  • Also looking in from the outside, it seems obvious to me that the ‘plan’ is to manufacture sufficient crises and push people just enough that Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act and “indefinitely delay” the midterms and future elections.

    What I really don’t get is, this one man seems to have total unchecked power? Americans go on and on about being ‘free’, not having a king, but their president has more power than any UK prime minister or modern king has ever had, and it goes completely unchecked. Recently in the UK, both Boris Johnson and Liz Truss (our UK-equivalent populist grifters) were ousted from the government for overreaching and lying, but there’s nothing to deal with Trump? How the heck has the US gotten in this situation? You would’ve expected the democrats to put checks in place to stop this, given Trump’s insurrection.

    I just. don’t. get it.



  • Israeli forces would be expected to do this in order to uphold the government’s blockade, and the flotilla crew would know that before going in (that’s why they had prerecorded messages ready). That doesn’t make it any less awful, but they accepted this risk.

    But if this goes sour for Thunberg, it’s going to be a global shitstorm that might finally break through the Israel defenders. I hope nothing happens to the crew and they’re returned safely, and I hope this brings more publicity to what’s occurring.


  • The studio ditched Roiland as soon as the game was released. He only voiced one gun if I recall (the main one), but wasn’t involved in production or writing at all except for a bit of improv presumably.

    He also had no involvement in the dlc and the gun he voiced didn’t feature.

    The original game had many other guns with many other voices from other, more famous comedians.

    Don’t think there’s as much “drama” here as the internet wants there to be. The studio got a clean break from him as soon as it could, and it seems to be going fine.
