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

    I was going to say it's probably not fair to judge people now for what they wrote on a web site as a teen twenty years ago, but from googling, he's continued to say a lot of stupid terrible things over the years, so clearly he has not changed much, if at all.

    It took a note of my google login when I voted, so I assumed it was just saving the one vote per person.

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

    I wonder if that's the cult brainwashing trick I saw explained on Twitter once. "Hey, new recruit, welcome to our family. Now stand in this and shout this ludicrous material at people so they will join too." [New recruit does so, general public reacts with bewilderment and terror.] "See new...

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

    Don's great and regularly runs for council. Here's an article about him from 2019 when he last ran for mayor: https://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/wellington/115074565/growth-is-bad-procongestion-don-mcdonald-joins-wellington-mayoral-race I mean, he's absolutely right about that. We need...

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

    It's almost local election time in New Zealand, and it's an extra minefield this year as the crazies have decided that they're going to run candidates in the elections, but not let on they're crazies. E.G. in my own city, there's a fellow running for city councillor. You would not know it by...

    Skyrim! Because all the really good stuff never actually leaves.

    Figures. I suspect I may have been remembering the stagecoaches in Red Dead Redemption or something.

    Skyrim! Because all the really good stuff never actually leaves.

    I've been playing the Anniversary Edition, which has been going about as well as expected so far: The Dawnbreaker quest bugged out when I got to the end, and I had to reload back a save to complete it. But I am confused by something - from when I played it way back, I recall when I took a cart...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    This story is honestly bewildering to me. Mainly because I can't work out why Trump was holding on to the empty folders if he had sold or got rid of the documents. Anything seems plausible from "Trump sold the documents to the Russians but kept the folders because he is just that dumb" to "Trump...

    Closest I can find is this story: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/31/trump-lawyers-again-push-for-special-master-in-fbi-raid-of-mar-a-lago.html They want a "special master" appointed to review the seized documents to make sure they are what the DOJ says they are.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I was less thinking of the brainwashed cult than the public figures along the lines of Ted Cruz and so on. The cult will support him no matter what, but high ranking public figures are usually only supporting Trump to further their own standing. If they see Trump is now at the "committing...

    That seems like it would be a really bad move, since at that point he is openly committing treason which carries a penalty of death in the US. I would absolutely interested to see how many people would still be defending him under those circumstances.

    UAE would make a lot of sense. No extradition treaty with the US either.
