Re: Brexit and not very united kingdom politics II

Don't be silly, he didn't lie. He just never bothered to read the agreement and no one who had told him about that provision.
I jest but, he's trying so hard to emulate Trump with every action I wouldn't be surprised if that was the truth.

Re: SUPERTHREAD: 2020 United States Elections

Well he's illegally pulling out of the Open Skies treaty and ordering the planes used for it to be scrapped so Biden can't reverse it.

Re: SUPERTHREAD: 2020 United States Elections

It turns out a lot of the transition activities require the White House to authorise and currently the Biden camp is being stonewalled so this may depend on how much autonomy the Secret Service still has.

Re: SUPERTHREAD: 2020 United States Elections

I think he'll let the various agencies that want a piece of Trump go after him. On crimes including obstruction.... Fingers crossed, I read that in theory that Trump could resign just before his term ends so that Pence could pardon him. That's only for federal crimes. State crimes a presidential pa...

Technically he has all the powers of the President until he leaves office. I'd be more concerned with McConnell spending the next 2 months confirming as many batshit judges as he can.

Re: Dresden Files: Battle Grounds Trailer

The Flintlocks are from a Short Story from Marcones POV. Ancient tech so no Murphionic field can affect them and each of the rounds have been enchanted by Sigrun to be hellish powerful. They are also fatal rounds which have killed great warriors (I think), the one that Marcone uses in the short to ...

Spoiler
Murphy being dead doesn't change his protective status, however we see it isn't as clear cut as originally stated. He can't be fed upon bu it doesn't mean they can't touch him, Lara has shown she has the control to touch him without being burnt.

Lara was willing to kill Thomas in Blood Rites because she was terrified of her father, that's no longer an issue.

Re: Conflict erupts at Minneapolis, L.A. protests over George Floyd death

So, following a lawsuit by one of the Grand Jurors the DA has admitted that Wanton Endangerment is the ONLY charge he actually offered for the Breonna Taylor shooting. Doesn't matter what evidence he actually presented he never had any intention of even risking accountability.

Well yes but only in "a very specific and limited way." So it's all right then.

Re: SUPERTHREAD: 2020 United States Elections

One potential outcome is that some swing states end up appointing Trump electors directly due to the election being “too close to call,” “rampant democrat voter fraud” etc. The prep work do that is already well underway.

China has officially raised the Wuhan death toll by 50%. Indeed. This was to take into account the people who died at home and couldn't get to a hospital. France also counts these so we saw a spike in their numbers. One country that hasn't is the UK. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-16/uk-aged-c...

That was before all that. End of Cold Days she becomes Winter Lady, then the short story takes place between that and Skin Game.
