I had a relatively painless preorder in person at GameStop. Didn't even have to show up too early. I was there about 45 minutes before opening and was 19th in line. The only thing I missed out on was the Pro Controller, but as of the time of this post, Target still has some available, so I...

The Pope died of a stroke... ...after trying to explain compassion to Vance. This is factually true. Make of it what you will.

This interview makes me glad I actually voted correctly for one person on November’s ballot (Senator Angus King of Maine)

And if the security detail assigned to those being arrested refuses to allow access?

The question is: "Who will enforce this?"

Can we please start impeachment proceedings? The GOP already in Congress need to realize that they are quickly becoming un-re-electable. They lost me; there must be tons of moderates that have vowed "never again."

The Verge has a pretty good summary on the lower value goods section: https://www.theverge.com/politics/646604/trump-tariffs-reciprocal-pause-canada-mexico-china-de-minimis The whole article is a pretty good explanation of the tariff situation as it currently stands (the key word being...

CNBC and others are now reporting the China tariffs are actually 145% because the original 125% reported did not include the existing 20% fentanyl penalty...

My voting mistake keeps on curb-stomping me as I try to atone for my sins. My wife and I both woke up out of our MAGA brainwashing, though our son and much of her family are still firmly indoctrinated. I've written email and left voicemail for our Senators, Angus King and Susan "Concerned"...

I’m going to say this once and then return to my indefinite hiatus: This is what I deserve for being a single issue voter. We are expecting things to get very bad here in Maine. I asked for it and therefore can’t blame anyone but myself. My kind and I did this to you all. I’m sorry about what’s...

I would never use a slur against another person. I was raised better than that. I also would never wish anyone dead for anything, let alone something as trivial as an opposing viewpoint. I said this over DM to Magnus when they reached out to me to apologize for what’s gone on in this thread...

I’m going to bow out of the Politics forum. I probably shouldn’t ever have come in here at all. This really isn’t a place for opposing viewpoints.
