Half-Life: Alyx

A new Half-Life game after a thousand years... but of course it's going to require a VR headset. *weary sigh*

Oh well, that's better than nothing at all, I guess... not that I'll ever play it, due to the VR requirement, so it might as well be nothing at all, as far as I'm concerned. *shrug*

And it will still be probably yet another millennia until a real, proper Half-Life 3 comes out, assuming it ever does.

Trump having lunch with the senators who will be deciding if he gets removed from office or not

Via Seth Abramson thread: "Trump lunches with two of his biggest Senate GOP critics"

Also, this: "Romney calls lunch with Trump 'delightful'"

---

Trump, alone, or even Trump, with his little inner circle of criminal co-conspirators, have never been the real danger, extremely dangerous though they might be.

The real danger lies in every GOP member of Congress, House and Senate, and the objective fact that they are all wholly owned by Trump and Putin and will do everything in their power to preserve Trump's own power. It is appalling. It is obvious. It is disgusting. It is blatant. It is depressing. It is brazen. It is enraging. It is ridiculous. It is insane. If not for these Trumpublican Congressasshats, Trump would have been removed from office years ago.

Here's the thing I'm not sure about, though... have the GOP/Republicans always been this despicable, willing to do whatever evil thing they have to to get what they want? Looking at least as far back as Sarah Palin (blatantly drumming up anti-terrorist fears with regards to Obama) and George W. Bush (used lies to start the Iraq War) indicates that maybe this is the case. Or does all this recent Trump-asskissing and Trump-bootlicking occur as a result of some heinous kompromat that Putin managed to get on all these shitbags when (never forget) Russia hacked them at the same time Russia hacked the DNC, but for whatever reason didn't release any of the RNC stuff to Wikileaks (unlike the DNC), for the purpose of using it to control them as he seems to be doing now?

In any case, Trump is doing anything and everything in his power to directly aid Russia, and has been doing so since before becoming POTUS, and the Trumpublicans in Congress are doing everything in their power to directly aid Trump, which directly aids Russia, and have been doing so ever since Trump was nominated (probably thanks to Russian interference and disinformation, same as the reason why Trump was elected), and it's just... like... Jesus fucking Christ already. How much longer until this nightmare finally ends with them all in prison, or, most likely failing that, no longer serving in government, at the very least?

(EDIT) Of course, I'm wrong here. The real danger lies in all the clueless, gullible, moronic "normal people" who keep repeatedly electing these asshats to power. (/EDIT)

"I WANT NOTHING"

In response to Donald Trump's ludicrous "I WANT NOTHING" rant, here is an alternative viewpoint from some crazy guy named Donald Trump.

"Q Mr. President, what exactly did you hope Zelensky would do about the Bidens after your phone call? Exactly.

"THE PRESIDENT: Well, I would think that, if they were honest about it, they’d start a major investigation into the Bidens. It’s a very simple answer."

Of course, we already knew that Donald Trump is a flagrant, pathological liar, so this doesn't really prove anything. *shrug*
