It wouldn't be a crisis, it would be illegal and congress should impeach him. But if the legislative just sits on their hands then it's the executive and legislative against the judicial, and in that scenario the judicial looses and the country suffers.

I think bad guy having the same skillset is really just a superhero trope.

  • Flash vs Zoom
  • Green vs Yellow Lantern
  • Spidey vs Venom
  • Aquaman vs Black Manta
  • Wonder woman vs Ares
  • Green Arrow vs Dark Archer

I listed DC heroes primarily to show it isn't just a Marvel thing. But all of these arch enemies are basically evil duplicates of the hero.

I think the trope largely stems from a "How do you defeat someone who is as powerful/strong as you" kinda thing.

Disney bought them out after like the third or fourth movie, MCU is pretty much just Disney.

SteamOS is still the main OS. I've just got a microsd for dual booting. I feel like a ROG Ally would be a downgrade at that point.

I think that technically counts against Canada, but not actually sure.

I did install windows on a microsd to play some online games with my steamdeck. It's a so-so experience, but at least means you can literally play anything on the steamdeck.

Another 10 came from the commercial commuter in Alaska - https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2025/02/07/missing-plane-found-3-people-reported-dead/

Meaning there were two commercial aircraft crashes in the first 2 months of the year.

And the last check, which is "we the people".

Can't wait to find out it was just a guy in a suit.

If he really thinks they won't come for his Medicaid, Social Security, and federal pension, he hasn't been paying attention.

Not to mention economic uncertainty can eat into that money in other ways (like increased prices from tarrifs).

So for reference, right now more than half the US doesn't pay income tax due to not making enough. With the External Revenue Service, everyone is going to start paying those taxes through higher prices.

So Trumps plan, as is usually the case is to push the tax burden on lower income households and decrease taxes for the wealthy.

 

Not sure if a perfect fit, but a comedy western rpg with a bit of a supernatural element. If you haven't already you should check it out!
