  1. If it was a general Muslim ban, a lot more countries would be on the list. But it's still a travel ban for Muslims (and only muslims) from certain countries. So it's still a Muslim ban.
  2. Mind you there's nothing against a walled border, especially if there's a lot of illegal immigration and smuggling across said border.
  3. What happened in Russia during the first world war was a little more complicated than an uprising to stop a wildly unpopular war. Though it certainly did help (along with the staggering death toll)
  4. Civil war over a war? Don't be silly. The US have fought wildly unpopular wars before, even with conscription, and will do so again.
  5. Altenna wouldn't be bad if she joined at the start of the generation, but she only has the last two maps and her primary use is getting Areone off your back. 3/10
  6. Conquer Europe within a few generations, then watch it fall apart due to inheritance laws.
  7. So far all Trump has done is sign executive orders, which hold judicial power despite completely bypassing the house of representatives. The only way EO's can be overturned, afaik, is if they're overturned by the supreme court for being unconstitutional, or repealed by the next president. To put it quite simply, preparing for court cases takes months. That doesn't mean the democrats aren't going to take action, if they even can. In either case they are not in position to fix the EO loophole that's been exploited for at least ~150 years now.
  8. If you don't aim to become Karling, I will not recognize this LP as legitimate. *cross arms*
  9. Obama had the DREAM thing, which was essentially clemency for some 700,000 high potential illegal immigrants.
  10. Just damaging something is irrelevant, especially when you consider the plethora of ways the game gives you to outright kill every grunt in the game in one go. Yes. Though the magic ring is still contested. My point was more that Levin is a bad parent for a magic swording Fee. Claude is essentially the same. If you want to have a magic Fee, use Azel.
  11. Levin!Fee starts with 1 mag, +7 from promotion, +14 from magic sword attacks, and will get 7.25 mag from levels in total. A lot of gen 2 grunts like running around with 55hp or more, res generally being (near) zero, meaning she needs to hit level 29 on average to get the 28 magic attack needed or orko. Interestingly chapter 10 and endgame grunts tend to have a bunch more res and hp. In short, Levin!Fee can't be expected to be very useful with magic swords.
  12. ... Or have Fee use it and leave Fin in the dust. I'm not sold on Fee with a magic dad, also. Levin doesn't do so much for her magic growth, and Tailto also wants him, Claude is Imo best paired with Aideen for staff transfer (and also doesn't do much for her mag stat), and there are a few mothers who make a good case for wanting Azel.
  13. There is no way a foreign policy led by Donald J Trump will not end in tears.
  14. I don't see US taxes on imports from Mexico doing anything other than making them more expensive. I'm not impressed by Trumps executive orders. Legal immigration into the US is already extremely arduous, especially if you're coming in as a skilled worker, often to the detriment of companies who need to search for people abroad. (It's a fairly common thing to find your business limited because you can't find or hire the people who can set up and run research projects, expansions, etc.) The US-Mexican border is already walled off for the most part, and heavily patrolled. So building a new wall is just moot. Otherwise all his plans seem to be aimed at destroying Obama's legacy, and that's unimpressive all on its own.
  15. It's not the gubmint's duty to educate you about vaccines, as much as it's not the gubmint's duty you get you vaccinated, and it's not their job to counter. As far as I know that's just how American law rolls.
  16. ...why is the str cap low when it's 3 points off the highest, which is 27? I can't recall this being significant against anyone other than Alvis/Julius. Anyway, Aless is good, his holy crit sword is good, and the fact he gets a res bonus means he is useful in endgame. 8/10
  17. He means go back in time to the era of the Spanish-American war when America was heir to Rome.
  18. Can you pardon someone who has not been sentenced? May seem like a technicality but these sorts of things matter in law.
  19. I wouldn't call Leafs offense top notch when the top notch combat in his generation is limited to holy weapon users Imo. I dont see leaf offing the stronger bosses, anyway. Leif can easily be promoted by the start of chapter 8 and doing so doesn't even require any sort of going out of your way or sacrifice, just a bit of planning
  20. Leaf wants to inherit the pursuit ring and grab his starting villages for the elite ring to promote asap. Once he promotes, he's a very good combat unit and A staves on a horse is a good utility and allows for rescue staff shenanigans. I give Leaf a 8/10
  21. I think its fair to assume most of the people who would not vote trump and his cronies for being criminals and apparently rapists in specific wouldn't have voted him anyhow. Mind you this doesn't mean Clinton ran a poor campaign. It just means that a large part of the population buys into his nonsense, or perhaps thought "a billionaire can't possibly be a moneygrubbing bastard, he's too rich for that" like that bitchman from nirvana. And then thought this was flawless reasoning.
  22. Mass effect is weird. ME1 had the best level up things, ME2 had the best combat and IMO the best dialogue, ME3 had nothing. Something that was consistent over all three iterations was the horrible, useless, detrimental companion AI, which made playing on high difficulties unfun.
