Maybe because there’s usually not even a perceptible difference in visual quality between the two and a very noticeable performance difference.

My Durge run has been pretty fun. Cut off Gail’s hand when he was reaching out of that rock and never had to deal with him again. So that was cool.

Not just ads, but also unactionable anaphylaxis! It’s a steal really.

He’s definitely like actually supposed to be president in a GTA game. Somehow he’s just in the real world fucking confused, spouting shit that’d go over great if he was on a GTA talk radio show.

I think it’s fine considering he specified conservative christian tankie. Like they’re the conservative version of pro-authoritarian.

Or they are and this is just it.

Its completely baffling to me that anyone takes Republicans seriously. All they do is obstruct any and all legislation so that nothing can ever get done. And once someone actually manages to help people through legislation they try to spin it like somehow feeding kids is a bad thing.

At this point I’m pretty convinced ‘republican’ is a mental illness.

“If you don’t support the rights of these imperialistic fascist regimes to do imperialistic and fascist things then you are an imperialist and a fascist.”

Yeah okay. Sure.

I honestly think it’s more accurate to say Republican voters reflect their party’s will (or more accurately Trump’s will). Trump can say and do anything and Maga voters will fall in line behind him no matter what. Even if what he says or does goes against what Republicans have historically been in favor of. Like when he sunk Nafta for his own terrible plan. He runs a cult of personality and the republican party had to either nominate him or be abandoned by their enflamed base.

Dems should have absolutely nominated Bernie. But if Bernie started spouting hateful rhetoric like Trump does he wouldn’t have a base anymore.

I can just taste the fumble and 90+ yard run back Touchdown.

Because surrounding oneself with incompetent loyalists has never gone wrong for a dictator before…

Right next to the crosses. Perfect. Right where it belongs.

I mean, I clearly didn’t mean he had a guilty judgment against him and the word guilty doesn’t necessarily always imply legally guilty. But fine. For semantic’s sake, He’s not “guilty”, but he did in fact violate the presidential records act. It was just decided that he wouldn’t be prosecuted because it was a just a small oversight. Which, to be clear, is a decision I agree with.

Thank you for providing that context. Good to know the situation is even dumber than I thought.

This is my understanding of the situation so please don’t fully take my word for it.

Garland refused to fully cooperate with a subpoena issued to him by rebublicans. (specifically he refused to hand over audio from an interview of Biden in his classified documents investigation) Garland refused to cooperate because Biden told him not to cooperate. Republicans in congress then voted to find him in contempt of congress and wanted the DOJ to prosecute him. The DOJ then came through saying he didn’t do anything wrong because he just did what Biden told him to do. And being part of biden’s administration it’s only normal to do what the president asks.

If we want to go back even further iirc there was a special council investigation into Biden regarding a handful of documents found at biden’s home from the Obama administration. Biden apologized saying he forgot that he had those docs. He handed those docs over to investigators and fully cooperated with them. That whole situation ended with special investigators finding that Biden didn’t do anything malicious and just forgot to relinquish (I think it was literally 3) those docs when he left office in 2016. That should have been the end of it. Republicans then drudged things up and wanted his interview from that investigation. Presumably to make it look like Biden was guilty of the same crimes trump is guilty of.

Technically speaking though Biden is guilty of violating the presidential records act. The same act trump is/was being tried for in his classified documents case. The difference being that Trump willfully took boxes upon boxes of documents pertaining to our national security secrets to Mar-a-Lago when he left office and then refused to cooperate with the FBI when they called him out for it. This then forced the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago to get the documents back. Biden on the other hand was just old and forgot about some work he took home. When he was called out about it he fully cooperated and gave the documents back.

See, your mistake was driving in Maryland. It’s Mad Max out here.

Steve bannon looks like the result of a teleportation experiment gone awry. now he’s started his metamorphosis into a half man half totalled 1998 Chevy Silverado monstrosity.

I can be both mad that this data isn’t public record and that the BATFE aren’t doing their jobs.

I would disagree that there’s zero reason for this data to be public record. I’d agree with you if we were just shielding individuals who are purchasing like one handgun or something. That’s something that I don’t think is anyone else’s business. But if a dude is buying 95 semi-automatic rifles in a short period of time you bet your ass I think that should be public knowledge. No one should be able to secretly purchase enough firearms to arm a small militia.

Per the linked article.

“Gun trace data is kept out of public view by a rider to a Congressional bill known as the “Tiahrt Amendment,” passed in 2003 to shield gun shops from scrutiny. Each year, the ATF provides a count of the guns recovered in Mexico that had been bought in the U.S., with no further details.”

Nothing to do with the Mexican govt. The US govt passed a law in 2003 to prevent gun sale data from being public record. This includes sales of firearms eventually used in armed conflicts in Mexico.

American here.

No fucking clue. I’m as surprised as you are. Seriously wtf?
