Have you ever played Supreme Ruler 2020? They had that exact scenario where each state became its own nation and DC became an independent city-state. For maximum difficulty I played as DC and although it took forever, I eventually reunified the US and conquered the entire world. Fun times.
Does it have foreign intervention from outside taking advantage of the U.S. highly weakened and divided state, or is that aspect just kind of brushed aside?
I mean he advocates for the murder of protesters basically so. . .
His responses to protests are, despite a lot of going on here, and a lot of the media coverage, VERY limp and wet-noodle, as an authoritarian leader, compared to East Germany 1953, Hungary 1956, Prague 1968, Tiananmen Square 1989, and Tripoli and Damascus 2011. Even though actual Fascist-regimes by proper and accurate definition in the 1920's to 1940's didn't face peaceful protests of any significant motive note on their home soil, no doubt their responses would have been AT LEAST as brutal.
Could be! The McDonald’s Filet-o-Fish was developed by a Catholic franchisee as Catholics don’t eat red meat on Fridays, and founder Ray Kroc thought it was a stupid idea. He had a
better idea: the Hula Burger, replacing the beef patty with a thick slice of pineapple.
The Hula Burger never took off, so can we deductively reason that the pineapple, if not ethnic, is at least Protestant?
But like, it's from South America which makes it roughly the same as a tomato or a potato...
Actually here it's
a symbol of Queensland, our most racist state.
And also is an essential part of a complete Australian hamburger.
So make of that what you will.
Yep, lightly pickled slices of beetroot are also essential. The interplay of the sweet and tart pineapple and/or pickled beetroot serve roughly the function your dill pickles do, I guess, in contrasting the savoury flavours.
When I make my burgers at home the basics are lettuce tomato onion and beetroot along with cheese.
That picture you posted almost the same as my local fish and chip shop.
I normally hold the beet though.
Home made effort.

I think it's protestant, like Amadeus said. My sister made it to Hawaii for what is likely to be her farmgirl big life trip, she loved the Dole plantation(is that use of the word still allowed? Did that blow over?). Brought home a pineapple shirt for me as a souvenir. I wore it a lot. Wore it when taking out of town guys to Chicago for a make-up rain delay game at Wrigley Field near boys town the night before the Pride parade. It was very confusing with the wedding ring, but it was at least friendly. Francis seemed like a really cool dude. Danced some. Shared my smokes. Turned down the coke.
I believe there's one or more "sandwich thread." Perhaps requesting a thread move of these posts?
The US President openly calls for election fraud, and you guys are discussing burgers?
At this point, a vote for Trump is essentially treason.
At this point, a vote for any candidate who runs on either the label of the Republican Party of the United States OR the Democratic Party of the United is an act of treason against any Americans who values their nation, it's long-term advancement or betterment, and equal justice for all (including elected politicians).
You ask this question a lot. The real question is, "are you alright?"
So you are admitting Trump is an incompetent puppet? Whose puppet?
He doesn't seem at all to be a puppet. But he is incompetent. Far too incompetent to be the cunning, terrifying political mastermind whose going to establish an absolute totalitarian dictatorship and destroy utterly the U.S. Constitution and all political opposition if he wins in 2020. He obviously doesn't have THAT particular capacity in him.
I knew you would try some variation of "it's not the federal government's job to handle a pandemic," because you're very predictable
, but I did not expect this large dollop of condescension to go with the pro-death argument.
"Pro-death argument?" That's an interesting term. Please tell me, other than Jains, Taoists, certain small Christian denominations like the Quakers, the Amish, the Hutterites, the old Anabaptists, and a few others, and several specifically pacificisitc socio-political ideologies - representing an infintissimal percentage of the world's population - which ideology in the world today is not absolutely rife and filthy with "pro-death arguments," and viewpoints, of one sort or another, they commonly espouse, if I may ask.
There will be no clean election with Dump involved, feel free to convince me otherwise.
So who knows what will happen..
There has no been clean, or free-and-fair, or truly contested, Presidential election in the U.S., where the voters had any true choice, for decades. This state of affairs didn't just start now.
I don’t think any democrat has actual fascist predilections. As for the rest of it the difference of supporting policies that reinforce those thing a versus tryin got support policies that address those things is obviously very important. Trump runs into the fear, anger, racism, and fascism. Biden is garbage but at least he’s not that.
Oh, for crying out loud. As I've said many times, Trump and his followers, while definitely monstrous, horrid, vile, and having right-wing populist traits out the wazoo, are NOT Fascist by definition. They are a NEW socio-political phenomenon within the broader multi-headed hydra that is right-wing authoritarian populism (of which Fascism is only one SPECIFIC facet of). Using old terms (just to invoke old baggage that is not even attached to modern subject) and shoehorning it in, no matter how many discrepancies and incongruities must be just ignored, rather than give new socio-political movements new labels, and acknowledging and viewing them as new, is counter-productive to any conservation, and, indeed, is in line with the same "toxic nostalgic narratives," that are one of the pillars of all right-wing authoritarian populist movements, themselves.
