Not really an alternate timeline the way that term is usually intended. This is intended to be the same timeline as, say, Picard s3. Just much farther into the future.

Assuming that 47 wasn't delusional, and that he was actually correct about what was going on in South Africa (and that the SA government was hiding it, as is the contention), I'm not sure what else he would have been expected to do.... I mean, there's plenty about 47 that's moronic and worthy...

Perhaps, but remember that in our own system, while "BC" does designate a "before," AD does not designate an "after" (and, of course, the secular equivalents of "BCE" and "CE" help clarify this by not even suggesting an "after"). The Star Wars system of "BBY" and "ABY" does, on the other hand...

Not only that. He did so on the anniversary of the day that Fred Rogers addressed Congress in 1969 to save PBS. This is next-level trolling.

Why arrest him when you can just blow up his planet?

To say nothing of the old "Matinee at the Bijou" Yes, I'm old.

Presumably, some people (I'd use another word, but it probably violates board rules) came on board precisely because he was taking over... but yeah, I'm surprised that it ever rose above his starting point. I know I wasn't alone in leaving back when first word that he was likely going to buy it...

I consider this so obvious that I'm mildly surprised it has to be a discussion. Trump is setting things up so that he can do everything he wants, but when push-back comes, it's always going to be someone else who has to take the fall for it. What's perhaps more suprising is that there are so...

I don't intend it to be "doom and gloom," but simply the realistic (IMHO, of course) perspective that sustaining 8 waves of all-but identical figures... folks are bound to get tired of it. There's going to be a drop-off of interest long before wave 8 would be ready.

Hasbro registers trademarks (as was pointed out, not copyright, which is why I responded vis-a-vis the NFL in the first place, apparently misunderstanding the question) for new names all the time, but there are TONS of names that they don't bother to register. Hasbro's only going to register...

Yeah, that seemed a nothingburger, simply to set up

I'm pretty sure they only have to have the rights from the NFL. I don't think individual teams get a say.

I've little doubt that Hasbro can turn a profit on what's been announced. I'm less confident they can do so enough to warrant doing the whole NFL.

Well, the Kansas City Chiefs did manage to be one of the first helmets announced....

I hope these are really small if that's the case. If not, not only will *I* not be getting most of them (I'd probably only do one or two, anyway), but I doubt Hasbro will ever get around to completing the project. UPDATE: Ahhh, Deluxes at $25. That's it. We're never going to see more than a...

I'd be lying if I said the thought hadn't crossed my mind....

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. It's VERY easy for me to imagine that they'll go after whites, as well, and contrive an explanation that simply paints them as "extreme liberal" (the truth will not matter here, let's be clear), thus rendering the victim's plight as unworthy of their notice.

Watching the stock market crash as a result of 47's tariffs put me in mind of some conversations back when Toys R Us was going out of business back in 2018. Many of us (arguably not all) were of the opinion that TRU's failure was less to do with any of their own specific failings, nor even of...

As a Californian, I wouldn't mind terribly much being made into our own country, free of Trumpian rule.
