Must be some American Democrat campaign consultants running amok over there planting their seeds of destruction... look at this... sounds just like the crap we have here:

“staging”

The perfect word to describe the election process in a Worker’s Paradise like the Congo. It would apply in Kalifornia as well.

Yeah. You know. Africa. White or black rhino. ‘The gods must be crazy’.

Range of these large nasty herbivores? Beats me. I know of extant rhinos in India and SE Asia too. With armor no less.

Woolly rhinos in Europe into the late Pleistocene. And some early species in North America.

Still not sure if or why they stamp out fires as in ‘The gods Must Be Crazy’. Funny movie.

No need to go to all that trouble. Just hire Brenda Snipes. I hear she’s looking for a job.

"..Did a Rhinoceros stamp out the fire??.."

It's an interesting psychological phenomenon..

Watched that again a coupla days ago at hunt camp. Great pair of relatively unknown movies! d;^)

We watch movies in our hunting camp too. Back in the 80s we had no cable there but we did have an old color tv and a vcr. Watched stupid movies like The Toxic Avenger and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Also some good movies. But the chatter and the shot or two of Jim Beam in the evenings made concentrating on films difficult at best.

Recently we have added WiFi and cable.

Worth watching again, 36 years later. Fwiw, a group of rhinos are referred to as a “crash “

I thought a group of rhinos is referred to as a “senate”.

Look at what the philanthropists have wrought. Now, there’s some irony.

Belgium must be good for something, but as bringers of civilization they did a lousy job. Indeed, Belgians were the only colonizers who joined the locals in cannibalism.

Without the machines, perhaps an honest election
