I think the way I saw entrapment described is that it requires the police to induce someone to break the law where they wouldn't have usually. If a cop asks a drug dealer for meth and the drug dealer gets them meth, not necessarily entrapment. But if the cop asks someone for meth and they're like um I don't actually know how to get meth, but the cop is all like c'mon I heard you were cool, c'mon be a bro and get me some meth, c'mon man, I'll be your girlfriend if you get me meth (ok so in this example the cop is a woman and also I stole the example from Boston Public) then it might be a bit more entrappy. I don't think asking someone to tell the truth and they then lie counts.

Interesting take, especially given that Fallout: New Vegas came out more recently and most people seem to regard that as their best work. In fact, KOTOR 2 was their first game, so it's just really weird that someone who thinks a game company only had one good game would bother to join their message boards.

Not that familiar with US law. Is the situation roughly that Flynn had the legal right to simply refuse to talk, but Skarpen believes he should have the legal right to outright lie to whichever government agencies he wants to lie to?

TBH I got the impression this wasn't as much the case as it should be, and that we saw a little bit of the good old 'if the President does it, it's not a crime.'

If y'all wanna try a point and click adventure game with fair puzzles, may I suggest Nelly Cootalot and the Fowl Fleet, which I mentioned earlier, and which is very charming and also a good game, and has Tom Baker as the voice of a bird.

Maybe the way Trump exerted his influence on other people - like bullying governors into undoing mask mandates or whatever - has just got us internationals all confused.

Well it's a laugh, innit?

Yo, my bad for misdefining (apparently this isn't a word? whatevs) the office of President. Final sentence was the important one anyway, tho.

What if I answered with 'a large toddler'?

Huh, didn't know that. What're the other two branches?

noun the person who holds the highest position in a national government:

He's the head of state. He represents every single American. He makes decisions that affect all of them, and disproportionately affect the least powerful, like homeless people.

IMO the President should have to have been homeless at least once. How... what was the phrase? How can you be the head of something you don't respect or understand?

Guys, I'm starting to think some of these legal challenges might not have been thought out all that well.

It is an indictment that voting for anyone other than the two candidates that have been preordained as the only two candidates that are allowed to win is directly equivalent to literally not voting at all. Honestly hate the idea of this kind of voting almost as much as what the USA currently has. I want the kind of nuance that preferential voting affords me. I want my vote to go to the big party that I hate least ONLY after we've established that the party I actually like can't possibly get a majority, not for my votes for those two parties to be exactly the same. (We have preferential voting here in Australia, it rules.)

Depends. If they'd voted Democrat, we'd still have no Trump. If they'd drawn a **** in the ballot instead of casting a legitimate vote, we'd still have no Trump. If they'd stayed home instead, we'd still have no Trump. Of course, IMO this is more of an indictment of the USA's voting system.

No, get over it. Oh wait you managed to filter it anyway, hooray.

Can you point me to a link where the election had been called in favour of Donald Trump and Joe Biden said that he wouldn't concede, that in fact the Republicans had tried to steal the election, but that if you ignored all the illegal ballots that in fact he, Joe Biden, was the winner? Because otherwise, I feel like maybe the situations you're describing are way less similar than you are making out here.

If you want a point and click adventure with a more likeable protagonist, you should consider Nelly Cootalot and the Fowl Fleet.

Dragon Age: Inquisition was fun, actually.

Just beat Covenant 25 on Monster Train, which I'm sure means nothing to most of you, but I was p. happy with.

I haven't been following the thread enough to know which of the conservative talking points here are sarcasm, and which are earnestly held beliefs.

The difference is now there's a clearly visible end date.

I think a number of Republicans will start to carefully distance themselves from the flaming wreckage that was once their president.

You know what, I'm just gonna let you two hug it out or whatever
