He's getting his finger ready for a stern wagging.

Yeah, they already said "CEO".

Vaporware is something that never gets released to the public.

A scam is when someone takes your money under fraudulent pretenses.

What about this thread of ships that people paid for that still aren't available in game?

Some of them have been waiting for TWELVE YEARS

That's fucking vaporware, and a fucking scam.

Still, I wish someone had kicked the shit out of him.

There's still time.

"Don't protest or he'll get mad" is a self-defeating thought.

Good thing Texans want to kill off renewable energy in favour of burning more fossil fuels. I'm sure that'll help.

They don’t believe in anything. They don’t stand for anything. They won’t fight for anything.

Yes they do. They're neoliberals. They' believe in corporate profits. They stand for making money at the expense of you and your family. They'll fight people who stand against their Israeli genocide.

And they're all worthless.

It is if no one stops him. The Constitution doesn't do anything unless people actively uphold it. So far Trump's gotten away with so many things because no one's actually stopping him.

I keep waiting for the American public to take a stand, but apparently they're willing to sit there on the couch while their democracy is stripped away.

They're not Putin in the effort.

"It wouldn't be in the air before 2030 at the earliest, long after he's left office"

He's not leaving office. He fought against stepping down last time and everyone has given him more power this time. He will never leave that office while he lives.

 

American food safety checks have nearly stopped now that the FDA has been cut so bad|y. They can't even follow up on investigating reports anymore.

Why are we importing and allowing dangerous foods to be sold here?

If you think things are bad now, then, brace yourself: it is about to get a whole lot worse. If you are alarmed at the speed with which the Trump administration has set about dismantling every institution of American government and every pillar of the international order, you must understand that this is not just the initial burst of activity, the “shock and awe” phase after which things will settle down: if anything, the pace will continue to accelerate.

The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron, all in the same person. Whatever the purpose to which he directs these powers – to impress his dictator friends, to further enrich himself and his cronies, to seize absolute power or just to watch the world burn – we must hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

 
 

What last name do you think is neat? It could sound cool, have an interesting meaning or history, etc.
