    Election results discussion thread (and sadly the inevitable aftermath)

    Unknown, but signs overall point to "yes," though how smoothly he goes out to door remains to be seen. The GSA finally called Biden the apparent winner and, while top Republicans are keeping their mouths shut on the result of the election, it's kind of clear to everybody that Biden had a fairly...

    Biden's Cabinet of Curiosities

    She's not the only person that provides those options (the Joint Chiefs tend to be that group when it involves direct force), though she is the person who would effectively be the point person for the intelligence community in the White House. And, not gonna lie, callousness is part of the...

    Election results discussion thread (and sadly the inevitable aftermath)

    Biden clearly won. Trump is refusing to concede. Almost every legal challenge they've been making has been tossed out in court as unsubstantiated and the ones that remain are effectively pending dismissal. Biden's been working on the transition, though without the usual GSA assistance and more...

    Biden's Cabinet of Curiosities

    Considering the track record of DNI under Trump, still an improvement. DNI is also an odd position by the nature of its position. There needs to be a strong tie between the appointee and the intel community because the Director essentially acts as the broker for all 16 main US intelligence...

    Yes and no. Yes: they represent you in court and argue your best case that they are willing to sign on for. No: There are ethical constraints that effectively require a lawyer to not just make the argument that the client wants, but the one that he believes is legally permissible and based in...

    Monkey Paw thread

    In order for this to occur, the machines take over and put everyone in their own little virtual reality where nothing they say can be heard by anybody. I wish I had the unaging immortal body of a fit cis 25 year-old woman.

    Monkey Paw thread

    They start to use the racist messaging, so China just decides to take over the world just to make everywhere China. Life under the totalitarianism of Xi Jingping is brutal for most white Americans, but surprisingly tolerable for the rest of us... I wish we had FTL space travel at an economic cost.

    Election results discussion thread (and sadly the inevitable aftermath)

    So... with the caveat that I did not click the link, transitions actually do cost money as they have personnel and logistical requirements. Normally this is a line item in the GSA budget that is released as part of transition operations. But the administration is not cooperating with...

    Election results discussion thread (and sadly the inevitable aftermath)

    I think people underestimate how much people are uncomfortable changing systems they're used to into something that they are unfamiliar with even when they're not super satisfied with the current system (see: pretty much any time there's a healthcare debate). Hell, it was only after Governor...

    Movie Ideas You'd Love To See

    Technically, the hand bursting was cut from the release. And while I think you could replace the actor, I think a digital cameo would be a better option given how the series kind of went on hiatus and I'm not even sure any of the other actors would be on board...

    Steppenwolf and Darkside revealed for the Snyder Cut, look like shitposts

    This looks like it's going to be a disaster. One everyone's getting a paycheck for, but still a disaster.. Which reminds me, how's that Avengers Game going? *checks news.* Oh... uh... forget I said anything...

    Movie Ideas You'd Love To See

    A sequel to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Gimme some of that steampunk Avengers... Yes, Sean Connery is dead, but there's nothing that requires his character to be there in the lore.

    The Autopsy

    (Didn't watch the linked video as I watched the RTwithBM video when it came up in my YT feed and am generally not a fan of YT political commentators as they're more often than not 1 step above InfoWars). For those looking for what I feel was a better version of the same conversation, The Daily...

    Surprise, President-elect doesn't want criminal investigations of a sitting President

    Potentially, but if he really wanted to rule it out, all he would have to do is say so, as any statement one way or another would kill said investigations. You're just reading in a conspiracy where you have no evidence other than your own fantasies. In the same way that the president can order...
