True, but I was referring to when Trump declares martial law, as he said he would. There will be no opposition from his own party as there was here.

Military. They said they're not leaving until the president stops declaring martial law.

I haven't played it since they were added, so I'm not sure myself. Maybe this will help. If you have an Xbox maybe it's similar?

I had the same reaction, and looked it up to learn that consoles do indeed have curated mods that can be used. The one I wanted to use the most, expanding the number of party members that can be controlled in battle, is there, so I might just have to do another playthrough...

Or has it?

The South Korean military says it will maintain martial law until it is lifted by President Yoon Suk Yeol, despite the nation's parliament voting to block its enforcement, according to the country's national broadcaster.

She has way more power and influence compared to Bernie.

I don't see how, since she's a failed candidate and the VP of a lame duck president. You're not wrong that she could at least make an attempt to have some sort of message of resistance, but even if she did it wouldn't have any practical effect. Milquetoast centrist is milquetoast.

Ooh, not great. Preview of the US in January? Except for the blocking part, that'd never happen.

Apparently, yes, they respected it.

The military personnel that had been in the building earlier have now departed - but the representatives say they will stay put in case of an attempt to disband the parliament.

EDIT: Aaand they're not gone.

Accurate. Officially, there's a wall, but in practice, church and state go around the side of it constantly.

You mean like he said he would? It will be very, very bad.

It's a Carlin quote. Cynics are cynics because they cared and society let them down.

Democracy just voted to end democracy. It doesn't work when the public is uninformed.

Yup. "Doomed to repeat it." We're repeating it.

Yup. He'll sign anything they put in front of him.

Bernie is in a position where he actually does something. Vice President is a bench-warming position with no real power.

"Scratch any cynic and you'll find a disappointed idealist."

Why is a toaster the small electrical appliance of choice for that kind of thing? Good voltage/size ratio?

Biden, who time and again pledged to Americans that he would restore norms and respect for the rule of law after Trump’s first term in office, ultimately used his position to help his son, breaking his public pledge to Americans that he would do no such thing.

...after Americans voted that norms and respect for the rule of law don't mean shit. Fuck 'em, I would have done the same thing.

American voters threw it all away and said that ethics don't mean shit. He acted accordingly. Fair enough.

Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck
