Good on him. He'll live long enough to be thrashed by Biden.

I'll keep this simple:
Screw Trump, in every way possible. His absolute destruction is very much welcome.

Simply put, Cain's demise didn't mean much because he wasn't Trump. No one among that cabal would give two cross-eyed shits to anyone who isn't registering in the pecking order of things.
I still look at the Orange Turd with a mixture of pity and contempt, and root for his destruction.

My first Legendary Leif and a Plumeria in 50 orbs. This is nice.

Despair and Hope was filled with equal amounts of both, on my road to a free Shinon.
- Ylgr (really, game?)
- Eyvel (see above comment)
- Fiora (Free Pegasus Flight! Now who to give this to...)
- Brave Dimitri (+atk! Great)
Averaging to one 5* every 10 summons, this journey isn't half bad.

Oh look, Trump pulling a move out of the Duterte playbook lmfao -
In a different time, all this rhetoric about not choosing the lesser of two evils (because it's still evil) would make a lot more sense. Not in the current political climate, though.
You have the chance to show your disgust at an administration that has run roughshod over the conventional bipartisan lines of thinking a few of us have (not to mention the other brilliant fuckups they've managed to serve up). Don't squander it.
side note: Crysta illustrated the point a lot more succinctly than I'd ever do. Thanks :D

A little over one month in and I haven't had the urge to check out the eShop. Guess Diablo III really is enough to curb my spending habit for now.

frankly you're a goddamn fool if you think him or people like him wouldn't have crept in all the same into a direct democracy. America is burning because of liberalism (specifically liberalism's vulnerability to fascist populism) and you can only think to add more liberalism. Maybe it's time you consider comparatively illiberal systems which accept authoritarianism on its face and searches instead to create better authoritarians.
Frankly, you're a goddamn fool for two reasons:
- Electoral Fucking College. Need I elaborate on the concept?
- For every "better authoritarian" out there, you have five despots. At least.
So, what's to consider about comparatively illiberal systems, I wonder.

Some of us would appreciate the damage mitigation skills, tooXD -

(My speculation is that the rotation is no longer a thing).
It stopped being a thing with Minerva, pretty much, since we got her after Linde.

Wow, the drift is real. Can't keep the camera straight for more the 5-10 sec at a time. I really don't want to buy more joy-cons. Oof.
Other than a Procon, there are alternatives that are not too pricey. 8bitdo is a good place to start.

Well, that's populism for you and me, I guess.
You have these unscrupulous fellows who tapped into the palpable anger and fatigue most people had and ventriloquized public opinion and sentiment to their favor, with the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave reaping the windfall.

Legendary banner gave me two 5* units so far:
- Legendary Eirika, whom I may find a use for in the future, but not now,
- Fallen Ike, who will be merged into my existing one (now at +3 with a speed asset!).

Wished for someone to get hitched one day.

A man of his temperament, track-record, and positions should be polling in the single digits.
He basically should have done just as much as Pat Robertson did in the Republican Primaries of 1988, which, for those who are inclined to look, would be a pitiful 9%.

Yeah OP, try defending shit the Kenosha sheriff said, and do let us know how it's working out.
What's more telling is that shit like the Jacob Blake shooting and Kyle Rittenhouse opening fire on protesters happened in the week of the RNC, where people are told that "the best is yet to come" by Kimberly Guilfoyle, and it sounds more a threat than a promise.

Works for me. 8/10

the idea about not giving police guns for non-violent situations. In theory, this sounds good, but then you have to remember that not all non-violent situations actually end that way. What are they to do when someone ends up grabbing a gun or knife and the situation escalates? They can't defend themselves from such a nutcase without weapons of their own.
With the fat budgets most police have, I'm very willing to wager that they'd have some form of hand-to-hand combat or defense training that covers disarming techniques (e.g, Kali/Escrima/Silat/Krav Maga).

I mean the people who 5 years ago would have been peaceful protesters. But today are instead deciding to bash windows and burn cop cars.
They've become more radical in their alignment and they're making those decisions because its been 6 years since Ferguson, and basically nothing has changed.
Hence the need to go back to square-1 and address the root of the problem.The very fact that they've become more radical in their alignment bares the consequences of inaction. These consequences are detrimental to society, to be sure, but what can be said about the matter other than "they had it coming since no significant change in relations happened?"
Real resolution starts when the roots are addressed. And a huge part of that root is the deliberate programming of law enforcement to carry out acts of violence without compunction.

^ - To speak nothing about decades of jurisprudence, too. How that can be turned on its head and just be declared unconstitutional one day is just staggering.
