    Trump is winning

    Debatable, sure. But I'm not certain how the Founding Fathers fit into this. They were mostly remarkable men (even if a product on their time on some issues such as slavery) but they weren't prophets. The America you see today is not one they foresaw, but well, they lived 250 years ago. With the...

    Trump is winning

    Quote the part where I said everything was going on perfectly? Because I didn't. That some people abuse the system is not a reason to tear it all down. And in the case of the Natives, well, that's a generally much bigger problem than people abusing welfare. It's fucking easy to run a surplus at...

    Trump is winning

    A hundred years ago, when political mentalities were so far off from where we're at today that it might as well be in another reality altogether. Those were the times where the mentally handicaped were shoved into asylums to die, prisons were barely livable, poor people died in droves and/or...

    Trump is winning

    No, they weren't. Hitler was defeated at the 1932 presidential elections, then subsequently appointed Chancellor by Hindenburg's clique of old men who thought they could control him, and utterly failed at doing so. Anyhow, solid debate from both candidates this time around, Trump and Clinton...

    Tyranny Discussion Thread

    Well Durance was a pretty nasty bastard, given that he's a religious fanatic who once led pogroms against followers of Eothas. He's not big E evil, but I'd say he's little e evil. Personally, I prefer ruthless characters to evil ones. Thankfully, Tyranny looks like the perfect game to roleplay...

    Tyranny Discussion Thread

    I'm looking forward to thing, having loved Pillars of Eternity. The premise alone almost warrants a purchase if you ask me. However, this time around, I'm doing my best not to spoil myself regarding characters, mechanics, backstory, etc. I looked up Pillars too much and it slightly hurt my own...

    Trump is winning

    I'm kinda interested in what sort of polls made you draw those conclusions. Those I saw were pretty damning against Trump, albeit they were obviously pre-debate, but also before Trump started waging war on Republican establishment in earnest and tried to pretend his own, personal electoral base...

    Trump is winning

    I can't honestly say I'm surprised, but eh, opinions and asses right? Anyway, I can't see Trump winning now. I doubt he's going to lose by 8-10% like most polls suggest, but unless a massive twist of fate happens, there's just no way he can gain back lost ground. Way too many people hate him...

    Trump is winning

    It's not just one stupid comment made 11 years ago. That's one thing Clinton said that I actually agree with for once, it's the accumulation of confrontational statements addressed at many people who disagreed with him, from the woman who interviewed him to the Khan family or that one hispanic...

    Trump is winning

    I think you're stretching facts if you believe Trump proved himself anywhere near as much as Jackson did, because he's a rich guy that makes politically incorrect speeches. Or that the US needs an Andrew Jackson today, considering the vast differences between the country close to 200 years ago...

    Trump is winning

    At the risk of repeating myself, the guy who posts giant memes about grabbing Clinton's pussy doesn't really have a leg to stand on when calling other posts ''useless'', as far as I see it, and opinions contrary to yours aren't always ''false''.

    Trump is winning

    Because obviously anyone who doesn't have a shrine dedicated to worshiping Trump and posts memes of the man at every available opportunity is an idiot. This is simply part of the overly partisan bullshit that makes the American system what it is.

    Mafia III

    I honestly thought Infinite's story was pretentious. I mean, I liked Elizabeth and Booker well enough, but throwing all of the Columbia plotlines out of the window in favor of timey wimey BS didn't sit well with me, along with random shit like not-Plasmids being there basically just because it's...

    Trump is winning

    Gonna hand this one to Trump, he was far more prepared than for the first debate and it showed. Clinton was far worse on the defensive this time around. I actually get what she tried to say when she justified her leaked speech (as in, politicians always have to keep their agenda hidden to a...

    Trump is winning

    Errr, yes, shedloads of people did. I still remember it, and I was 14. You mass protests across the world, including the USA, and so on. Far more protests than for Russia's invasion as I recall. As for what Trump said in 2006, yeah that's really reaching (no pun intended). I mean, that Trump is...

    Trump is winning

    Yeah, we should build a wall to keep them out, and make Trump pay for it. I mean, at least he's rich enough to be able to.

    Trump is winning

    ''He may end up breaking his word and then not doing something stupid'' doesn't seem like a great reason to vote for someone. Also, I'm not sure about Trump's idea to make USA allies pay for NATO and the US bases established on their soil. Wouldn't be surprised if lots of countries refuse to...

    Trump is winning

    I'm not talking about the morality of it all, jeez. Yes, Clinton's emails are shady shit. She went through a half-dozen investigations and subcomitees for it last I checked, some headed by political enemies, that cleared her of criminal charges. What is there to say at this point? She made a...

    Trump is winning

    She answered the question as she should have answered. She said it was a mistake and took responsibility for it on stage; it really, really wasn't the place for her to elaborate. That's what Trump should have done, instead of hilariously trying to spin his mistake into a positive because ''I got...

    Trump is winning

    All of this. He was baited, and fell for it head-first. By comparison, when questionned about the e-mails, Clinton just went ''I made a mistake, I take responsibility for it, done.'' She closed the door. Don't be on the defensive and open yourself to more prodding and questions. Trump could have...
