A president is now a dictator.

One who can murder at will to retain power. This, thanks to the illegitimate Supreme Court

"With fear for our democracy, I dissent."
Justice Sotomayor's scathing remarks:

“Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law… “Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.”

    Evan Hurst announces that he's responding to Trump's historic felony conviction (guiltyguiltyguilty – 34 times) and the tantrum his followers are now throwing by launching a new blog called The Moral High Ground.

    About that tantrum, he writes,

    "These people are desperate for society to respect them, to love them, to think they’re smart, to think they have something to offer, something to teach, something to add to the culture."

    @wdlindsy @bmacDonald94 If you want to win a culture war, start with a culture that has a respectable veneer—and whatever you do, don’t reveal the dog shit that festers underneath.

    MICROSOFT: Wait, I can explain!

    GOOGLE: You spy through the whole OS?? I only spy on the web.

    APPLE: Your users know that you're spying?

    LINUX: You guys are spying?

    You ever go back to re-watch a classic film you hadn't seen since childhood, only to discover you'd NEVER seen it in its entirety, just bits of it over the years?

    Anyway I just watched James Whale's Frankenstien for the first time.

    I think I had seen its sequel originally as a kid, and conflated the two.

    The humanity this scene gives the Monster is just amazing for the time.
    Dr. Frankenstein about to find out what it feels like to “be a God".
    Torches and pitch-forks. Hope nobody needed that windmill for anything important.

    @vampiress Yes! I wanted to watch Rambo Part 1, which doesn’t exist. It’s called First Blood. Holy hell, it’s nothing like the adrenaline fueled sequels. It was amazingly good. The sequels are almost like parodies of the original.

    “No trees. Help.”

    “Time travel to 2012.”

    “That fixed it. Why?”

    “Uh, don’t ask…”

    Dogfight 1942 asy ~ 7• 31 Jul, 2014 g 4:18pm Cant see the trees How i can fix this? i cant see the trees. comankh ~ 1 Aug, 2014 @ 12:05pm set your computers date back to 2012 asy ~ * 1 Aug, 2014 @ 4:18pm thank u very mutch, it works:) aguswings - * 21 Aug, 2014 © 3:10pm how come this help? asy ~ * 21 Aug, 2014 @ 3:12pm yes it works, works for me:) Jakub Majewski (Quarto) ~ * 22 Aug, 2014 © 8:16am] Uh, don't ask :). It's due to some kind of mess-up in the code. We used an external "plugin", called Speedtree, to display trees in Dogfight 1942. For whatever reason, if the game detects the date is later than 2012, it decides that the Speedtree license is invalid, so the trees don't show up. We don't really know why this is the case, and as I've explained in another thread, there isn't anybody from the team left at City Interactive who could produce a patch, so the bug's here to stay.

    The police showed up and pointed a gun at the man on fire.

    @futurebird The most terrifying four words in the English language: The cops are here.
