Why not. That's what he did most of his life, fling money at poo poo in briefcases. Hell, as blatantly crooked as he was over the casino thing I'm surprised daddy Trump didn't try to pass it off in big khaki bags with dollar signs on the sides

America is, at this particular moment, not a democracy. The rich get whatever they want and the rest of us get the bill.

if you truly believe this, you're not well versed in American politics. We've been this way literally since before the founding. The whole movement to form a nation was basically stood up on legs and funded by rich guys tired of losing money and this money thing continued on from there.

California maybe? Water might be an issue.

California would immediately take over as much of the Colorado River as they could with Lake Mead being a huge priority.. Northern California gets most of their water from mostly within California, but California would at least expand to include Reno and Las Vegas. Maybe get as far East as Flagstaff. It's all fantasy anyway, but someone in Las Vegas has much more in common with someone from Los Angeles or San Francisco than someone from Alaska or Idaho.


For the missing emails, I wonder if the Trump Campaign team realizes those can be recovered. Trump's Razor says they're still sitting in the "Trash" archive folder.

even on the campaign trail Trump has never looked as awful as he does now, he's gained a shitload of weight, it's actually kind of staggering how much heavier he clearly is compared to when he was campaigning. Only a few short months and he looks like he's put on 80+ pounds.

Trump Thread II: Civilization 6, North American Map

It all starts well but when Gorgo over in Sparta, Illinois starts poking at Tomyris in Montana. Teddy Roosevelt in DC finally gets pissed off at the pair for being warmongering jerks, and while his +5 same continent combat bonus helps he eventually falls under the might of the endless Scythian Cavalry.

Eventually all that's left is Tomyris controlling the the continental US, with Peter the Great huddling in Canada because no one wants his tundra, and Montezuma who owns all of South America after devouring Pedro II's Brazil and collected enough luxuries to have a permanent +9 combat bonus on top of the defensive bonus the heavy jungles give him.

Megalopolis maps are probably closer to reality, because like the actual South vs North conflict, they are based on economic ties. Rump United States Northeast megalopolis for the win.

Yeah, putting Northern Virginia in "Tidewater" can gently caress right off. Hampton Roads is "Flint on the Atlantic." It just has the saving grace of having the military around which makes the entire area pretty much a service culture to transient servicemen and the rental properties they occupy.

I dunno why, but it popped into my head. Trump's campaign reminds me of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC's permanent radiation glitch where if the player tries to cross to a new map through the no go radiation spots from that moment on he has to constantly heal himself because the game glitches and radiation keeps building up no matter where he goes or does.

It's a kinda typical "settle down" pose. It's stupid and he's nowhere near big enough to pull it off (like all his other workout poses) but it isn't some insane thing.

You asked what the pose was, not if he could pull it off. That is what the pose is.

He can't pull it off. Dude has a runner's body. He can't pull off any "I'm a tough guy look how much I work out" poses. I'd say that photoshoot was profoundly tone deaf but that would imply tone deaf isn't his default setting.
