Interesting defense of Starfield but I don't think it quite holds up. This argument would sway me if the game was $40 when it came out.
Two years later, Starfield remains the game Bethesda wanted to make all along – and it was never meant to be a crowd-pleaser
Now Playing | Bethesda’s space epic endures because it actively avoided being the space opera people made up in their minds

What kickbacks did trump receive for this
“ At just 16 years old, she took a job at Mar a Lago, believing she had secured a dream summer position. But that dream quickly morphed into a nightmare when Ghislaine Maxwell preyed upon her…. They trafficked her”

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

Waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer funds in pursuit of snake oil sales and profits from lawsuits for RFK Jr.’s firm.

He’s setting the stage for when he departs the government—exactly that which he accuses others of doing.

Every Republican present but one voted in favor of a resolution that Trump claimed was part of a Democratic 'hoax'.
BREAKING:

The House just passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, 427-1.

Republican Clay Higgins was the lone 'no' vote.

An ABC News reporter asked about U.S. intelligence findings that MBS ordered the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.

Trump interrupted, attacked the reporter, then defended MBS: "He knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest by asking something like that."

I hate that “I wish the head of the New York Times had the same self-awareness as a crackhead failson” is a factually true sentence.
The thing about Hunter's benders is that he didn't want to invite elites to them because he was, on some level, ashamed of his own behavior in a way none of the elites ever were.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies.

The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Racial profiling, no warrant, no due process; but what else can one expect from a regime committing extrajudicial murder on the high seas?

Trump's gotta go.

It's a revealing moment...

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.

The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.
