I loved Odyssey, but sneaking up behind enemies to take them out is basically my favorite thing to do in a game and hoo boy is there a lot of it to do there.

Nope. How many times has Fox News had former President George W Bush on their shows? Trump would probably end up calling in for a one hour rant every day anyway, because he's an attention whore. But Fox news itself? They suck up to the Republicans in power, and if you're not in power, then they all but ignore you.

Trump, unlike Bush, loves being on TV more than anything else in the world

Please note that this clip is taken out of context; Biden is here lamenting that fact in the context of violence against women: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/mar/26/joe-biden-anita-hill-hearings-race-gender

Later in his Tuesday remarks, Biden called on Americans to change the culture that dates back centuries and allows pervasive violence against women. Its an English jurisprudential culture, a white mans culture. Its got to change, Biden said.

With just over a year left in President Donald Trump's first term, another late-breaking news item barely made waves: The Interior Department which manages the majority of the federal government's public lands deleted "sexual orientation" from its anti-discrimination guidelines, as HuffPost first reported last week. The removal was just the latest in a nearly three-year-long effort to strip mention of LGBTQ people from the executive branch bureaucracy.

Reports of such changes began the day Trump assumed office, when LGBTQ content was deleted from the White House, State Department and Labor Department websites within "minutes" of his having been sworn into office, according to GLAAD, a national LGBTQ advocacy group.

Since then, drip by drip, other parts of the federal government have had their online content trimmed to omit mention of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people.

But last week, the Interior Department's public response to the change raised eyebrows. Carol Danko, a spokesperson, reportedly said the department was following the Obama-era guidance that found that federal civil rights laws protect LGBTQ people.

"Per the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, under Title VII the term 'sex' includes gender, gender identity, transgender status, sexual orientation and pregnancy," Danko said, according to HuffPost.

Danko's response highlights the central tension in the Trump administration's LGBTQ policy: Even as Trump's Justice Department is arguing before the Supreme Court that the Obama-era EEOC guidance is incorrect, other departments are using the guidance to swat away media inquiries about why LGBTQ mentions are being stripped from federal anti-discrimination guidance.

Compounding the confusion, LGBTQ advocates sued to see Justice Department LGBTQ policy documents and a Justice Department employee resource group complained in an open letter about discrimination in the department. Soon after, in April, Attorney General William Barr demonstrated support for the Justice Department's many LGBTQ employees, even as he directed the effort to dismantle federal LGBTQ protections before the Supreme Court.

I don't play online all that much. I've had some okay experiences in Forza Horizon 4, and some laggy experiences in Smash
