I could get one for Zelda purposes and then just kinda let it sit for a while until the next thing comes out, that's what you do with Nintendo consoles

Still playing Torment though and after that I have a hacked 3DS full of content I missed over the years which I still haven't gotten much mileage out of yet

I realized recently that one could play every single numbered Dragon Quest game on a hacked 3DS...if one were so inclined.

"we are blocking your supreme court nom for an entire year lol"
"still we better not use the filibuster, we have it against Trump's pick"
"the filibuster is gone, lol"

I have 4-9 on mine and have played 8 in its entirety and approx 20 minutes each of 4 and 7. I'll get back to them eventually.

DQ4 is cool so far but you can tell its DS port is a really early DS game because they had no loving idea what to do with two screens and just sort of made them one big portrait-oriented display

Pence is at least a predictable evil that follows "the rules" of politics. Trump's agenda will shift depending on which of his Inner Circle is currently in favor and out of prison and the man himself is volatile as all hell. Pence is just a slightly Jesusier George W.

Check out Corey Robin's book The Reactionary Mind and his recent podcast appearance on The Dig for more on why Trump is not an aberration for the conservative movement, which is now a victim of its own success.

I'm not sure what you think Democrats should have done last year though?

e: the filibuster was not relevant to Gorsuch as Republicans had the majority and simply refused to bring him up for consideration.

The majority leader routinely votes "no" on things that are going to fail because the Senate rules allow him to bring them back up later only if he does so. If it looked like his vote was required to pass, he would vote "yes".

lol reading about why out of 550 positions, Trump only has nominees for 50 or less of them.

quote:

On Election Day, Trump’s transition advisers presented the president-elect’s inner circle with 30 binders of materials. One binder provided the overview and outlined detailed recommendations for the 73-day presidential transition then commencing. This was to serve as a road map designed to assure, to the extent possible, an orderly start for the new administration. A copy of that transition planning material was provided to The Post.

The documents included proposed hour-by-hour schedules for the president-elect as he began the transition; week-by-week transition messaging themes aimed at highlighting Trump’s campaign promises; ambitious timetables for completing congressional action on those promises; drafts of executive orders; policy backgrounders; a lengthy memo analyzing a White House staff structure; and landing teams assigned to key executive branch agencies, most approved by members of Trump’s family.

quote:

Although Trump remained aloof from the transition team, his family provided oversight on his behalf. Transition leaders met weekly with an executive committee composed of Trump’s children Ivanka, Don Jr. and Eric, as well as Kushner and other campaign officials.

quote:

Instead of an orderly rollout, however, the process quickly went Trumpian. Candidates were called to meet with Trump at Trump Tower or at his golf course in Bedminster, N.J., in a process that critics likened to a reality-TV show. Announcements sometimes were made through press release rather than by the candidate in a public setting. The process rather than the announcements became the theater — and the narrative.

I always wondered (since I'm no good at this politics stuff), is McConnell in such a great position that he got no blowback from declaring he would keep Obama a one-term president (and failing)?
