Between this and Trump blowing the mic stand, we could be headed for an epic twist!

I’m assuming that being a farming peasant (aka “serf”) in 16th Century England was probably a better life than being a miner or factory worker in 19th Century England.

When America literally imported foreigners, took their passports, declared them illegals for not being there with passports and locked them in prisons. Aka what trump wants to repeat.

Planning a trip to DC on Jan 10. Is this a crazy thing to do?

No it’s a great town

More curious on the over/under on it being a battlefield on Jan 10.

It might be really cold, but I’m guessing you can deal with that

I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to tell before you go.

One of my best friends has been obsessed with this game since the first boom like 9 years ago. She still plays hours a week.

What drives me nuts is that 99% of kids are nowhere near this capable, and the numbers of this happening that we arent seeing must be staggering.

Agree with what @NotBruceZ said. The election will have already happened and even the certification vote should have taken place. If things are still chaotic at that point, you should know and be able to cancel/change plans if necessary. Even on Jan 6th, we didn’t know exactly what would go down, but we had a pretty good sense that a lot of Trumpers were coming into town, that some of them would be violent, and even kinda knew where they would be most concentrated (what bars/restaurants were most MAGA friendly, etc), so it was relatively easy to avoid them.

You’re talking to a Canadian here. DC will be nice, probably the museums will not be too crowded. I usually get off at the Chinawown exit and walk to the mall instead of getting off at the Smithsonian exit, which may be a zoo.

Meanwhile in Russia

Veritasium covered this talk today. Very interesting research to how much political bias influences us and how the smarter you are the worse it happens.
