Also it's kind of ridiculous how much more characterization all the characters get in the DLC than in the main game

A lot of it is just files you pick up but at least they tell you *something* about these people

Man Kidman's DLC really shows how much of a dirtbag Dr. Jimenez was

That dude got off easy

There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

A constitutional President cannot unilaterally increase his power. What you are describing is a king or a dictator.

Okay, I'll bite: what meaningful distinctions are there? Because from where I'm sitting, the party of Gitmo and rendition is just slightly more circumspect in their vileness than the party of CECOT and deportation.

I mean they're not "open" Nazis here either. This is a leak from a closed group chat.

It's been a while since I had an excuse to use this

Meme from Yu-Gi-Oh. A brown-haired boy plays a card that reads, "If Netanyahu is a war criminal so is Obama!". A blond-haired boy then plays a card that simply says, "OK." The brown-haired boy recoils in shock as he is apparently assaulted by yellow laser beams or something. I should probably point out that I've never seen, read or played Yu-Gi-Oh.

Oh, okay. Honestly that doesn't surprise me that much. It's just like how Konami doesn't see fit to rerelease the original Silent Hill games (though I've heard that also has to do with them losing the gold masters for those games).

Sorry, what "Resident Evil GOG stuff"? Are they going to delist RE1 thru 3 from there?

I was never in any group chats :(

In fact there was never an option for it for me. Maybe because I always used the website instead of the app?

i mean those libs are technically "antifa", at least they think of themselves as anti-fascist

they keep harping on the "No Kings" thing in such a way that makes it sound like they think we should have a king

and I'm sure a lot of them do but you'd think they wouldn't say it out loud

The only thing that's changed is that Trump and his cadre has given these folks the confidence to say the quiet part loud

I guess the solution is to split the difference and have a cave behind the waterfall that has like a nickel in it

Especially if your game does not use American currency

They did the same thing to India Walton when she won the Democratic primary for mayor of Buffalo

Right now they're trying to do the same thing to Graham Platner by running Gov. Mills against him in the Senate race in Maine

"The president is illegitimate and should be removed from office" is the minimum pitch for anyone nominally opposing him

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.
