Depressingly unsurprising. Up there with viewing being opposed as proof that they’re right.

It does to me, too, (but they’re being sarcastic here, of course.)

“Don’t tax the church, they provide charity to the needy. It’s the community’s job to provide for the less fortunate, not the government’s.”

Why would he be sad? I thought that was the point. What better way to distract from the other distractions?

You’re right, more direct action is necessary. Where do you want to meet and what should I bring?

The worst and most insidious part is that having the ability to defend yourself and affect the world around you are still the most effective ways to maintain sovereignty enough for self-determination, so there’s a wicked kernel of truth around which layer upon layer of lies, half-truths, and certain-point-of-view justifications are wrapped.

What we were buying was safety and stability, but what we were sold came bundled with as much fine print as the American public can stomach, which is a lot, as it turns out. All you have to say is that we have to attack them to prevent them from retaliating for attacking them and that’s enough.

I really thought we made strides in shaping the military into a more thoughtful force during my tenure in the wake of OIF/OEF so it’s doubly disheartening to see it’s all just coming back to business as usual.

Very good point. I definitely moved over in protest of Plex’s rug pull, so fuck them.

Congrats, I love me a good Silent shiv deck. I’ve been enjoying playing on Ascension 1, but I also don’t care to challenge the game just yet.

What are your favorite combos with each of the characters? There are so many good ones!

I believe that’s something that the White House has said, to lend more credence to its supposed importance

It’s common phrasing for somebody being made fun of. I assume that since the correspondence dinner has recently been a sort of roast of the administration by the press that she was using it in the “being targeted by jokes” sense, but who fucking knows anymore.
