Didnt want to press you to do that.

Just interested in making sure, their responsibility doesnt fall by the wayside, now - that they have banned some extremists from their services.

Because thats the issue of claiming social responsibility vs actually living it. For some reason thats important to me.
Oh you didn’t press me at all. I just finished updating my post and noticed you had responded. I think most people have much the same ethical code but few strongly about different ways of going about it. We all have civic duty but most do shirk their duties for personal responsibility. You should read about tribalism in politics. It’s depressingly sobering.

I doubt that. He already stated he is gonna build his own media. As much as i would like him nuked from earth we will have to deal with his shit for years to come.
I don't trust his word. With his name having lost all credibility and potential criminal charges on his head, not to mention how much shit his business is in, he'll run. What I think will happen however is he'll command his die hard fanbase to keep up with the trumpaganda, fake news and domestic terrorism with the hope of 'one day maybe I'll get my well-deserved second term and yada yada yada go smash some shit up for me'.

At this stage, I'd like to point out that the path of least resistance has shown itself in the country.

Corporations are stopping their funding of campaigns related to those that seek to unravel the Democracy of the United States.
This has snowballed into Politicians, who have been lifelong supporters of said Corporations, to have a voice and unite in its denunciation.

Of course not every Political problem is of this magnitude, but this should be an indicator of how to effectively communicate between the political divide and what leverages need to be activated.

Hopefully in the upcoming years more people utilise this causality, both in the rhetoric for change and in uniting to push forward major changes for the greater good.

Already sobered. Yet it still is important that new political ideas can be discussed in the public sphere. Also I'll probably die an ideolog, just always for the aspects of the system that arent profitable.

Or more simply put - I somehow still believe in what a Chris Hedges is currently saying (if he isnt painting his personal dystopia), although I should just go with Chomsky and see him as what his role is system wise - namely to provide the most extreme opinion - we still allow to exist in debate, but never - ever act on.

also seems treason is the only crime that prevents a person able to vote or hold any office any level of government now i wonder if he pardons those terrorist from the capitol insurgence could he be charged with treason after leaving office? part two of the definition of treason is rendering aide (in this case a pardon) to a enemy of the union
You mean like the BLM terrorists trying to remove law enforcement?

I am so Proud of the GOP, It's because of their "Winning" Strategy
1. Why rush?
2. BLM did it, too
3.Compare his speech to a Klan speech.
That Strategy led Donald J TRUMP to be Impeached for a 2nd time (with Republican support)lolol

"I'm UltraSUPRA, and I believe the definition of terrorism is the reallocation of government funds through legal means."
"I also accuse peaceful protestors of terrorism, even though basically every instance of their protests turning violent was due to instigation from either the police (which proves their point) or a counter-protester acting on nearly the exact same views I hold (which invalidates mine). And for good measure, I turn a blind eye to actual, dictionary-definition domestic terrorism in the form of an attempted coup, because it was attempted for a reason I agree with.
I'm UltraSUPRA, and thanks for coming to my TED Talk."

This is great! When does he leave?
This was just the House vote. Next comes a trial in the Senate and a vote to convict. If that passes, he's removed from office and can be criminally charged for the same thing (incitement of insurrection). Carries with it a sentence of up to ten years in prison, which would undoubtedly be the rest of his life.

Trump keeps making history, with all the losses he keeps getting.
Between getting his ass handed to him in a loss so strong it turned Georgia blue (and by Obama's former VP, which will do wonders for his Obama inferiority complex) and losing basically everything he possibly can (supporters, money, company backing, dozens of court cases, all his social media accounts and other outlets to spew his hatred and his last shred of sanity), this is rough as fuck for him and I am LOVING it!

Trump = The biggest Loser!
"I'm a big loser. A great one, really. I know more about losing than anyone. I've lost many times, bigger and bigger losses. I'm the best loser, best loser in the room, maybe ever. The biggest loser."

So it's okay to impeach Trump over inciting violence when the actual violence was tame compared to the BLM Protests. It's great to see the Liberals selective minds at work as a riot where people ransack offices is far worse then you know, burning down black owned businesses and injuring/murdering hundreds.

The Liberals simply ignore the BLM riots and are acting like what the Conservatives did is some big crime. I just think Congress is butt hurt because they came to their front door and the whole lot of them ran and hid like little bitches.

Though, a moved podium, a few broken windows and some ransacked offices pale in to arson, murder, looting, destruction of property, etc ... all of which took place hundreds of times last year by BLM and Antifa. Liberal hypocrite much?

I wonder how Trump must be feeling right now... Oh yeah, he has no twitter.... Loser!

Losers losing communication, huh... Wonder whatever happened to that guy with the burner account. Not a peep from him today, certainly not in the last few minutes- a pity. I miss him. Made me look real smart in comparison.

I've watched two short interviews of Biden before becoming president, and his immigration policies are basically: Undo what Trump did.

Regardless of what political side you align with, borders are necessary so that people from abroad can be verified if he/she is eligible to enter the country. In a sense, your country is your home, so a border is a door in itself and if that door is removed, then anyone could theoretically enter.

Also, I read that the amount of questions to have the U.S. citizenship increased from 10 to 20 and I agree with that. People should know the country's history if they want to join.

Lastly, let's see what Biden does so if he sticks to his word then you know he's a man of his word, for whatever that's worth.

    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
