US Politics: I Don't Like Mondays

I have zero confidence in this. It sounds to me like Garland will let himself be paralyzed by norms. Another Presidential election is fast approaching. Garland then will run into the norm of not prosecuting a former President near an election, especially if he's running. And he will of course happily wrap himself in the straight jacket at that point. So maybe we're looking at a 2025-2026 timetable for prosecution. If it happens. If the Democratic party candidate wins again. Merrick Garland "fears no person," says legal scholar Norm Eisen — and he's coming for Trump Author of "Overcoming Trumpery" says "methodical" Garland is still building a case against Trump and his regime https://www.salon.com/2022/05/30/merrick-garland-fears-no-person-says-legal-scholar-norm-eisen--and-hes-coming-for/ -

Honestly, I just assume he's saying this in a Christian Bale Batman growl. This was a senseless act and that is about as much sense as I can make of it.

MCU: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of SPOILERS
Martell Spy replied to ithanos's topic in Entertainment
The Darkhold was clearly screwing with Wanda. It made it so Wanda would not even accept making America her permanent reality-travel slave. It was insisting on America's death which of course made any kind of negotiation with Strange impossible. -
Red Dead Redemption 2 killed physical media for me. I was trying to support game stores by buying there. It was multiple discs and I got to spend the night downloading the game while my friend had downloaded and got the play right away. Sorry game stores, I can't save you anymore than I could save Blockbuster. Also set the same game down for a few months and came back to play it later. It demanded a disc and I didn't know where I put it. I'm sure I still have it somewhere, but pretty annoying.

So I go to play my new Xbox and find out I can't play any games. Sounds like there is a huge outage. This is a first for me that I am blocked from my games, at least since the days of the red rings of death. Sounds like the outage started yesterday, but I hadn't tried to play then. I got the console version of Crusader Kings 3 and was going to play that.
