Their biases have become so obvious, even though they all try to be Walter Cronkite. Anything important enough will make its way to other platforms. Best to gather facts yourselves and leave the filtered crap to... no one.

Gotta start swaying those massive guns side to side. Believe that is how the oversized arms guys distract from their spindly legs at the gym.

Lots of freedom in which order you do things/where you go. Not a "free-roamer" though. Believe each zone is a discrete map.

Sadly, the left is reduced to trying to force in someone like Newsom, only to see his grand promises stymied by SCOTUS Calvinball.

Not when it comes to pardons, certainly. Or anything related to foreign policy. Or anything that could arguably constitute "national security." Yeah, we're fucked.

Just gonna be more Calvinball nonsense. Mind reels at the abuses a president can commit when it comes to national security or foreign policy. Dark day indeed.

Remember committing thousands of troops to pointless deaths in Afghanistan? What did we ever accomplish there? Blech...

Also great that we ensure every federal judge is a broad-minded expert on a variety of technical topics. This is going to be a well-oiled machine.

Biden respected his hosts instead of bulldozing them, which made him look ineffectual. Hardly a banner night for anyone involved.

I remember it looking old even as a kid, but that was definitely a part of its charm. Cannot hear the word conjunction without thinking "what's your function."

Morris is the only modeler that consistently calls out obviously biased polling. This notion that "well, both sides do it, so let's just throw it all in the blender and see what happens" is so ridiculously naive. Silver in particular seems to want to build up his RW brand as much as possible.

Lol... All about maintaining their (internal) sense of objective superiority. The Nates REALLY want you to know that most likely if the election happened right now, which they repeatedly say is a meaningless conjecture, that Trump would win. "See everyone! We're neutral. NEUTRAL!!!!!"

All about courting working class voters with promises he has not intention of keeping. He knows that cohort won't become any kind of meaningful bloc. Empty promises and bullshit. Like how he said he would "protect" the LGTBQ+ community.

Doomers want to say this was all expected due to Republican non-response, but doesn't this say that is actually not an issue? Think it comes down to a bunch of well-informed people feeling a certain way about the possible outcome and construing willies with "being realistic about the polls."

Apparently lavish player facilities that can't keep anyone healthy. Apathy toward Morey's dithering. Not great at all.

Loved learning about how basically every single branch of the US military has its own intelligence service, none of them share information or like each other, and they all have godlike technological tools that only work if you point them in the precise location.

Kind of wondering if that type of camp will EVER come back in vogue, or if we are just stuck with unfunny romcoms and dark grizzled dramas forever more.

BioShock pretensions too, I thought. Your player character is a pretty enormous dickhead, so it makes the entire vibe really strange. Like he deserves to get stepped on by some faceless terminator Soviet cosplay androids.

Religious fanatics have historically been super chill once you start appeasing them. Not at all obsessed with forcing everyone around them to bend to their god's every whim, at least as they perceive them.

Can a bunch of highly paid executives who went to the best schools and know all the best people make incredibly stupid and short-sighted decisions? Yes. Absolutely. They do so far more frequently than they make good decisions.

Agree with the whole "I'll pay attention to the polls when they stop telling me RFK is getting 10% of the electorate" rule. Gonna be close, gonna come down to a few thousand votes in swing states, etc. etc.

Key is to never once attempt to justify his conduct, acting as if everything is being done TO him, and by extension them. They are simply passive actors being bombarded by all-powerful liberals endlessly attempting to persecute these beloved sons and daughters of God and Jesus or whatever.

Very telling which people consider fraudulent financial activity to be a "minor" offense. Lots of rich people commit fraud constantly and believe anyone holding them accountable would be "disruptive to society." The rule of law never meant shit to them except to punish the "unruly poor".

You need to win elections when openings can possibly come about, people. Failing to do so has consequences for decades, at the very least.

There haven't been many "new" newspaper comic strips in a long, long time. Watterson perfected it, and its been pretty much straight downhill since he retired.
