Very excited to watch this "Jessie Owens" track phenom in his world debut

Oh you know why

Jesus! So sinister watching these soldiers spontaneously boo elected politicians. I disagree with Aaron here: they were *not* goaded into booing, at all. These are the folks who will happily back autogolpe 2 and whatever else the dictator commands along the way.
