I also think that children should not be left alone at home until they are mature enough to handle a gun.

| Topic | Trump commuted Roger Stone's sentence. |
| Nichtcrawler X 07/11/20 4:56:00 PM #41 | Zeus posted... Overlooking that the originating investigation revolved around a knowingly false allegation (and thus was illegitimate), the charges you cite are inordinately broad (thus open to massive amounts of room for interpretation -- thus leading them to be used punitively) and arbitrarily applied. Compare that to actual textbook corruption which involves something concrete. And bear in mind that many Trump associates had earlier been investigated and charged with things that were political norms, such as meeting with foreign diplomats before the incoming president took office -- something that Obama's staffers did, I believe GWB's staffers did, and Clinton's staffers did, among others. The real corruption is the perversion of the justice system to pursue partisan (ie, political) agendas, yet you're unlikely to ever see convictions there. Unless I am misinterpreting what is being said, simplifying things, he got convicted for "helping Trump", then got pardoned by Trump. That sounds like a serious conflict of interest to me. --- Official Teetotaller of PotD Dovie'andi se tovya sagain! |

Her political standings, even if more right than my own, make sense to me and not a bad direction for the US to go in. The US responding to her like they were John Lithgow in Footloose I just found hilarious. (Left leaning, good looking, my age, can dance, none of those are problematic in my eyes) Zeus posted... If you mean Warren -- who stands side-by-side with Bernie on a lot of issues and is certainly a prominent force on the left -- she's not terribly ridiculed... well, except by Trump, but that's Trump.

| Nichtcrawler X 07/06/20 9:33:44 PM #35 | Zeus posted... Or just watch Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. No Zeus, War in the Pocket would not make the sense it should stand-alone. It kinda emphasizes the main weakness of UC Gundam, it only really has one entry point, the original show or the compilation movies, but those are old and not as easy to come across. Unicorn, kinda works as an entry, as it brings a lot of the history as lore and not as back-story. In a sense, what I would suggest is to watch either form of the original and then it opens up, as long as Double Zeta is watched after Zeta and CCA is watched after Zeta or both. 0083 is funny that watching it in chronological or release order would quite change the ending. (And Narrative after Unicorn, but even that is quite a bit after what most people consider the main part of the UC) Also, both F91 and Victory are part of the UC, but take place so much later that they are mostly stand-alone. With the sequel to CCA on the horizon, now would actually be a great time to get into the UC. --- Official Teetotaller of PotD Dovie'andi se tovya sagain! |

| Nichtcrawler X 07/06/20 6:56:55 PM #50 | Zareth posted... India would get slaughtered. Nobody has the balls to stand against China and basically tank their entire economy. India is also unique in that it has no unified identity beyond political power/influence. Modern India only exists because past governments strongly held on to the power that was given to them by the British. It may be one of the 4 largest countries, but I would think it is also the one to most easily fall apart and of course its government would do anything to prevent that. Edit: I worded it like that because I thought those 4 were China, India, Russia and the USA, but apparently I am mistaken in that... --- Official Teetotaller of PotD Dovie'andi se tovya sagain! |
