That's the best Trump depiction.

If California left, the US would have a lot of emigration to it.

It's nice to finally be able to describe current events as Orwellian without being hyperbolic. So nice.What? This seems amusing, please do elaborate https://mobile.twitter.com/Lee_in_Iowa/status/822634312650649600/photo/1 Also the bee movie, and Bane, apparently.Trump plagiarized Avatar today. I think that's unpresidented.Pidesco replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Big project names have indeed been US states since the beginning. The state names are chosen in the order they have joined the union. Apparently smaller projects may use state capital names instead, but I'm not sure about that. The names have no bearing on what the games actually are. So KOTOR2 was Project Delaware, NWN2 was Pennsylvania and Alpha Protocol was Project Georgia, for instance.I'd say Portugal, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia are the places that combine beautiful stuff to visit, and comparatively low prices. English shouldn't be too much of a problem.Apparently Trump will continue as the star of Celebrity Apprentice. Surreal if you ask me but what do the Americans think of this?Not to be (more of) an insufferable ass, but I think you mean the Monroe Doctrine, which predates the explicitly anti-Soviet Truman Doctrine. I was thinking more about US intervention in the post war era, so I actually meant to write Truman Doctrine. Of course, the Monroe Doctrine applies for interventions before WWII.Chile was already a successful democracy before the CIA and Nixon's policies helped depose Allende.Because every time a moderate left leaning government was put in power in any Central or South American country, the US would butt in the name of the Truman Doctrine. Pinochet is pretty much the perfect example of that."Politics 2017" It is, of course, ok as is.I think you should have taken a page from sports gaming naming conventions when coming up with the title for this thread.There was a forum Thunderdome in another place and another time. I'm not sure there's anyone left who used to post there.Stupid level scaling.Metaphors, how do they work.https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/why-i-am-changing-the-name-of-our-puppy-burning-movement-to-alt-warmthhttp://electionado.com/canvas/1479173071893It's certainly the year racism and xenophobia came back to the fore. Nationalism with air quotes.The results of this election are a result of demographics more than anything. At the national level, I don't see how the GOP will win the popular vote again. The EC, gerrymandering and demographics (Democrats are concentrated, Republicans are spread out) are what gave the election to the GOP. The presidential election was won by 100000 votes, and Congress was, as usual defined by gerrymandering. This election was mostly defined partisanship and the aggrieved, uneducated white vote.
