  2. Counterpoint is the despondency at how much control over their audience they have and how big that audience is. Never going to be one reality ever again.
  3. Why?oming

  5. Evidently their counter programming during the hearing was two hours (Carlson, Hannity) commercial-free. I wonder how much ad revenue that equals, to make sure there were no natural pauses to encourage viewers to flip over to the real thing.
  6. This is false. The minority party provided five appointees, and two were rejected due to a direct conflict of interest (one of which was even subpoenaed by the commission), so the Minority Leader pulled the rest of his appointees and boycotted the commission out of partisan spite.
  7. I had to step away in the middle, but I recall the documentary guy or someone basically testifying that some of those guys went out in advance of the speech ending to "secure" the route
  8. Yeah, this is the opening hearing. They articulated what each of the individual hearings would focus on but I didn't note it. This one I believe is focus on the premeditated aspect.
  9. they're about to show otherwise unseen video of jan 6

    We went to the park, did a few of the nihilego raids and looked at some geese in the pond. It was no "every legendary in raids at once" but also we didn't buy tickets to the "real" event so I don't know what we're missing beyond shaymin.
  11. happ birthday ninja_jesus!
  12. you might be surprised https://ballotpedia.org/States_with_initiative_or_referendum
  13. That's why I specified states with ballot petitions, which override the people who would otherwise make those decisions in those states. The rest of us are riding the caboose though.
  14. Even before that, there are things that should probably be done. Voting reform for one. Not just rules for voting but how voting works. Folks in states with public ballot propositions that can bypass their bipartisan legislatures should circulate petitions for ranked choice voting or other voting format reforms. Whether it's the Maine model or the Alaska model, anything is an improvement. That way the spoiler effect isn't a factor, the argument gets taken off the table entirely. There are also other issues, like the threshold for a party or candidate to get on the ballot, or what happens once a third party candidate is elected to a legislature (can they join a major party's conference, allowing them to participate in the process? or do they sit in the back by themselves and vote on the floor after the real process happens?). But I think voting reform is a good start.

    They're giving out good stuff to compensate for ending the one coin remote raid passes to force people to raid in person again.

    The one coin bundle is three super incubators.
  17. I am also definitely in the category that it is stealth sequel, or within the same canon.
