FMguru posted:One of the incorporated areas inside of Los Angeles County is simply named "Industry". It literally the City of Industry. There's also another area nearby that is "Commerce" and calls itself "City of Commerce". The City of Industry gets even better in that city officials also happen to own the few residential zoned areas and thus can determine who lives in the city and thus controls the entire electorate, meaning that nothing can threaten the hefty salaries they draw from their political position. Basically everything about the city reads like some kind of dystopian fiction dreamed up by a hack writer.

Joementum posted:Like the time Santorum and Gingrich tried to form a unity ticket to defeat Romney in 2012 and ran into that problem. The real problem there is that they both seem like Vice-Presidential material. At least in the 'slightly crazy yahoo meant to take heat off the President' way.

Full Battle Rattle posted:This happened in an issue of deadpool, kind of. Forget the issue number, though. Deadpool Vol. 3 Issue 2. The second issue of Brian Posehn's great ongoing Deadpool run. Dead Presidents was probably my least favorite arc of his run so far though.

Na man, he's right. It's like in a computer game, when you grab the enemies capital you win. Which is why Russia is a client state of France after Napoleon's famous capture of Moscow and the subsequent glorious parade back home.

The New Black posted:Isn't that just the standard Richard III stuff? Nobody wants to be seen to be too keen to be President in case they look power-hungry. But if a bunch of people who see your evident fitness for the role convince you to reluctantly take it up for the good of the country, well, that's another matter! Hell this goes all the way back to the late Roman Republic, where it became customary for politicians to humbly decline powerful posts only to have a large crowd turn out that they take it, where upon the politician would reluctantly go ahead and seize power because it was the unchangeable will of the people.

ComradeCosmobot posted:Just as 2012 was the year of "Anyone but Romney" for the Republicans, 2016 will be the year of "Anyone but Hillary" for the Democrats. I'm ready to be one of the deluded people interviewed when Biden pulls ahead to take a single states primary before burning out. The straw hat, the pins, tears about how I have faith in America again, the whole works.
