There's no precedent for this sort of thing in US politics (said the title of Trump's life story); are there any other countries that have had a candidate for high office get almost-murdered prior to an election that was this close?

I didn't even realize Biden was already running ads. I'm in Ohio and I haven't seen them. Only for Sharrod Brown and Bernie Moreno.

All Biden would have to do is give a false confession and say he acted in an official capacity as President. ;)

Paladin, I've put up with a lot of nonsense from you, but I think I'm going to have to demand an explanation as to why "stopping foreign countries from being able to literally nuke us" is considered a bad thing in your mind.

The longer this goes on, the more I wonder why he's running an electric car company in the first place. He seems to have more in common with those assholes who cut the catalytic converters out of their ten-ton diesel pickup trucks to Own the Libs.

Every Republican who casts a protest vote or none at all is still one less voting for Trump. We just need twice as many of them as we'd need if they voted for Biden.

Hell, the harder they try to fight back, the better, in my opinion. An insurgency serious enough to merit military action to put it down means less redcaps I'll have to share the planet with. Dare I even hope for a redo of the Civil War where the modern-day Benjamin Wades and Thaddeus Stevenses...

I'm just worried all this will do is give artists another reason to just purge their galleries, on the grounds that failing to manually alter and replace every single one of their 200+ uploads (which they will not do) will officially and permanently render them fair game for AI whereas before...

The trouble is if they've been uploaded to literally anything other than a personal website, making such changes en masse would be either prohibitively difficult (DeviantArt) or outright impossible (X) depending on whether the site has a no-questions-asked image replacement option. We might see...

I wonder what that entails. Something you'd have to put in the EXIF data? Would people basically have to delete all their content and reupload it with this stuff added to be protected?

Ah, the days when Obama losing an election to Mitt Romney was the most unthinkably horrible thing we could imagine happening. Wait, people were telling Hillary to step down? WELL GOSH DARN IT WHERE'S THE LIE THOUGH

I watched [Vinesauce] Vinny play this with a few other people, and I got the impression that for an off-brand Black Mesa, there weren't actually many threats to deal with. Maybe they've hammered that out since then; it was early access. But compared to—and yes, this is the game my brain ended up...

He did explicitly pledge to declare himself dictator on his first day on the job. Granted, I don't know how he expects to reconcile that with his desire to not have any responsibilities; maybe he'll establish a new legislature to replace Congress that consists only of the members of it that he...

OK, I am now retracting this statement. I do, however, trust the Democrats in Congress to start working on a plan to invoke the 25th amendment at their earliest convenience. And I trust the Republicans to vote alongside them, even though it'll mean getting President Kamala Harris, for two...

Doesn't it take a two-thirds majority to convict, or something? We'll never get that. No one will.

Better-er system would be to nationalize the whole system under the control of the Fed so we don't ever have to worry about scamming people for profits ever again, because there are no profits to be made, just a duty to one's country.

WHAT YEAR IS IT

That's one unfortunate thing about video games compared to movies. By the time you decide you're a superfan and want an expensive "collector's edition", you inevitably already own the game, possibly in a format that can't even be resold. Some publishers have dealt with this by offering one that...

Why would the media want to look into anything connected to Epstein? That just raises the chances they'll get outed next.

Yeah but again, IT IS LITERALLY TOO LATE FOR ANYONE ELSE TO RUN and have even like 10% the chance he does of winning. No one voted for anyone else in the primaries because no one else ran in them. No one is going to vote for someone the party just decided to declare the candidate by fiat.
