(paraphrasing from elsewhere) Every good business owner LOOOOVES to tell people/governments they can't pay more money if they can blame it on the law/lawyers.

Without that security blanket, the door is open to extracting money from US businesses by foreign governments. The owner can't even give a good reason why they shouldn't be blackmailed.

From a "corrupt president" perspective, this is a bad policy, but somehow, from an "American business owner" perspective, it's even worse.

I'm sorry, eggs come from female chickens, and any talk of that particular F-word is strictly forbidden.

The Sports Mogul games go free after a few years, so anyone interested in trying out (american) football mogul or baseball mogul can get those.

My other favorite is an older games called football fanatic. Abandoned over 20 years ago, but still plays good, if you can handle the dos-like interface.

Wait, no, he might take that deal and doom the rest of us to his bullshit for generations.

What Trump and his lackeys are doing is illegal. The thing is, people get away with illegal things all the time. Being illegal is only a deterrent if there are consequences.

So it's up to the people to show Congress that there will be electoral consequences in 2026 if they don't do anything in 2025. The Presidential election is over, and it's incredibly unlikely that enough representatives/senators would do their plain duty to convict the guy. The people have to let them know that if they don't at least keep things happening within the rules, they won't be back.

Protests are more visible to the media, so they keep up the morale of the resistance, but it's every bit as important to write, call, and otherwise contact your representatives in DC to let them know this is NOT OK. Be polite, but firm.

Geno's fine, but they aren't winning without a complete O-line overhaul.

Some were just transferred out. No doubt some people died there, and it will be decades (if ever) before the civilian population finds out the whole truth, but some people are still alive and accounted for.

It's always amazing to me how consistently it's in the top 10 best sellers on GOG.

You'd think at some point everybody would have a copy, but month after month it's in, or near, the top of the list.

Causing a complete collapse of society to own the libs.

In addition to the others this is also an association fallacy.

For example, a fallacious arguer may claim that "bears are animals, and bears are dangerous; therefore your dog, which is also an animal, must be dangerous."

We've always got his model names for the juvenile humor.
