    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Unfortunately it's amazing what that can do for a party's polling. The conservative party here had a number of terrible leaders and polled poorly until they got in their current leader, who manages to have an air of respectability about him. Now they poll well, indications that the new leader...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Only an hour and a half after the mass shooting before everyone is asked to move on with their lives and stop going on about it. Amazing.

    Transformers: Heavy Metal canceled

    A bit sad but not surprised about this. I'm in one of the countries where they were testing the game, and it had some really nice features. The character designs and animations were fantastic and I liked the chat feature where you'd get into a conversation with the Autobots you were working with...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Here in New Zealand, everyone has roundly expressed disapproval at the whole stripping of rights in the US, even the right wing party which largely voted against the decriminalization of abortion when it came up a couple of years ago. Except one right wing MP who posted a message of support on...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Trump continued to have rallies after he was elected president, so I strongly suspect he would have continued to do so even had he not been elected. I feel like the media coverage that would bring would have helped spread the lie. I doubt it would have reached the point of people trying to storm...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Assuming he does run, I'll be fascinated to see who his VP pick is, since I am sure "will you help me take over as dictator for life" will be one of the things they will have to agree to before he picks them.

    Clearly that means abortion can't be banned, or else D.C. would no longer have a source of power.
