Nah, they have a playbook for this. They'll put him on house arrest and trot him out every couple of years to make a speech about how terrible and corrupt the US is.

claiming they undermine family values.

Oh really? And exactly which values are those? Perhaps that women should obey their husbands commands and be glorified slaves? They can't very well say that quite part out loud yet now can they. That would actually cost them some votes they really can't afford.

Should check out the Gulikit controllers. Not only do they not suffer from stick drift, they're the same form factor as an Xbox controller but without the MS bullshit. Was just using one in Linux not even an hour earlier.

Isn't FIFA widely regarded as one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet? I mean, the article isn't wrong, but that ship sailed a long time ago, it's a bit late to be acting like this is bombshell news.

Poe's law strikes again? I do agree it seems very obviously sarcastic, but the MAGAts do seem to score a lot of own goals as well so I can see the potential for confusion.

What an absolute joke of a propaganda piece. China might qualify as a threat, but as has been amply shown recently Russia is a paper tiger. A tiny nation armed with hand me down retired military hardware has not only fought them to a standstill but actually pushed back into their own territory and this piece would have us believe they're some kind of military juggernaut poised to crush the US military.

This is also ignoring the strained ties between Russia and China lately and the close economic ties between the US and China. The US and China might not exactly be friendly with each other, but also can't really afford to be enemies. Russia on the other hand only exports oil, an increasingly devalued resource, and one that is readily available from multiple other countries.

The specific issue with heat protection is that some counties were trying to pass legislation to provide better heat protection, and the state government preempted that effort by passing legislation banning counties from making heat protection legislation.

This will be the plot of Oceans 14.

They should have just committed to the bit and demanded a googolplex of rubles from Google.
