People died in Pearl Harbor. People will not die from Russia hacking the DNC. People will die from the AHCA. That’s why, moron.

Okay, how exactly is a country meddling in another country’s election unprecedented? How is having another weird rapey buffoon in an office that’s been occupied by loads of weird rapey buffoons some kind of big deal for American democracy?

I don’t think he did any real damage to American democracy- and Russia’s involvement is hardly unprecedented. Hell, Clinton herself suggested that the US should take a more active role in rigging elections abroad ten years ago. It just feels different because it’s happening in America.

TV wrestling jumped the shark with the Montreal screwjob, and it’s a fucking shame because it did it before POCs and white women had a shot at breaking through in a really game-changing way.

My sister and her wife briefly considered this- thankfully they backed off and just had a themed cake and a couple color suggestions.

There’s a vague reference in the book to a god of Credit Cards, I think. Money itself would just be Mammon rebranded ala Vulcan one would think.

Just Chillin’ in Cedar Rapids!

My absolute FAVE bit of news about Jezza and May is that the Tory Tabloids tried to make a big deal about Jezza not bowing to the Queen, even though normally it’s just four functionaries (only one elected) who are supposed to bow.

Because separating the head of state from the head of government is important, and if you’re already using a monarch, why bother replacing them with a President or Chancellor?

Yes. It’s surprisingly relevant what with the ascent of the alt-right/alt-light.

Of course they will. Why else did the neoliberal wing cajole Perez into running for DNC chair, denying the more populist wing of the party even a symbolic victory? Why did Nancy Pelosi respond to a question about disenchantment with neoliberal capitalism with “We’re capitalists, and that’s just the way it is”?

It’s been said before, but I’ll say it again:

Yeah, Tales just adds more midgame content and fleshes some stuff out. I think Obsidian deliberately made a very slim streamlined game though, and Tales was about broadening it.

Well, Tales from the Tiers is out now, and Bastard’s Wound is due out later this year...

Yeah, it it’s coming from a position of ignorance, it’s pretty fair to call her out for it. Especially with the Murdoch link. That almost makes her support of Jezza worse than her condemnation of Clinton because it’s just rich dumb capital appropriating a progressive movement that’s actually accomplishing things.

Honestly, that makes a lot of sense. Yes, she was the lesser of the evils, but let’s be clear here: She led Obama down the primrose path to a more hawkish foreign policy, she has a history of supporting white supremacist legislation as the first lady, she made extensive use of convict labor- modern day slave labor- as…

Okay, John McCain’s concerns will matter when he actually votes against Trump and Ryan consistently. This is just the Republicans back on their Jim “The Rapist Toad” Sensenbrenner bullshit.

I’m sorry, but are you high or young or something? Did you not live through the Bush Years? Or the chunk of the Clinton years where the Republicans held congress? These people cannot be swayed and do not have decency. The presumption that they can and do is projection by naive democrats who watched too much of the…

To me though, that makes it more important that we focus less on the Republicans and more on internal battles in the Democratic party. The unexpected popularity of Sanders, and the triumph of Corbyn in the UK, suggest that maybe a refocusing of the democratic message on economic issues could make for a smash at the…

That’s the best case scenario for if he resigns, but that’s presuming that it’s Republicans who push him out. I think it’s much more likely that if he bows out, he bows out because of media pressure. That’s always bothered him a lot more than anything the party itself has said- which is why he’s so willing to push…
