So what'll the reasoning end up being here? Arsonist protecting their own handiwork? Brain damaged older gentleman fending off "trespassers?"

Would that bit about yelling out in Mandarin count as perfidy?

I haven't powered on my switch in years, but when I used it, 99% of the time it was docked with a TV, so the battery life and screen didn't matter to me. I would think that's the best setup for family gaming anyway.

The cartridge/download code is a step down in ownership of your games, but that's been a lost battle for years. Steam is widely seen as the standard for gaming, and you are only buying a conditional license when you buy a game on that platform, you don't own those either. This change only really matters if you, personally, rip games from disks/cartridges.

American employers don't even give you this anymore. You are escorted away by security and someone else empties your shit into a box and hands it to you in the lobby. They are very afraid of sabotage.

If red states had to support themselves without any federal money, they would be failed states on the level of Somalia within a decade. They already suck with federal money.

Conservative fiscal policy is anathema to success.

She first came in as a student in 78 but applied for asylum later. And that kind of thing can take a long time to process, years even.

To put it more directly, accepting her request would be a tacit admission that US foreign policy made Iran a more dangerous place, not by accident, but as a side effect of its success.

Likely because her reasoning and fears were at odds with our geopolitics. It'd be like us accepting South Korean refugees for their fear of North Korean reprisal...if North Korea had largely been subsumed and the war was over for several years.

An unjust peace is no peace at all.

I'd think he loses sleep over the idea that someone so powerful doesn't answer to him, the ~~Supreme Leader~~ President of the United States. So he wants to correct it.

It ends when a lot of them are dead, or all of us are dead.

It is becoming glaringly obvious that the purpose the Democratic Party serves for at least the last two decades is to quash any progressive aspiration. If they learn anything, it will be that they need to stomp down harder.

On that note, if this guy manages to actually win the election he is going to be murdered. Fascism will be too far along and he does not have the unwavering support of the NYPD to protect him. In fact they are the most likely party to orchestrate it.
