    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I call shenanigans on that last one. Living on the same planet as Donald Trump constantly makes me feel like I'm living in a cartoon.

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    That may be true for the majority of them, but even Rare wasn't confident that it was the best way to play GoldenEye. That's why they concocted that absurd alternate scheme where you have to hold one controller in each hand. They knew dual analog was the future.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    All this discourse over whether Biden is fit to run or not and whether it's hurting his chances to win in November is likely to be a self-fulfilling prophecy if anything. In fact, I'll even call it: if he does manage to lose, I will pin 100% of the blame on the people who are constantly on TV...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Sure, but they ultimately got to decide the terms of those contracts, and if "we get to modify the games' controls to better suit the needs of our players" wasn't one of them, that's nobody's fault but their own. I can't imagine that having been a dealbreaker for anyone.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Also, and I can't believe I'm the first one to bring this up, Hillary had way more actual political experience. She had sat on various committees, was a senator for eight years, and then Secretary of State. Being married to a former President seems to be Michelle's only real achievement so far.

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

    It's really not. A tax would be paid by everyone, automatically. If they only demand money from people who are using the service, that's called a fee. I'm not fond of governments just charging fees for services rendered, especially if it's that hard to even tell who is and isn't actually using...

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

    Oh, sure, but I don't understand why they can't just fund it from taxes like a proper public service. I've heard stories of officials going door to door and shaking people down like mobsters, poking around in their houses trying to find a TV or something they can claim looks enough like one to...

    Geez, if those numbers hold, Kennedy's gonna be the most successful third party candidate since Perot. In any other election cycle, I'd assume he'll be stealing all those votes from the Republican front-runner. This year, though...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    I mean, they're still voting for Congressmen, aren't they? They're not just writing in "Donald Trump" for every line of the ballot, surely.

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    I also trust that he'd be willing to declare himself no longer fit for office and hand things over to Harris.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Ironically it'd probably lead to fewer delays, because there's no longer a specific date to try to delay until.

    So I am making a video game.....

    Shame there's not a non-offensive way to carry the wordplay even further. ...Where did the term "scalping" even come from anyway?

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    I can see the Democrats sweeping this November's election. But I can also see them using it as an excuse to sit on their hands for the next four years instead of taking initiative to fix anything, especially via something as radical as stacking the Supreme Court or impeaching one or more of its...

    Police behaving badly

    Do you need trailing on how to handle sovereign citizens? I feel like you could just treat them like anyone else who's being belligerent and resisting arrest, and in this case it would be totally justified.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Y'all are being weirdly optimistic about this. My mother, who has been a Republican her entire life, gave me the news like every single person we know had just died in a bus crash. As she put it, as long as he's "acting in an official capacity", the President can now order the immediate...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    Reminder that hating old people is not "agism" for the same reason that hating white people is not "racism": They're the privileged ones taking our rights away.

    P&R Funnies!

    Oh, they can keep everything from utterly collapsing around them; hell, even Trump managed to not turn the country into a literral wasteland in four years. The system is resilient. The question is can anyone actually implement new policies that make life better for people, rather than simply...

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

    Unfortunately, one thing I do know about UK politics is that the BBC license fee is just about one of the most universally hated policies in the entire country. I can't think of a better way for a candidate to get support than to announce that you plan to get rid of it.

    If both candidates have to agree to participate in the debate, it can't very well be scheduled before both participants have even been chosen.
