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

Timed exclusive wasn't Obsidian's decision. I don't remember 'player choice' being the main reason for no romance, I remember the stated reason being... well more what you said in the brackets.

I've been playing Monster Train and Hades. Monster Train is a deckbuilding cross with tower defence game. Each game takes about half an hour or so, and involves you trying to take the last bit of the fires of hell or something like that to restart the fires of hell. I dunno, who cares about the story. You get spells or units from card drops, can upgrade said cards for gold, and then get into fights where you beat up angels with monsters or spells. Kinda similar to Slay the Spire; maybe not quite as refined, but still a lot of fun, and has more variance. Hades is an isometric beat em up roguelike (roguelite?) with a neat story that leans into the roguelike mechanics, lots of meta advancement to make your character more powerful for successive runs, great music and a bonkers level of voiced dialogue. Most runs tend to end up differently, and there's incentives (by way of prophecies) to mess with different builds. Also, once you've beaten the game with a weapon, you have to take 'pacts' (voluntary handicaps) in order to get more rewards. Both of them are great imo.

Thanks dude. Yeah, it didn't really offer that strong a refutation.

It matters because of the things in the rest of the post that you didn't quote. Dems still win even if Republicans take Arizona, right?

Guess it depends. The fact that Trump lies so frequently (Forbes said 23 times a day in 2020, apparently Washington Post clocked him at 12 lies a day in his first year in office) means he's given a little bit less credit. It's easy to write off the occasional error as someone just not knowing the subject matter as well as they might, but if you continually obviously lie even when the facts are presented to you, that's a very different thing. It's difficult to know for sure how one might respond if Trump's responses were 'my bad, the figures were off, but that's not really the point' because that's generally not how he responds, he just follows up with another lie.

Frankly the quote "as to aoc, she is almost as much o' a fact checking nightmare as is trump." is more dishonest than anything said by AOC.
