I don't see them as replacing the originals, although I guess in a sense they are. It would be one thing if they weren't as good as the originals, but they're arguably better. I've been a Resident Evil fan since 1996, I thought the original was better than Resident Evil 2 (which was an unpopular opinion at the time), but right now, if you ask me the best game in the series that I've played so far? RE2 Remake. Don't even really have to think about it much.

Because they struck a deal with the media companies in that case. That hasn't happened with Canada. They're gonna do it this time, and I'm sure Canada will be fine without getting its news through Facebook.
The Justice Department has to be able to indict people, that's part of its function. And the DoJ is part of the executive branch. A good President will not use the DoJ for his personal political purposes, but the incentive to do so, if it was there, would be extremely powerful. I think it's probably a good idea to remove it. If the people can't be trusted not to vote for a criminal or a traitor, we have bigger problems.
Elon Musk's slow transformation into Donald Trump is as disturbing as it is fascinating. Not much good at anything, but incredible at self-promotion so people think he is; obsessed with Twitter and conspiracy theories, then becoming a right-wing demagogue; refusing to pay people he owes and suing anyone who looks sideways at him. Few would have predicted this 10 years ago.
Looks like there's nothing that crazy that we didn't already know; Trump changed his travel plans so he could be present at Mar-a-Lago when his attorneys searched for the classified documents he was hiding from them, basically.
They've given out Loop Hero before, it's a fun and unique roguelite but extremely grindy.
The former president told the group he had a "plan of attack" from a senior military official. Trump characterized the document as "highly confidential" and "secret information" and noted that "as president I could have declassified it.
Sounds like it's the document that was thought to be a plan for invading Iran. There were so many news stories about this, Trump was caught on tape admitting to a crime, but for some reason he wasn't being charged for this document specifically. Now it looks like he is.
On top of that, every country in the world would have to be collaborating in keeping it a secret
And that's why conspiracy beliefs always end up including a global conspiracy. It's like solipsism; the whole world has to be in on the deception or it doesn't work.
How does someone like this even get near a mainstream party in the US?
All it takes to be a Democrat is to check a box when you register to vote (same for any other party in the US). There is nothing stopping anyone who wants to from running for the Democratic nomination. Needless to say, he isn't endorsed by the Democratic Party and doesn't have any real popular support. As for why he wants to be known as a Democrat--I'm not an expert on the guy but I do know that he is one of the children of the Kennedy dynasty from the '60s; the Democratic Party is part of his brand, I suppose. He is not a serious candidate, he is almost certainly running specifically to raise his profile and increase the number of followers he has as a professional conspiracy grifter (which has been his occupation for decades now).
This actually brings up a good point that I never thought of before--it seems likely that if aliens have a religion, that religion will become a source of instant fascination to humans and will likely shake up Earth's religious landscape a lot more than the simple existence of alien life would (alien life simply existing would not have much of an impact by itself IMO).
They always justify it with conspiracy theories about how the chosen minority victim is secretly trying to harm them. "Think of the children" is an especially popular tactic.
I don't think they can recognize the flyswatter, but they do seem to find a sudden increase in movement around them suspicious. Move slowly and strike from close up.
