Mask completely off now. It’s good old Ethnic Cleansing time, with our full and enthusiastic support.

Yeah but not officially. Putin is a “strong leader” not a “dictator”

I’m not so sure China will be on their side.

The most concerning part is that there’s a large part of the population that reads “Obama acts like a weak woman” and thinks “Wowww what a sick burn. This guy must be hyper intelligent and a great leader of men.”

And there it is. Embedding proprietary foreign software you have no control over on all levels of your infrastructure. Now you’re screwed.

Depends on a lot of things but for deep focus I like the X3:TC soundtrack

If she’s 17 now she hasn’t aged a bit in the last 7 years, impressive. (picture from another thread)

Any word yet on what the joystick tech will be? Mouse operation is all very interesting but drift is my main concern for the new joycons.

I mean a lot of terminology you can argue about but forcefully removing an certain ethnic group from their home region so another group can take over, that’s pretty much the textbook definition.

Don’t worry soon there won’t be any more environmental regulations.

Nice

That and it’s more convenient scapegoating of “those dang foreigners”.

I think the point is not so much that the US should be giving more, but that Trump’s constant complaining the the world owes the US and that the US is the only country so overburdened by spending on foreign aid is bullshit.

Also, I don’t think per capita expenditures automatically increase for smaller populations.

In a democracy, when you’re not in power what do you do to get that power back? You show the electorate that you’re fighting for what they think is important. If Democrats absolutely insist on business as usual, promoting corporate interests and occasionally pausing to shout “fascist” at Trump, all the while just plain ignoring people’s actual concerns we’re going to lose the next election and the next one.

Do you think a large majority of Trump voters (not the vocal, terminally online ones) are actively hoping for an end to democracy? No, they’re just misled by someone who pretends to be on their side. And to turn the tide we need them back on our side. You think they’re going to be convinced by us shouting “fascist” at them? Obviously not. So what’s your plan to control the narrative?

Trump has a plan. Unlike the tone deaf democrats who even now don’t seem to be able to present a message that normal people are interested in. They’re seen mostly as defenders of the status quo. The status quo that forces folks to work 3 jobs to make rent, then Trump comes along and shouts “death to the status quo”. Just repeatedly shouting back “Trump is evil” isn’t going to cut it.

Well… I’ll allow a sharp rock but only hand chipped.

Great to see our representatives finally focusing on the real issues in these difficult times.

Can’t stomach McFarlane unfortunately. I’m told it gets better later on but his sense of humor is just like nails on a chalkboard to me. Couldn’t get myself to finish the first season.

I’d support a “you can eat all the meat you can catch and kill with your bare hands” diet.

Say what you want about TOS, it’s campy and silly but it’s not boring.
