     Did you know there are river dolphins that swim in cloudy water so they're almost blind? They couldn't use their eyes so they lost their vision. However, they didn't do it on porpoise.

Usually buried treasure is stored away from mass gatherings of people. And the route to it is normally not safe.

     If all I needed to do is look for an unsafe road to find treasure I'd be rich, or dead, or a river dolphin.

"Not tightly organized" is far from "imaginary." I suppose the website I linked was also imaginary. They also have a flag which isn't imaginary. I have heard they have "leaders" but I would imagine at this point it's just small groups, and they aren't going to advertise themselves openly so often.

If they do any organizing it could be ways like this:
https://www.facebook.com/antifaintl/

20,000 followers... so that's probably how you would sign up and coordinate for group activities.

Depends on how "not tightly," but you're focused on the wrong word. Antifa is an imaginary terrorist organization primarily because they don't do terrorism, not because of their state of disorganization. Occasionally doxing a Nazi or punching one in the face isn't terrorism.

That's why you use a map, if available, or explore on your own. It doesn't necessarily have to be dangerous but often can be.

Just look at all the dolphin tribes obsessing over a spoon or a coke can, thinking it's the treasure. Nah, don't think I'll take their advice.

Perceiving the world as only black and white is what children do.

And can't say I'm terrified, or that they are phantom...

Biden says Trump is America's first 'racist' president

Quote from: Senile Old ManWe've had racists, and they've existed, they've tried to get elected president. He's the first one that has.

Looks like Super-Creepy 46 failed history in high school and college.  That's unfortunate.

Wrong number. This is why it's not going to stick to JB — the creepy thing that is:

Oh, you think Trump will win reelection.  OK.  Good to know.

Meanwhile, on the local front:

Amid a tense meeting with protesters, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler tear-gassed by federal agents

Poor Ted.  He couldn't deal with the homeless crisis.  He couldn't deal with the cost of housing.  (To be fair, high home prices and high rental rates in Portland are the outcomes of conscious, exclusionary policy choices pursued by Metro.)  He can't strike a balance between protests and public safety.  No wonder he has to face a run-off for his shit job. 

I'm reminded of George Bluth's statement to Buster: "You were just a turd out there."

     You have to admit Super Creepy does have a little creepy in him, especially by contemporary standards. He's not a well wisher, though. Well wishing seems like a line unsafe to cross for a Presidential candidate. It goes to 11 on the creepy scale, right up there with the "hot daughter" or even beyond.

Very pretty to see someone who loves Dementia J. Trump worried about Biden's performance in history class.

     Michael Cohen to be released from prison after judge sides with claims of retaliation

     The treason of the judges continues. I can't say I'm ecstatic about judicial rescue. It shouldn't have come to that.
