Wait, there's some joke with that order that I'm missing.

And so begins hurricane trutherism.

It will be fun to watch the change in gears. After these numbers came out, many on the right were pinning this on the Puerto Rican government which, in all fairness, didn't exactly make things better. Now they have to turn around and stop blaming local politicians and then move on to none of those deaths being real at all.

I paid $5 to save a copy of my pokemon in that stupid Pokemon Bank, so yeah, I'll drop $20 just for cloud saves.

This was how the society depicted in Demolition Man began, wasn't it?

I'm up for a fast food war.

The one thing I like about all this is that without a single ounce of shame, this went from "totally fake" to "this person is a traitor and a coward".

Do you want something that's purely about the gameplay or more of a narrative experience? Gameplay-wise, there are great games like Celeste. From the narrative side of things, you have stuff like Oxenfree or Night in the Woods.

Yeah I agree with that. If he gave the answer "I never knowingly talked to someone at the firm about the topic, but it's possible some degree of discussion happened with someone whom I didn't know worked there being that it's a big story" it would have been a completely legit answer. His refusal to say that though is concerning. It raises the issue that he did know, but doesn't want to say while also not get caught in a lie if she knows.

Hell, he could have said "I have, but at the time I didn't realize their firm was representing the president". There are like a million ways to answer that question. Simply refusing to is like the worse way possible.

I think it is a pretty bogus line of questioning. Senator Lee was right to

note it’s a town of lawyers and law firms (even the senate is filled with attorneys), and he very well may have had a conversation with somebody who worked there with or without his knowledge of the particular firm they work at. He’s also a judge so much of his social engagements are with other people in the legal profession.

 

If she thinks he talked to somebody at that firm, name the individual.

He very easily could have said that to his knowledge, he hadn't. He's under oath, so he wouldn't be lying if he was not aware that someone he had spoken to worked at that firm. Nobody would have held that against him. His caginess here is the issue.

It's going to be some not household name on Pence's staff. Then Trump and Fox will laugh about how "senior" was fake news and everyone on the right will summarily dismiss everything else as a result.

I’m guessing it’ll detail some of their online service stuff maybe? 

This is a 35 minute presentation. Online launches this month. 35 minutes for a Direct is a long time, so I have to imagine they'll use some of that time to go over their Online service.

His base will latch onto the next big thing when Trump goes away. That's what they do, they're locusts.

There's a difference between Trump goes away and the deep state stole the presidency from Trump's grasp. That would be a story no news agency could ignore. Trump loves to be in front of the camera, so he'd be on every station talking about how horribly unjust it all is. Unless he's going to jail, the GOP can never allow him to be in that position and there's just about no chance he'd ever go to jail. The best they could hope for, as far as removing him from office while saving face, is to just convince him to not run for a second term.

Okay, so all these people think he's an idiot and unfit to serve and if he testifies before Mueller he's going to go to jail...

 

...so what's stopping them from, oh I don't know, invoking the 25th Amendment and getting him out of there? Are people that terrified of Pence?

People are terrified of his base turning against them. That base won't ever vote Democrat, but it could certainly lead to a new Tea Party-like wave driving out many of those currently in office.

No problems here. Didn't he come out like a month ago saying he'd love to play the part? He's a fan and  shouldn't have much trouble looking the part with the right makeup. Sure, he's young, but it's not like he needs to look sixty years older or anything. He's also a good actor and can pull off the charisma he needs just fine. I wouldn't hold any acting you get out of any of the DC movies against the actors themselves. Those movies are train wrecks. No actor was going to save any of them.

I'm not buying the gas story. But I fully believe they were robbed very stealthily. 

Yeah, I'm not buying the gas, but it is crazy to think that anyone broke in and robbed a house full of so many people as they slept. That's some ninja'level stealth, incredible luck, and balls the size of Jupiter. You just need to hope that all these middle-aged folks don't end up having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, less your burglaring being interrupted.

If you only having a boring machine, every problem tends to looks like a hole.

Is that how that saying goes?

What jobs do you think remorseful and rehabilitated rapists should be allowed to have?

The way the industry works makes this weird. Like, if this was a multinational organization, you would expect them to fire anyone that raped a coworker. Just moving that person to an office across the country wouldn't cut it. Rehiring that rapists at a later date would also not be ok. All if that would be fine and totally normal. No woman should be forced to work with some of these guys and if they're hired back into the industry, I don't see how that could be entirely avoided.

Especially suddenly deciding, after over a year, to try to discredit his Lester Holt interview.

Trump's not trying to discredit it. He's claiming it was already discredited. The question is, by who?

Wait...is Trump now claiming that his Lester Holt interview was doctored somehow?

He normally doesn't make any sense, but I have no idea what he's talking about here. When Lester Holt was caught doing what?

Not internally developed, but they did scoop up a small chunk of the developer a little while back. This looks so much like those thousand other similar games that I get random pop ups for all over the place.

Polling seems to indicate that the right has more and more "disapproved" of Trump if he fired Mueller or ended the investigation. So it's my hot take, but that has been the case. 

Those polls are basically a furrowed brow from all our favorite members of the GOP. A lot of people don't believe he should, but there's zero reason to believe they wouldn't fall in line if he did.

Let's just drop this one right here...

Quote

When these groups organized on campus to comfort each other and demand action from former chancellor Kenneth Starr, “[Burchett] would coordinate with them, befriend them, and pretend he was helping them organize vigils and demonstrations [about] sexual assault,” the source added.

Burchett would pass on what he learned to school officials, the communications department, and Ketchum, the source added. In an email described to PRWeek, Kevin Jackson, VP of student life and Burchett’s supervisor, said the director of student activities was “adept at this kind of thing.”

Or, you know. These schools could just get their unpaid employee/athletes to just stop raping girls.

I'mma just leave this one right here...

It's nice everyone carries recording devices on then everywhere they go. Looks like this guy resigned, but wow. This wasn't even just dropping the word once. This guy went full blown racist in public.

As an outsider, how much longer do people think this investigation is going to take? Feels like six months ago people were saying that it would come to a head soon?

Anyone saying that is insane. These special investigations typically go for what? Three years on average? Yeah, we still have a ways to go.

Honestly, I'm just a sucker for any RPG that has you building a base.

Nearly always with the wife. She's wildly expressive, so it's like having my own one person studio audience sitting right next to me. It's great.
