the real problem with the term "euroshmup" is that it's redundant. we already had a perfectly fine term for games with great art and music and absurdly terrible gameplay, they're called "amiga games"

Only 70?

FFS, has nobody in The West Wing ever seen "The West Wing" ? What if we recreate the worst press liaison ever from that episode of "never do this with the press corp" ? Although, to be fair, in the fictional story the press corp actually asked real questions with smart follow up so might be OK

Why not? There are certainly enough clowns in the circus shit show.

President Donald Trump is weighing relying again on a rotating cast of Cabinet officials to handle press briefings for an indefinite period following the departure of press secretary Karoline Leavitt later this month, three sources familiar with the planning told CNN. https://cnn.it/4qmjAHm

President Trump said the U.S. would handle Oman “very easily” if it interferes in a potential deal over control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Check the diesel shelf! (via Prandelli) ⛽️

On Friday, President Donald Trump swatted down a question on the record-breaking deployment of the USS Lincoln, telling a reporter the ship hasn’t been deployed “nearly long enough” despite concerns from family members of sailors who report deteriorating conditions on the ship.

This only furthers my conspiracy theory that Dropout is going to be getting the rights to Taskmaster US. I *need* to hear Brian David Gilbert say "all the information is on the task". This is critical to my mental and emotional wellbeing.

Trump was still president a year ago so I don't know what kind of lie this is even supposed to be

i know lots of people thinks fox news lies about everything, and you’re not wrong when it comes to their commentary, but this kind of bald-faced, do not believe your own lying eyes shit is a lot worse than it used to be

Fox News graphic claims falsely that the average price of gas one year ago was $4.13, lower than it is right now. It was actually $3.14!

Trump on making the Strait of Hormuz a US territory: "I like the idea. We have total control over the strait."

I am once again begging everyone to remember that in 99% of cases, by the time you reach an "out of court settlement," your case is already IN court and your lawyer has been to court many (sometimes dozens) of times.

Trump just once again downplayed and dismissed concerns regarding the USS Lincoln.

I both hate and kind of love the fact that the United States is currently conducting war exactly like a first-time Hearts of Iron IV save

Breaking news: President Trump's memorandum with Iran, which was supposed to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, has expired after a 60-day negotiation period. The U.S. has resumed its blockade and broader negotiations have stalled.

60 days after signing Iran deal, Trump stuck in quagmire as peace talks stall

The only answer he ever has about why he is favoring North Korea over our ally South Korea is that Kim Jong Un personally likes him, as if that is a good thing or even true.
