    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Remind me again why calling him "McDonald Trump" never caught on. Is it because on some level we don't feel like McDonald's deserves that association?

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I don't expect the de minimus to come back. It was really only useful if you like shopping on those "roll the dice on whether it's a scam or not" websites, not that I expect anything Trump does to kill those off. People are too used to them and will gladly pay 90% of retail price instead of 30%...

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

    To be fair, if I were a black South African, I'd be on board with anything that would make it easier for the whites to GTFO.

    Happy 20th Anniversary to Leeroy Jenkins!

    I remember finding the NPC invader "Paladin Leeroy" in Dark Souls and being dumbfounded that a game that serious would pay homage to a silly meme that was already six years old. At least it beat Duke Nukem Forever to the punch.

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    Only two thirds? I'd say it's more like 100%. Sure, the rest of us keep driving cars, but it's their companies that made them. The rest of us keep using electricity, but it's their companies that burn coal to provide it.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Am I a bad person for hoping it really is something like that? Because it's entirely possible that he's being totally serious and is about to use his bullshit dictator powers to force drug prices into the realm of the affordable with no strings attached, just because he knows how popular it...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Do you think reversing Dodge v Ford would be enough to fix the issue? Because even if they couldn't sue a company for not doing what they want, shareholders still have the power to vote executives out of office, or to sell off their stock and take their business elsewhere. I wish the stock...

    Misc. European politics

    "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." I continue to be convinced that no truer words were ever spoken.

    I predict a lot of demolition derbies in this company's future.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    If the headline is straight-up lying, it makes little difference to me whether the text of the article flatly contradicts it or not.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Oh boy, is Paladin linking to straight-up fake news now?

    P&R Funnies!

    At least the second definition exists, and isn't the product of cringy old people grossly misinterpreting a term they overheard one time. That's how you know real journalists and fact-checkers were involved at some point in the process, rather than my mom. Anyway, speaking of the new Pope, who...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    This is the same media engine that willfully parroted foreign regimes' referring to genocide as "ethnic cleansing" back in the '90s, so this is unsurprising.

    Also since when does PBS air whole-ass movies that aren't British?

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I've been saying for years that the rest of the world should stop watching our shitty movies and shows, because cultural imperialism is cancer. Good to see Trump doing his part.

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    The trouble with Nintendo's retro game subscription thingy... other than the fact that they never bothered to give it a proper name... is that since it's "free" with purchase of their online service, they are at best paying peanuts to any third-party companies that agree to put their games on...

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

    It almost sounds like he was trying to truth-bomb them with the fact that it was the south that wanted to count the slaves and the north that didn't (and the south has been trying ever since to spin it as "See? We see our slaves as people and they don't!"), but absolutely butchered it because...
