  1. The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    As I'm sure you know, what you're describing is tribalism. There ARE legally recognizable differences between Trump and McKesson's actions, but you openly don't care. Your stated philosophy is people you agree with should be allowed to break the law, and people whose cause you oppose should be...
  2. The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    You're weighing the merits of their causes and that wasn't my question. I'm asking for an objective legal standard which we can hold both men to equally under the law. What did Trump say or do differently than DeRay McKesson which shows HE should be responsible for the actions of his...
  3. The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    To be clear: It is still legal to peacefully assemble. This case addresses who is responsible for consequences if the assembly is no longer peaceful. This case involves a civil negligence complaint against a BLM organizer, not criminal charges. It does not find him guilty -- it only declares...
  4. Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    ...I mean, they're certain to find one.
  5. When is the last time we got an original character redeco from a G1 character?

    This feels like a brain teaser more than anything. - The character is G1 - The character is a redeco - The character is brand new (i.e. the redecoed toy is their debut) - The character is not based on an obscure unused deco (i.e. Diaclone, G2) So not Cloudcover. G2 deco. Not Riggorous...
  6. Transformers Legacy toyline

    It just needs the proper context. They tried to render Superstar Pat Lee's Armada artwork into 3-D space. Under those parameters, this was truly a worthy attempt.
  7. Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    I've said it before and I'll say it again: Democrats will abandon their guy on principle, Republicans will abandon principles for their guy. That one difference as how Republicans keep getting worse and Democrats keep losing elections.
  8. Harris-Walz / Dems

    This is a race, though, and people need to recognize that, because of the distinguishing difference between Republican and Democrat voters. Republicans will compromise every principle they had to continue supporting a guy who stands with them on one important thing. Democrats will refuse to...
  9. What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    No, he can't. Not until he officially loses all his money. Public Defenders aren't literally free lawyers, they're for people who cannot afford them. The American legal system has never really tested what would happen if a criminal Defendant can afford an attorney, but no one is willing to take...

    She is required to uphold attorney-client privilege even if her client pretends that privilege never existed. More relevantly (putting her ethics and morality aside) prosecutors cannot profit from a breach of privilege by the attorney. Even if she says, "I don't care if I lose my license to...
  11. Anti-Semitism

    People whose family line last identified as Jewish over 2,000 years ago are not presently recognized as Jewish by anyone in modern society, for good or for ill.
  12. Anti-Semitism

    Yes, many Original Christians were born culturally and ethnically Jewish. Upon becoming disciples and followers of Jesus, they were no longer culturally Jewish, they were Christian. In spreading the Word of God, they traveled far and wide, and (presumably) procreated with whomever followed this...
  13. Anti-Semitism

    Taking the bait... - Why would they? Jesus hasn't done anything in 2000 years. Why would the passage of time, and "all these centuries", make them more likely to switch religions, when nothing new has happened to influence that decision? Frankly, after all these centuries, why do people still...

    Speaking from Tampa, I eagerly await Florida Democrats' newest plan to lose an election which even an inanimate carbon rod has no business losing.
  15. Catch me up.

    Pyra Magna's group were known as the Companions. Some of them assumed her colors in protest to her imprisonment after the war. Only Jumpstream and Rust Dust of the Torchbearers appear. Other Companions include Sunstreaker, Windcharger, and the obscure Pretender Groundbreaker (the only one who...

    2000 cycles ago, The War of the Threefold Spark redefined Cybertronian society. Exarchon, a scientist and explorer, returned from the void of space as a mad tyrant intent on conquering Cybertron. He somehow developed the power to occupy three bodies at once with his parasitic spark, hopping from...
  17. G1 Transformers Size, Power, and Mass

    This thread depresses me every time I open it.
  18. Catch me up.

    Yeah, toy-wise Hasbro redid basically every old G1 concept in the Combiner Wars and War for Cybertron toyline trilogies, including Headmasters, Targetmasters, Pretenders, Combiners, Micromasters, Beast Wars. You asked about Masterpieces, and the distinction between Masterpiece and Mass Market...

    Transformers comics have been cancelled. IDW no longer has the license since last year. The IDW continuity you remember ended in 2018 with a big Unicron battle. IDW rebooted their universe completely, with a new pre-war continuity running from 2019-2022. Masterpieces are still being made...
  20. Why was there a lack of fanfare for the 20th anniversary of a Beast Wars and could have this have caused Primal to win the prime fan vote?

    In the Japanese G1 cartoon timeline, BW/BM is absolutely the future of the Japanese 80's cartoon. In Fun Publications, their expanded version of the 1984 Transformers cartoon timeline was called the "Wingsverse". The Wingsverse, by implication, incorporated BW/BM into their timeline...
