    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.

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

    No longer the party of: ☑ Lincoln ☑ Teddy Roosevelt ☑ Tom Clancy ☑ George W. Bush

    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.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    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.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I just realized. Trump has already had the first debate; the second is supposed to be between running mates... except Trump hasn't actually picked his yet. Which reminded me that usually they announce their running mates at the convention. Which made me wonder when that was. It's not till next...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Honestly the fact that Biden agreed to these debates at all makes him look weak. In part because it's just another reminder that the other man in the room should not even be walking around a free man at this point, and it's largely his fault. Seriously, in literally any other civilized country...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    With Nintendo having total control, you'd think they could just, like... romhack the games they're putting on the service to automatically have a natural control scheme out of the box. This isn't like Steam, where the games are what they are and all you can do is hope Steam's own app can trick...

    P&R Funnies!

    OK, the part that's supposed to be funny is that it looks like the gun is pointed at the baby's head, yes? Not just the fact that people who are "pro-life" are also OK with the existence of murder weapons?

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

    Still impressive that a political figure who's never been the head of state can quit his party, run as an independent, and still poll second behind the party he left. Both for him and for the system, really. Imagine that happening in the US literally ever.

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    I'm not sure what the appeal of such a thing would be. The Switch Lite is already cheap enough to make that they can charge $100 less for it, and a Switch without Joy-Cons would have to either be bundled with a pair anyway (or a Pro Controller) or be priced so low that you'd still be saving...

    Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Por que no los dos? An already-unpopular leader trying to end democracy in a country where everyone has military training is just begging to be overthrown in a violent revolution.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    It shouldn't really matter anymore if Obgerfell is overturned, because in the meantime Congress went and enshrined it into law. Now, if they start trying to get that law declared unconstitutional, that's gonna be a problem.

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    True, antisemitism has never been a left, right, or center thing; it just is. But it does seem particularly drawn to other radical ideologies like a magnet. Not so popular with apathetic, apolitical types.

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    It was real in that they really did look into whether mind control was possible, but we still don't know what, if anything, they found, let alone what they did with that information. On that note, this popped up in my YouTube feed just t' other day.

    That's one reason why you're not supposed to hotlink images, ever. I honestly wish forum software would just stop letting people try.

    Conspiracy lunatic thread - people who believe in absurd nonsense are dangerous

    I'd say "Because the real conspiracies aren't the ones that serve their narrative," but left-wing conspiracy theories do also exist. I can only think of two off the top of my head and they haven't been relevant in over a decade, but they exist. And more disturbingly, right-wing conspiracy...

    So not only are the Tories going to lose big to Labour, these guys are going to steal what's left of their vote?
