Just seconds after you asked this, I watched Game Grumps' 10 Minute Power Hour and Danny was wearing a Ghost shirt. So yes. I'd say they're mainstream.

Brits Call For Former Prime Minister TONY BLAIR To Be Tried As A War Criminal

^ I'm embarrassed now to admit that at the time I was one of many Brits who were deceived into accepting the official story about the cause of the Gulf War. :(

3 People Killed & Several Injured In Chicago Hospital Shooting

^ One small but chilling detail I noticed about the coverage of this killing was a reporter explaining how there were no scenes of people escaping the hospital:

"...it's a hospital facility... not a typical facility like a mall or a school...the people can't move."

So that's a thing now? A typical facility for a mass shooting: you know, just a routine school or mall shoot out, nothing special.

What are we hearing from the Strong-On-Crime Party? From Putin to Roy Moore and Kavanaugh, all we hear is the same feeble Trump bleat of "Well, he says he didn't do it." If ever I'm arrested in the USA I'm going to request that Trump be my interrogating officer.
^ I posted this during the Kavanaugh hearing but feel I should update it to include Crown Prince MBS as well.

The shooter was a dumped boyfriend, who after killing the woman that dumped him (an ER doc), started randomly firing at people and police vehicles. I'm thinking he figured his life was over after putting multiple rounds into her, so he got bloodthirsty. I don't think it's "A thing", but more of a coincidence that it happened at her place of employment, and she just happened to work at a hospital.

Oh good I was worried it was somebody who would be missed.

I bet the Sentinelese felt the same way when they were firing at him.

Shot through the heart and they're to blame.

I think all Nickelback fans are below average.
