really impressive how much fascist can do with the collaboration of conservative at this point one have very little expectation for usa other than that crumpled orange doesn't push the big red button

Fun fact for those perhaps not caught up on all of their history: Adolf Hitler became the leader of his party (German Workers' Party, later renamed National Socialist German Workers' Party) in 1921, he was arrested and imprisoned for an attempted coup in 1923, he ran for president and came second to Hindenburg in 1932, he was appointed chancellor by that same Hindenberg in 1933, and he became dictator later in the same year with the Enabling Act of 1933 that effectively suspended all civil rights in favor of supreme government authority and discretion. It took 12 years from the time Adolf Hitler became the leader of his - at the time - little podunk party until he became chancellor and then dictator. None of us lived through those times, but 12 years can be a very long time in politics, especially in that particular era, and it doesn't take a lot of googling to determine that the Nazi party was incompetent, corrupt, ineffective, drunk, drug-using, chaotic, and very backstabby during pretty much its entire existence. They had fancy and well-organized ceremonies to be certain, but they were power-mad maniacs who didn't really know what they were doing, and none of that really mattered or prevented the totality of their evil once they controlled all the levers of power.

Looks like we are sending soldiers to Greenland tomorrow. Apparently other EU countries will do the same, but it's independent of NATO, since NATO is commanded from Norfolk in the USA.

I am unable to complete the mission “Plant the Sour Super Seed / Activate the Growth Capsule.” After activating the growth capsule, the SCAB 2K scanner does not appear, making it impossible to scan the objective. Because of this, the mission cannot be completed and progression is blocked.

This is correct; I was, and kind of still am, a Packers fan, even though I don't follow the NFL at all anymore. I always cheer for the local sports team unless they are playing my actual favorite teams, but that goes for all team sports. The Madden and Tecmo Bowl games were the reason for my early Packers fandom, if anyone is wondering why the Packers. They had Sterling Sharpe and he could catch anything in those games and little kid me wanted to be a wide receiver. When I was a kid in AZ, everyone hated the Cardinals because they chose to be a city team rather than a state team, though they later rectified that. The Cowboys fans always outnumbered the Cardinals fans in my little corner of southern Arizona.

That nerve destroying op for hubby's lower spine is now on the horizon. Just waiting for a booking opening to open up. Doc says there's 3 vertebrae that are the "worst" but 5 total are problematic so they're going to do all 5. And if THAT doesn't help him, it's down to the spinal-fusion thing, which is a lot more dubious re: could get better, could not, could actually be worse (and just like with the nerves, can't reverse it). Don't know if we'll stay over night in the area or not, depends on time of day (3-4 hr drive). Maybe just rent a room for a few hours of rest/traffic avoidance first.

our prejudice against stoopid and incompetence made us dubious about the effectiveness o' a hegsteh department of war and a jeanine pirro US attorney for dc. doge were charlie fox before it even started as the potential fraud and waste literal could not amount to the trillions o' dollars claimed and the notion that "big balls," would be able to fix US spending problems had us rolling our eyes. usaid is gone and hundreds of thousands o' people is dead 'cause o' the end o' such funding with projections o' fourteen million dead by 2030 if nothing changes. the civil rights division o' doj had ~400 lawyers in various offices working in december 2024. less than half those folks remain after mass resignations. trump's sh!t coin scam has generated billions in wealth for his family-- now try tell us that were donald's idea. the republican party is open welcoming overt antisemites such as nick fuentes and candice owens into the fold, while simultaneous the trump administration used claims the major universities failed to protect jewish students during the recent israel-gaza protests to cut funding to those schools. the overall effort o' trump 2.0 to kneecap law firms, universities and media groups has been far more effective than we thought possible given how empty the administration's legal threats were/are. cecot etc. we keep underestimating the administration. keep in mind, is Gromnir who since 2017 has been warning that the traditional legal and institutional guardrails don't apply to trump. joe rogan's 2025 and 2026 epiphanies regarding the trump administration's authoritarian efforts would be amusing if joe's willful ignorance for years weren't part o' the reason we are needing suffer each new trump administration effort to outdo their previous high watermark for cruelty. unlike rogan, we saw this coming and predicted it, but am nevertheless surprised by the amount o' pain trump has been able to cause given the reality o' the people running the sh!t show. paul ingrassia is the kinda guy trump has brought in to implement project 2025. these people are clowns who is living and breathing expressions grievance who somehow manage to be utter incompetent in spite o' the fact project 2025 spent four years looking for the ideal people to implement the regime change? jeanine box-of-wine pirro and her efforts to prosecute sandwich guy and investigate jerome powell, has been entertaining 'cause she is so inept, but don't forget that she is quietly preventing any number of investigations and is otherwise effective destroying one o' the most important prosecutor offices in the country. trump 2.0 is incompetent and inefficient to a degree previously unimagined for a Presidential administration. and? HA! Good Fun!

The current President is the person in power, so politically he is the subject that matters (to Congress). Choosing to go after Clinton like they are is just a distraction tactic. Unless Clinton has something pertinent to add about the current President, it's more the business of the judicial system.

I have finished today late in the night the hardest MKvsDCU Kombo Challenge, Shang Tsung. As before, I have used the feature of my controller to program actions. The paradox of this challenge is, that 8 out of 10 challenges, are not that hard, but challenge nr.7 and 9 are crazy hard as ****, even when not counting the occasional game latency. It took me 3 hours to program the 8 easier challenges, and another 3 hours to program these two crazy one. For now 4 out of 22 challenges are completed.

Maybe but end of the day isnt it better for Bill Clinton to clarify why Epstein visited him in the WH 17 times and why he flew on Epstein's private plane 27 times? https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/bill-hillary-clinton-refuse-testify-house-epstein-probe-2026-01-13/ I dont think Clinton is guilty of anything but is it really unreasonable to expect him to answer questions? Even if it is a witch-hunt they cant charge him with something he didnt do And these same questions should be asked to everyone, including Trump Thats what this whole thing is suppose to be about, getting clarity on what people did or didnt know

Generally, I suppose no one should have expected the Trump administration powered by vibes and incessant insecure masculinity to be competent or efficient.

Because this is a farce. Right now the GOP is trying everything they can to push all blame on Clinton, while Trump stays out of this. I believe they said the same, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now. And they are not wrong. The current approach to this thing is ridiculous and insulting. They release whatever suits their narrative while scrubbing Trumps name out of everything. They are very clearly biased.

Stuck on this part today. I can't progress to get 1000g.

I see the Clintons have refused to testify, I wonder why? I have read all there legal reasons but its not very convincing considering all the attention on Epstein https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/bill-hillary-clinton-epstein-investigation

It depends on what you mean by "dangers" and how it impacts you on the geopolitical level and also what specific dangers you concerned about that Trump has created We were living in a world already where countries like Russia can illegally annex parts of other countries and invade countries and yet the world still continues If you just very disappointed with the US under Trump thats understandable and especially if you a supporter of the US and what defines Democracy But if you can be more specific that would be helpful?

while people see the danger also made the mistake of expecting a more openly fascist usa would be more competent and efficient but instead see herd of rambling moron hurt people at random in their confusion are just as harmful

Damn the USA sucks and anyone who downplayed the dangers of Trump sure does look like a moron now, well toodles.

You definitely should see cheaper coffee These types of trade deals have a bad reputation because they sometimes dont include protectionism for local industries. For example when South Africa joined BRICS we were told it was going to create this " massive " benefit for our economy but because there have never been any clauses or ideas around how to protect our local industries its ended up with a R253 billion trade deficit with BRICS that is only increasing https://dailyinvestor.com/south-africa/93948/sa-has-a-trade-surplus-of-r37-billion-with-the-us-and-a-trade-deficit-of-r253-billion-with-brics/ But you can see how this Mercosur\EU deal has some clever safeguards built into the agreement and this is how these types of trade deals need to be created " Europe worked hard to reach consensus on how to assuage doubts from European farmers about any negative impacts on their livelihoods. The additional measures added to the deal include “safeguards” for sensitive agricultural sectors, such as poultry, beef, eggs, citrus, and sugar, which would “suspend tariff preferences” in the case of “serious injury” to EU farmers. Serious injury is defined as an increase in import volume or a decrease in prices by more than 8 percent compared to the three-year average. The European Commission also introduced a slew of regular monitoring instruments, which will have to report to the European Council and European Parliament for increased accountability on enforcement. The Commission will be able to suspend imports from Mercosur in sensitive sectors if it deems this to be necessary. The final concessions agreed this week to bring Italy on board also include a revision to the 2028-2034 EU budget to allow farmers early access to roughly €45 billion in subsidies, as well as lowering import duties on fertilizers, the unaffordability of which was a major sticking point for protesters."

THRILLING title, eh? This thread will have spoilers for the main quest "A Complication with the Computronic Cerebrum". Please complete said quest before continuing onto the rest of this thread. !!! You Have Been Warned !!!

last heard that number was 3 usa are nation of lawyer pretty sure they can find another 10 willing to collaborate with the current regime no promise it would 10 good lawyer

update: at least ten doj attorneys has resigned over the handling o' the renee good shooting. the number "ten" is based on reporting from sources such as the washington post. however, am being told that ten is underreporting, but am not sure how much larger is the actual number o' resignations at doj. ... if a "mass walk-out" (am genuine not certain what a mass walk-out entails,) o' the washington civil rights division happened later this week, we would only be mild surprised. HA! Good Fun!

My daughter and I have been playing on a shared world. Once the update happened, my Xbox updated, but her PC won't allow her to use the shared world anymore. She tried updating, uninstall and reinstall, game repair, her build number is still showing as 2. nothing is working. It's anyone else having the same issue?

I'm having the same issue. Also with willow. I'm definitely tired of her one liners.. she's annoying and I definitely dont enjoy playing with her any more

I have to admit I’m very disappointed with the snake. I was expecting a real boss and I was really looking forward to fighting it. In the end, it’s just a mob wandering around without any real purpose, which I find very unfortunate. It’s actually very well made and very realistic, so a boss fight could have been absolutely amazing. To me, it feels like wasted potential. Aside from that, you’re doing a really great job overall, I strongly approve. I’m still a big fan of the game and I’m really looking forward to this summer to see what comes next.
