yeah i adore the "arabs are always late" jokes.

Especially since it's in regards to a rough ridin' national revolution. I mean that's just fantastic.

Yeah. Juxtaposing it with the rape dynamic is wild.

If you can't joke about your own revolt, what can you joke about?

They love trials. Love them. It's their bread and butter.

Lol. There's currently a new rumor that Morsi is heading to Venezuela. Cars are driving around the streets with loudspeakers blaring the popular opposition news channels. And rough ridin' vuvuzelas everywhere.

Morsi aides are now writing GPC-style "this is my last post" rants on official Facebook page. So rough ridin' unreal.

Also, side street off tahrir near the embassy. It's like this everywhere.

felix rex · « **Reply #1261 on:** July 03, 2013, 10:50:19 AM »

The area in downtown is deafening, like a never ending loop of BSFS when Arthur picked off RGIII.

felix rex · « **Reply #1262 on:** July 03, 2013, 10:52:30 AM »

There's a military chopper over tahrir that just stopped over the middle of the crowd and tipped over a bit before flying off. Crowd says its a sign, goes apeshit.

Sorry (not really) cRustyMichMichiCat, the whole situation with the U.S. puppet in Egypt now offering up constituational amendments on Facebook is hilarious . . . the signs are hilarious . . . particularly as they're painted on the canvas of the U.S. demands from several years ago.

No. Just somewhere a little less crowded.

Fergal Keane BBC News tweets: The last time an army overthrew a democratically elected Islamist party we had the murderous Algerian civil war. Egypt dynamics are different but there is huge danger that if coup reports are true, it will lead to extremist backlash.

See, this seems extreme, but we're talking about secularists vs. fundamentalists, right? I mean, hey, this is within the realm of possibility, right?

lol at hauling in tanks on a truck. just ruins the moment when your tanks roll in, on a truck, then you have to unload them, then they roll in some more on their own.
