The year is 2065. E. Jean Carroll is the richest human alive. She rules a business empire that stretches across the globe and even to Mars. This empire does not charge for services, sell products or even take investor funding.

Its only source of revenue is suing the immortal cyborg that is Donald Trump, who even after 40 years of taking Ls is still pathologically unable to keep his fucking mouth shut.

The good news is that Biden isn't even a forgetful old man. The media just takes every normal slip up he makes and runs it non-stop.

Because Jack Dorsey is obsessed with the same "free speech absolutism" that Elon Musk is, and he's butter that people don't want to be shown Nazi propaganda, hate speech, and all that other shit on his platforms.

Dorsey is an idiot, just like Musk. Don't let their money fool you.

If Elon Musk had had the misfortune to be poor, he would have been institutionalized by now. But since he's rich, the media just fawns over all his whacko bullshit.

Warcraft 2 was actually a really great game. If Warcraft 3 and StarCraft never came out and utterly eclipsed it, it would have been an all timer. Warcraft 1 was also good, but inferior to 2 in basically every way and never got time to shine.

Witcher 1 was incredibly tough to play through, but Witcher 2 was great.

I would rather have an actual orange baboon as president than Donald Trump.

Man... Years ago, I started doing a bit with my friends where I joked that having sex with women was super gay and the only way to protect your manhood was to get off by swordfighting other men. Now these lunatics have gone so far into the deep end that they're doing my bit unironically! I think someone needs to recalibrate the simulation because something is broken.

Technically, no. The Constitution says "the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government," but "republican" has historically been very loosely interpreted. Technically, China and North Korea are both republics.

Only the Senate gets to block appointments like that, and Democrats control the Senate.

The US government also did time travel so that Obama could kill Kennedy.

I would say she did this to fundraise off of being a victim, but that would require a degree of foresight that I don't think she possesses.

The US has won against guerrillas before. They won in the Philippines and had mostly won in Iraq before the Iraqi government pissed off their Sunni minority and ISIS spilled over from Syria. The US also crushed the Viet Cong during the Tet Offensive and most of the war after that was fought by regular North Vietnamese Army units not VC guerrillas.

Most insurgencies fail Max Boot wrote a book called Invisible Armies where he analyzed insurgencies throughout the 20th century and determined that only about a quarter of them succeeded and more than half failed outright. Not only that, many of the successful ones took place in the context of colonization and the Cold Warz where they had weak imperial opponents, super power backers, or both.

Yeah, this happened in Denver, which is a blue city in a blue state. No reason the Dems couldn't get her if they wanted. I still expect no charges, though.

Well part of the problem is that there isn't total agreement on what a republic is. By some definitions it's basically anything that isn't a monarchy. Some medieval republics didn't have elections and instead chose their officials by sortition, which is essentially a lottery. China and North Korea do have elections, but they're total shams (and North Korea is basically a monarchy is a thin coat of republican paint, since by law they can't have any leader that isn't descended from Kim Il Sung).

Do you think that the Chinese even bothered with the high tech spy gadgets? You could learn basically anything from him if you booked a dinner at his stupid golf club and told him his hands were bigly. Maybe throw in a badly shopped nude of his daughter if you want the real heavy stuff.

Definitely. Expecting to live after calling off the coup was the stupid move here. He crossed the Rubicon when he seized Rostov. After that, it was win or die and he ruled out winning. It wasn't hard to figure out what would happen next.

Maybe, though, it’s enough to get the coroner to take another look at his death.

He's a high profile corporate whistleblower who allegedly committed suicide. Any coroner who isn't already triple checking everything is way too corrupt or lazy to bother with another look.

It's in Florida, the state that outlawed water breaks for construction workers. I'm surprised they have any laws left that aren't just "obey your landlord/employer or die."

Gerrymandering, structural advantages, etc. the same as it's always been.

Hello, airplanes? It's blimps, you win!
