Also, Sessions resigning may be good, but I'm afraid of some stooge sneaking his way through the confirmation process, letting Mueller's investigation go on unimpeded, and then refusing to indict despite its recommendations.

Apparently WaPo is releasing a story tonight about Trump's preparations for the Comey testimony - I'm going to be out for a bit but when I come back I need this thread to be at it's Twitter-news story posting best. I need it.

Also, aides will ensure that he sits on an extra cushioned couch to watch the testimony.

They will bring in a clown and kill him in front of Trump, then the next clown comes in and the process starts again. If they notice his attention waning they bring out the puppies.

I seriously believe there is a good chance that Trump is going to executive order Comey's testimony away at the last minute. Maybe even right in the middle if that's even a possibility.

Minecraft chat, apologies but this thread moves super fast: -Blackadder- posted:Minecraft always seemed like a really interesting game, but I never got into it. One of these days I should give it a shot. Is it goon approved? DrNutt posted:Years of lovely games have robbed me of any creativity so I've found it ugly, tedious, and boring. But if you are creative minded and like to build things, it seems like a space in which you can do that to your heart's content. Apparently there is a full scale version of the Ent-D, which kind of blows my mind just imagining the scale and how long that must have taken. Life in the Woods and Life in the Woods: Renaissance have been hugely helpful for me in these stressful, hopeless times(at least a few months ago when it seemed like nothing would indeed matter). They have modloaders that install everything for you or provide step-by-step instructions to install them, it's super easy. I recommend keeping cheats on in case something breaks or bugs out though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb8kOt2T1HM&hd=1 Renaissance changed a bunch of stuff, some for the better(shaders, ambient lighting, better water), some for the worse(removing some mods that added variety), but it's quite good and combined with some ambient or soothing music is extremely good stress relief. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBXgt_k6v4c&hd=1 Terraria is also a good Minecraft-alike in 2D, they've updated it an insane amount in all aspects from content to visuals and have basically increased the content by a factor of ten since release for free. It's Minecraft cross with Metroid/Castlevania type games and is incredibly well made. It went from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7uOhFTrrq0&hd=1 to this(keep in mind all of this is buildable, the crafting system is massive now): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nXdtDgpPeE&hd=1 Both games are great for stress relief or at least getting your mind off things, so I highly recommend them. Now back to your regular-scheduled breakdown of the US government.

The crazy part about this whole thing is that the sheer amount of damage Trump is doing to the presidency and American power internationally is going to be a historical flashpoint. Trump's existence and his ability to disrupt U.S. foreign policy to the degree that he has is an enormous failure of the U.S. defense apparatus, he has exposed massive vulnerabilities in our in our entire system that defense experts are going to be debating how to rectify and prevent for decades to come. We live in really interesting times.

From a free speech perspective, how is blocking someone on Twitter any different than kicking a disruptive person out of a rally? As amusing as this is, I don't really see the legal throughline.
