How is it that a sitting Supreme Court Justice is flying the flags of those who have and will again attempt to overthrow the lawfully elected government of the United States, and we are merely discussing recusal? Can you even imagine the response if a liberal Justice had flown a CPUSA related flag in the 1960s or whatever?

Things are rotten.

American left: "Might the noble job creators spare a pittance of their fortune that they, and they alone, earned and were entitled to based on their unique brilliance?"

Left anywhere else: "Bootlickers."

Yes because there are certain areas where paid actors, including bots, overwhelm any organic discussion. I have discussions about stuff like that in private chats with people I actually know.

The original company is not.

On February 13, 1996, Atari agreed to merge with JTS Inc., a short-lived maker of hard disk drives, in a reverse takeover to form JTS Corporation.[4][2] The reverse merger was completed on July 30, 1996.[1] Atari's role in the new company largely became a holder for most of its properties. Most of Atari's staff members were either dismissed or resigned, and its Atari Interactive division was quickly shut down,[27] with the remainder of its employees being relocated to JTS's headquarters.[5][28] Consequently, the Atari name almost vanished from the consumer market.

On March 13, 1998, JTS Corporation sold the Atari name and assets to Hasbro Interactive for $5 million,[3] less than a fifth of what Warner Communications had paid 22 years earlier. The transaction primarily involved the brand and intellectual property rights, which Hasbro Interactive largely used as a brand name for retro game releases.[a][b]

On January 29, 2001, Hasbro Interactive was sold to Infogrames,[31] which renamed it Infogrames Interactive and then the Atari Interactive name in 2003. The present day Atari Interactive, through Atari SA, continues to hold and license all Atari trademarks as well as produce many new games, some based on Atari's original properties, to this day.

It's like Pleasantville, but in reverse and it's a horror film.

I guess he fits the kicker with an inferiority complex since he isn't a real football player.*

*All other kickers are real football players unless they hold similarly shitty views.

...and you just do that thing during stampede of wild elephants in Porky Pig's Russian estate between 3:55 and 4:00 pm on the Fourth of July during a hailstorm. Oh, and there needs to also be one baby zebra bringing up the rear.

Surely engineers have devised ways to reduce pier pressure caused by the flow of water.

Yup. By and large, the SEO industry is a cancer.

I know you were being metaphorical, but Tommy Tuberville nearly brings your scenario to life. It'd be hilarious if it wasn't real life.

Purity-based movements that use hate as a weapon inevitably end in circular firing squads.
