The Moonies are based out of South Korea.

Gonna be entirely honest here. If you think that Russian interference was a significant factor in the election, you’re falling for Putin’s game. His entire political career has hinged upon creating an illusion of a stronger, more influential, more successful Russia than actually exists.

Also? Kinda low class to post a review of a fast food sauce that the site you’re a vertical of is doing an entire corporate sponsored podcast about.

Nah, I just know what horrible fast food places have passed off as Teriyaki for like twenty years, which is Soy Sauce and Sugar.

It was reintroduced to hype their tendies so vOv

Uh, Maybe the reason people invoke Teriyaki is that the original packaging described it as “teriyaki szechuan” sauce, and it tasted like shitty fast food teriyaki with a shake of ketchup in? Like this was always some dumb racist nonsense.

Paul Krugman.

Yup, back in the mid-eighties. She was trying cater to aging Dixiecrats in advance of the 1984 Democratic Convention because she wanted the VP nod. She not only flew it, she had it put back up twice after activists tore it down.

Saying that that was the breaking point is giving her too much credit. She should have been out of the Democratic party in the eighties when she insisted on flying the Confederate flag over San Francisco.

Yeah! I think that’s what so many people miss about that generation of democratic flacks. It’s not their fault that they weren’t equipped going in. They were let down by a culture that taught them that Republicans were going to be good faith actors and that compromise is inherently virtuous. That’s not a moral failing.

You know what Haru is? Haru is what happens when someone at Famitsu says “Haha. Well, at least Atlus can’t make an even worse character than Marie!” and the entire Persona 5 team says “... Hold my drink”

Jesus christ the only interesting thing about her is that she listens to Boss when he talks about coffee. I listen to boss when he talks about coffee and unlike her, my healing items aren’t terrible!

And what the fuck is up with her hair? I mean she looks like god sneezed while trying to make a french dog.

Honestly I think we’re avoiding talking about the elephant in the room: That Hifumi being a party member was cut because they thought Haru was more important to the main plotline. Ideally she’d get the same kind of attention that party members do, and cutting her in favor of Haru was a big mistake. It left her half…

I’m sorry but between his puppydog affection, organizing most of the sidequests, and being named after the last person to publicly commit seppuku, he’s a top tier husbando. Hifumi belongs in the trash.

I think you’ll find that ACTUALLY the MC belongs with MISHIMA and also I think now I have to fight you with knives.

And then all those John Lovett types come into the white house expecting it to be just like The West Wing despite half a decade or more of Jim Sensenbrenner pulling childish shit in Congress out of spite. The Obama administration was half Clintonite hacks and half children who were totally unequipped to actually…

Yeah, that’s true. And while I’m at it I might as well admit that making a black-led tentpole in an age where the consensus is that black doesn’t sell in China is ballsy in and of itself. But as a big fan of Priest it’s still kinda vexing.

Steak-umm twitter is actually great because the account is run by some ex-SA goon who wants to just make jokes and get Lowtax to notice them.

I guess so- but the CIA carries with it all this baggage about state-sponsored violence, coups, the US sticking its dick where it doesn’t belong... the State Department does the same thing but at least there’s the veneer of diplomacy.
