis, who decide to send considerable amounts of money in support. Our heroine then invades Iraq and Syria, clearing those countries out quickly with her experienced and loyal army, aided by the allegiance of the Kurds whose independence she guaranteed in an autonomous Kurdistan province. By invading Assad-controlled Syria, our hubris-ridden hero officially poked the bear, and Putin declares war. The two armies meet on the battlefield of Idlib province, strangely accompanied by the two heads of state. It is then revealed that Fanny Khan and Putin secretly agreed to engage in single combat to resolve the war. The movie ends in a climactic Dune-esque scene where our protagonist kills her opponent, and is then declared Khan of Khans and finally brings peace to the Middle East by destroying the Sykes-Picot borders of her imperial provinces and sensibly re-arranging them.
And the whole time, Trump watched all of it on his giant evil White House surveillance screen.

This song is a perfect analogy for the election of Donald Trump.

ROFL.....His behaviour was just about that courtly TBH.
If he had really laid a hostile hand on her of course, that would pit the fat useless fucks in the secret service against our lads.....Which would be just about as fucking funny as something could possibly get (don't be fooled by the funny uniforms).
*unintelligible patriotic screeching about how the British underestimated the people in the colonies during the Revolutionary War too and something about freedom and then an eagle flies by*

Edit: I mentioned our resident Russian spies, but for the capitalist pigs, the title of the book reads "girl on the train".

With the exception of 1976, which was a year that pitted a Democrat from the Deep South vs a Republican from Michigan who was saddled with post-Watergate baggage, the South has pretty consistently gone red. The other exceptions predate Nixon and his Southern Strategy. Clinton, had some success grabbing some of the Southern states had the advantage of 1) being from the South, and 2) having Ross Perrot split off some of the electorate from Bush. In 1996, you can see that Clinton still was not able to win most of the South, with the notable exception of Florida.
Look at 1952 and 1956. All red except the deep South, which was Democrat. By 1964, its the total opposite, the map is a sea of blue other than the deep south. What was different about 1964? Well, republican candidate Barry Goldwater was opposed to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Clinton transitioned to getting more electoral votes from the south between 1992 and 1996, not less, and the Southern states that he won didn't vote less favorably for him, in fact they stayed the same and Louisiana voted more.
I think another notable exception is the 1968 election, where Nixon lost the South despite appealing to Southern racists so well. Texas even went blue! It seems to me in studying it that the 1964 election was due to Johnson's Great Society Act, and Southern states didn't like the idea of Government handouts, as well as the fact that it seems Goldwater was a fucking nutcase who couldn't campaign for shit. I think that the presidential elections were completely disconnected from the real political feeling and couldn't indicate a party switch because the Presidential campaigns are so much more dependent on the individual candidate than looking at the Congressional elections. The South kept voting Democrat in the House and Senate until the Republicans started gaining more ground in 1984, and not a majority until around 1996, though there were still a lot of Democrats being elected in the South even then.
Senate, 1976
House, 1976
Senate, 1984
House, 1984
Senate, 1996
House, 1996

Not sure i this is the exact right thread for this, but who in the hell is the face in this graffiti? A friend saw this and emailed it to me asking, and I have spent 2 weeks searching and not getting an answer. Google image search thins the first picture is just brickwork and the second one just gives the result "rock" with Wikipedia links to both the music genre and the geological rock.
Here is the face alone with only the black stenciled/drawn parts:

Trump has such great voodoo magic that he can randomly tweet out his campaign slogan and get 124,000 likes.
