2024.04.27 01:37 HRHVihansa D.C endangering our lives.
The sad reality is that the maniacs in D.C are setting fires all over the globe. WW3 is already underway, it just hasn't gone fully hot yet. The multi billion dollar package they just passed for Taiwan, Ukraine & Israel to put it in it's simplest/most honest terms, were for war. For when WW3 goes fully hot and all the blocs involved are actively shooting at each other. The Genocide Axis (America, Israel, western Europe, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Canada, Australia etc) are a force to be reckoned with even tho they are declining powers. So asymmetrical warfare will be a must if the Resistance Axis (Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, etc) are to stand a chance in Hell. A major feature of this will of course be cyber. Creating chaos here in the homeland will be a must for the nations we've pissed off and are targeting for destruction. Here's a good vid about that.
https://youtu.be/fJt6LQqUZJc?si=Ft_hVhz_7Xj-yfm4 God help us and God save us bcz while we pay with our lives for the shit D.C is starting around the globe, they have nice bunkers filled with food, water and medicine. Even those with bunkers are looking at dying of medical conditions they have. The country is dealing w/major drug shortages now. Just wait till this shit they're starting goes fully hot. Also, our water is being targeted. Thank the duoply for shit like this.

2024.04.10 21:42 ihavehangnails Jewish feelings on Zionism across the diaspora
This is a rough conglomerate of sentiment towards Israel collected in the five
countries with the highest Jewish populations (minus Israel ofc). polling data is being used when possible but obviously Jews are diverse in both lifestyle and thought and generalizations are just that, generalizations.
Keep in mind that "support for Israel" can have multiple meanings. Please feel free to look at the links yourself and draw your own conclusions this isn't meant to be comprehensive! If there is interest I would be happy to make a similar report compiling what I can find for Turkey and Iran, because all of these countries have historically been relatively pro-Israel (with the exception of Russia ofc)
USA- 6m to 11m Polling data has not really engaged with the questions "should Israel exist" or "are you a zionist?" but data has found that younger and more secular Jews tend to be more pro-Palestine than their older and more religious peers. In 2021 62% of Jews surveyed reported feeling "emotionally attached" to Israel. [
https://www.jewishelectorateinstitute.org/july-2021-national-survey-of-jewish-voters/]
the current war has caused a discernible rift in American Jewish discourse about Israel, but this is reflected in earlier polls. American Jews are overwhelmingly liberal and seem to be uncomfortable with the right wing character of the current Israeli government. this is the most recent poll i could find, it's a Pew Research Poll from April 2.
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/04/02/how-us-jews-are-experiencing-the-israel-hamas-wa this article is from November but contains a lot of resources to explore:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/04/us-jews-rift-gaza-israel-crisis France- 440,000- 600,000k I struggled to find good polling data for the French. A lot of the articles I could find focus on French politics and my French isn't good enough to do a deep dive. Discourse surrounds France's ability to curtail and prevent antisemitism. Reporting focuses on high rates of aliyah amongst French Jews- 50,000 from 2013-2023
https://fr.timesofisrael.com/les-juifs-francais-craignent-que-lagitation-pro-palestinienne-ne-conduise-macron-a-faire-volte-face-sur-israel/ In 2019 AJC conducted a poll on French Jews. 53% replied "yes" to "do you think that a thriving State of Israel is vital for the long-term future of the Jewish people?" and 59% felt that caring about Israel is an important part of being a Jew. Interestingly more said they would rather emigrate to the US than Israel.
https://www.ajc.org/news/survey2019/France beyond this, I feel unqualified to draw conclusions
Canada- 398,000 to 500,000k Jewish Canadians, like their US counterparts, are split. While Jewish Canadians regardless of religiosity are more likely than their gentile counterparts to support Israel, liberal Jews report higher rates of criticism of the Netanyahu government. This study from 2017:
https://ijvcanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/report.Finpdf.pdf goes over findings relating to specific political issues.
Another poll from 2019 found that 48% of Canadian Jews felt emotionally attached to Israel in some way.
https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/for-canadian-jews-connection-to-israel-runs-deep-but-political-opinions-vary/article_aa70c2aa-4e9c-579e-94df-5290870db940.html.
A more recent poll (2023) from the New Israel Fund (I'm not familiar with them) found that 75% of Canadian Jews "share some sense of attachment to Israel" but 59% disapprove of the direction of the Netanyahu government.
https://nifcan.org/survey-most-canadian-jews-oppose-policies-favoured-by-the-israeli-government/ UK- 312,000 to 360,000k Unfortunately, the most comprehensive survey I could find for UK Jews dates back to 2010. 82% reported Israel playing an important role in their Jewish identity. Since it's from over 10 years ago I'm not going to look further into this but its available here
https://www.jpr.org.uk/reports/committed-concerned-and-conciliatory-attitudes-jews-britain-towards-israel if you're interested.
this City University London survey from 2015 claims that 59% of UK Jews identified as Zionists and 90% supported Israel's right to exist. But again, support seems to be more split over support for the Israeli right.
https://www.city.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/2015/11/attitudes-of-british-jews-towards-israel-revealed-in-new-study this 2023 article implies that British Jews are largely anti-Netanyahu and co.
https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-753423 recent coverage centers on antisemitism in the greater British public.
Russia Since the fall of the Soviet Union, a large amount of Russian Jews made aliyah. The discussion surrounding these people is far less ideological in tone than than their Western counterparts. Russian Jewish aliyah, which continues to this day, comes from a variety of factors including antisemitism, economic pushes and the Russo-Ukraine war. Weirdly I couldn't find any data on Russian Jewish feelings towards Israel in either English or Russian. I would guess that the Russian community is strongly linked to Israel due to the mass migration taking place since the 90s.
https://www.bbc.com/russian/articles/cd1m3rrymj2o this is a massive topic within itself and i might leave a comment with sources going over Soviet immigration to Israel.
Conclusions tldr: according to data most Jews in the USA, France, Canada and the UK feel emotional connection to Israel, regardless of variables such as religiosity. However there is disagreement over support for the current government. The main takeaway would be that a Jewish person calling themselves a Zionist does not mean they're a Likud loving maniac. All these countries are Western and any true statistical analysis is beyond my capabilities.

2024.04.02 19:06 Prestigious_Piekno Dear Josh, Please stop having sex with Natalie.
You look tired, afraid of her and somewhat repulsed by her. You do not want your children exposed to her maniacal behavior, for which you deserve credit. Yet you continue to sleep with her. You have a reputation as a bit of a F-boy, and beautiful young women in hotels stare at you, so procuring sex should not be that difficult. Or is Natalie just a convenient "default" who requires less effort than a sane and rational woman?
She has chased you from Florida to California in desperation, practically begging you for status and a baby. There was not a millisecond when you looked even remotely interested in having a serious relationship with Natalie, let alone procreating with her. That sir, would be a catastrophic mistake that would likely do irreparable harm to you and your family. Have you not yet seen the footage of Natalie pleading with her husband Mike to impregnate her shortly after you cut her loose on TSL? He finally learned his lesson and wised up to her manipulation, but "Being Used By Natalie 101" cost him a fortune.
Your employees are honest, fair minded people who have genuine concern for you. They were not being cruel or making fun of Natalie. In fact, they cut her some undeserved slack on the Tell All. She appears to be a deeply disturbed individual with unrealistic expectations. She makes countless demands, yet puts forth no real effort to work for anytihng. It is doubtful that you promised Natalie an apartment, a car and movie roles if she joined you in LA. In fact, anyone paying attention would probably bet that you never "invited" her to live in LA to begin with. Let's hope that red Fiat was leased by TLC for the show because you seriously need to cut ties with this woman. If not for you, do it for us, so we don't have to watch this dollar store version of Fatal Attraction for another moment.
It's ironic that her dream role is that of a vampire, because Natalie is quite adept at sucking the lifeblood out of the men she claims to love, in the way of money and resources. We've been watching since she was still in Ukraine, claiming to be a well educated and very religious woman who wanted marriage and a baby. Yet she left the man who loved her and married her. She ran off with his debit card and moved to Florida to go hunting for her next victim. Congratulations Josh. You're it.
Dare I say that no one following Natalie's story can name one decent, compassionate, kind or constructive thing Natalie has done since she touched down in America. That, in and of itself should be enough for anyone, even a jerk like you Josh. Seems like a high price to pay for some air time. In the future, invest in better advertising.

2024.03.25 05:54 tahoma403 Ad hominem 101: Jimmy gets MAD at Keith Olbermann for saying there's no evidence of Ukraine's involvement in the Moscow terrorist attack
2024.03.23 22:44 Brave-Math-6371 Republican Senate District 10 convention.
Today is when Republicans in Senate District 10 met. Got pretty mad to myself when Rep David Cook lied about the outgoing Texas House is the most conservative ever. Excuse me for what you mean by that and I mean he literally said so in a room full of people. Fools cheered his speech even though David Cook lied. The nominations committee people where people under 60 are all closeted Socialists and yes they are and think they got the right to ask stupid questions. Maybe they should ask themselves how the GOP is as braindead as the Democrats. They like Democrats allowed worthless agency like Tarrant Regional Water district to allow Kay Granger and son to destroy the small businesses in 6 years that once had good business because no redevelopment to occur. I like to ask how has crime been since 30 year politican Greg Abbott took office 9 years ago and when he and Ken Paxton did nothing to investigate agencies. Maybe Greg Abbott should start building prisons to keep criminals out of our cities and towns so they don't get to harm even the homeless or medical fragile. Reinvest Justice Act scam has led to more crime on top of closing prisons and Rogue DA's like Tarrant County Sorrels and a rogue City of Ft Worth who doesn't want police to solve breaking windows on Cars due to parole violators or also ignoring tips to solve crimes from that rip off 469 tip crap.
If people think Greg Abbott is a trump Republican. Think again. He is a George W Bush Republican. He backed him every time he was up for Governor or President. He even said screw Romney. Many of these Republican nominations folks with an exception of the 2 older white people just sat back and let crazy Obama in 2012 get re-elected while they hated the Mormon Mitt Romney a true American who gave a care unlike Trump who didn't care and hated a joke made by Obama that he never had to go but went to get his communist ego a try and run for President and showing he loves communism too much. Besides I never voted for Hillary you ignorant drunks. She couldn't even defend herself against the maniac. I won't say who I voted for in 2016 and 2020 in November. However I never voted for Biden in 2020 you phony Conservatives. Where were you when Kay Granger and crooked son were destroying businesses. Yep like no where. Just thinking the Trinity River Water District is fine and dandy when they waste tax dollars. Do I want to attend a convention in Alamo City full of disgusting hobos and communist. Nope. I swear maybe you should look at the mess of allowing George W Bush, Rick Perry, Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, Greg Abbott to help destroy America with their way or the highway mentality. Maybe both parties need to stop appeasing to terrorist, communist, Islamist, Neo Nazis, Zelensky, Tony Blair. I hope closed primaries happen.
In Tarrant County you let a media hound name Tim O'Hare run the county with his conspiracy theory junk and the Dems on that commission all think the police is bad. I first heard of Tim on the East Coast and thought he was a tyrannical clown. Coming almost 1,300 miles west and see the state is now full of Zealots on both sides intimidating people who want solutions not made up conspiracy crap and the police don't do their job to investigate crimes but don't respond to crime when people file a police report.
In 2024 fear mongers led by Trump, Abbott, O'Hare and by AOC plus their allies have made America, Tarrant County and Texas a joke. We the people and yes read the declaration of Independence signed in Philadelphia in 1776 since you Zealots forgot all about. We will be better off if they all left office and the country and can settle in some crazy country like Ukraine, North Korea or Iran. Also maybe Houthi held Yemen.
Read the 2022 Texas GOP platform and oh man. That Welfare section. Too bad the GOP control legislature and their Dem chair can't pass any welfare change to make able bodied adults with dependents to be working like those without dependents. But the lawmakers love the people with 12 kids and no job to be exempt from seeking work.
I hope Greg Abbott loses in 2026. That worthless piece of garbage will see why people hate that crime loving Governor. So get off of my voting history. Abbott never cares about anyone but himself. He never opposed Governor Perry closing prisons. Want facts. Abbott should take himself and wheelchair himself to North Korea where he can join his communist clown Kim Jung Un or some other crazy land.

2024.03.15 21:00 gringoswag20 The West Is Funding Two Genocides And Is Actively Creating a World War
| This is coming from a completely independent yet researched viewpoint. I completely feel as if I am not being affected by any propaganda (as hard as that is today). Ukraine Ukrainians have been completely forced into a genocide; used as pawns by the West. Putin is a known terrorist and an authoritative dictator. But he was not the one to pull out of a peace agreement in January 2022. Those were squashed when Britain sent Boris Johnson and told Ukraine to keep fighting (to weaken Russia). Ukraine is an authoritarian puppet state of America. Hardly a democracy. In 2014 the CIA led a coup to overthrow the democratically elected pro-russian government of Ukraine. To call the Ukrainian government a democracy is damn near hilarious. They have a secret police that goes to people's houses and rips them from them to place them on the front lines. Although pregnant women may not be in combat rules, they are being forced to participate in the war. All while the corrupt Ukrainian government officials buy mansions and expensive apartments in places like Dubai and America. The European governments are now propagandizing their citizens to accept and be ready to fight in a meaningless war. The American Media has laid off Ukrainian coverage, especially with the total defeat at Avdiivka. And the fact we told them to not accept a peace treaty⌠yet only decided not to fund them 2 years later? (FYI Iâm against money laundering to Raytheon, Lockheed too, but still a bit ironic) Donât mind that Norway and the West bombed the Nordstream Pipeline. Yet even though the German economy was greatly affected, they are discussing helping bomb multiple locations in and around Ukraine. Gaza From the beginning, this conflict has been devastatingly hilarious and despairing. Israel was somehow totally caught off guard by a sneak attack. Yet they developed the greatest spyware in the world, Pegasus two, and control the whole Palestinian infrastructure and Internet. itâs already come out that Israel knew about this attack for over a year. Now a country where we already give 14 Billion, needs routine billion-dollar payments. Another money laundering operation sure, but with the budding conflict between Hezbollah and Iran-backed groups, this war seems to be marching straight into a large-scale conflict. Iran doesnât want a war with America. They are regaining their feet economically. They have the missiles and showed their ability when they bombed the house of a Mossad Agent in Pakistan. The US however last year had the largest training drill with Israel, where they trained strategy for fighting a war with Iran. Changing Warfare Warfare has completely changed. Ships and Navies have been greatly affected by the use of Drones. This is evident from Ukraine to the Houthi shipping standoff with the West. Donât mind the US helped fund the Saudi Arabian embargo and genocide on Yemen (embargo on medical supplies, food, bombing civilians and famines) Iran has a very nice missile arsenal. The Drone attack in Jordan at Tower 22 is just the tip of the iceberg. Our government knows that they are just leaving our troops open to being attacked and dragging us into a major global conflict. Not only do they have zero care for their service members, but they know that they are sitting ducks for an attack. Mind you countries like Jordan and Iraq have already blatantly told us multiple times that they do not want us in their countries anymore. All this⌠while 30 Million immigrants have been let in and are being paid for by our taxes. Iâm all for the betterment of legal immigration but not when known Chinese, Middle Eastern, and African militants have been let in. A lot of the reason for these immigrants to be let into America is so that they will end up fighting in our meaningless war for a path to citizenship⌠but how sad is that? All while homeless vets commit suicide and are homeless at record rates. All while mostly everyone in America is poor and canât afford the necessities of life. All while innocent Gazans, Ukrainians, and the citizens of the world are caught in the game of power-hungry maniacs. Putin, Ali Khameneh, Xi are all bad guys. But make no mistake about it, the West is actively funding two genocides and trying to embroil the world in a global conflict. submitted by gringoswag20 to conspiracy [link] [comments] |
2024.03.15 20:06 MidMorningSol (Round 16-Last Round) "Good Things Comes in 3" MidMorningSol's third (and final) Otome mega-giveaway tournament is underway! Open Worldwide! (With a few exceptions) Three winners to be drawn Next Thursday Evening EST! (The Bittersweet 16...)
Hey everyone! Looks like this will be the last round and if you have been tabulating the number of copies of prizes...you'll notice that there's only four things left. So...how would this last round work you may ask? Welp...I do have some extra goodies to sweeten the deal. I'm going to throw in some wild cards to the winners. Trust and believe, everyone will get their fair share of prizes. So, with that being said, it's been a wild ride y'all and I really enjoyed doing this for the third time.

So for old times sake, here's the rules and regulations for the giveaway. Best of luck everyone and see you on Thursday!
So, good day my fellow otomaniacs! All the winners have responded and so we will proceed with the final round.
This is my third annual (and sadly the final giveaway of this magnitude) otome-themed giveaway for
otomegames. As of posting this thread, there are still some games that are in shipment to me so it may take a while for me to send games out.
If you won you from my previous giveaways, you can enter. No restrictions on that.
Here are the details copied and pasted from the last tourney because I'm lazy.
So to give you all the details:
Each week on Thursday evening (Eastern Standard Time) I will pull 3 winners and get their prize selections. Reason being there are three copies of each game listed. I have a number of games available and each week the number of games will decrease as a result. If you haven't participated before think of this as a last man standing situation. The tourney will end once all games have been claimed.
Rule for winners: Once I have pulled your name, you will have until the next day (Friday afternoon (Cutoff 02:00 PM EST)) to respond to me, if I do not hear from you, I will go ahead and pull for another winner(s) until I get a response, in a timely matter. This is to help facilitate the rounds because I did have some hang-ups in the previous tourneys I held and I don't want to experience that.
Almost anyone can enter as I'm shipping worldwide (Exceptions being Isreal, Russia and Ukraine as far as I know) this time just make sure you post just once in this thread. So spread the word if you know someone! I want to be able to give folks the chance to experience some awesome stories.
Now, here are the available prizes you can choose from. They are categorized into series pickup and One-offs. If you choose a series pickup you can only have 1 complete series. If you choose some one-offs you can pick 2 games. By next post (week), I will update the roster so folks know what still is available.
All games will be new Standard Edition North American Switch copies (With the exception of 4 games which I will asterisk). But no fear as the Switch is region-free.

2024.03.15 15:06 glitch82 No MoreâŚ.
I voted for Obama twice. I voted for Hillary. I didnât vote in 2020 because I didnât like either candidate, but the last 4 years has solidified my absolute lack of trust in the party, in Biden, in the direction theyâre taking the country and Iâm fed up. We used to be the party that opposed war, stood with the lower income families, was proactive in reigning the power of corporations especially their capacity to harm communities and our country. Instead, all I see now is those who seem to only care about Ukraine and how much support theyâre getting, and those who arenât interested in fostering peace in the region. Itâs take out Putin at all costs. Iâm not sure these maniacs wonât put their foot down at sending our own boys over there to fight for them, or even tempt WW3 just because they canât give Russia a single inch. Itâs absurd.
Then, thereâs the absolute insanity of caving to the voices of fake trans activists who are more interested in confusing kids with ideas about gender being a spectrum, enabling kids and affirming them to take non-reversible, long term and risky medical treatments for a condition thatâs supposed to affect a fraction of the population but seems to be taking off like the latest trend. They want more than just the freedom to do whatever they like with their bodies, they want to control our thoughts and behavior by forcing us to accept them as though theyâre exactly the same as their preferred gender, to call them by their preferred pronouns, and they want to make it illegal to disagree with them in any way or they will label you a transphobe. Itâs disgusting that our leaders are not only caving to these narcissists even when real, genuine trans people have stated many times that they like to blend in instead of draw attention to themselves, but theyâre now designated a protected class which means your rights arenât as important as theirs.
And the party seems completely and utterly unaware of the plight of lower income working class in this country. âThe economy is doing great!â meanwhile, 18% inflation, high interest rates that may go higher and devaluation of our currency would like to have a word with you. Groceries and food are much more expensive, gas is much more expensive, and they lie and say itâs because companies are price gouging. Absolutely not, when you look at their balance sheets youâll see that their expenses have gone up so they had to raise their prices in order to avoid going out of business. Profits are the same but expenses are higher. And if thatâs true, and they are price gouging, why only now and not back when Trump was president? No one can seem to answer that question.
Iâll spare you the paragraph I was about to write where I went from being convinced Trump was some kind of insurrectionist to now clearly observing him get politically persecuted by the courts.
Actually, no, I wonât spare you. The fact that Fani Willis met with Kamala Harris before the indictment should raise enough suspicion, but also the fact that the J6 committee only had Democrats, declined to have Republicans, obstructed and deleted evidence is telling. Whistleblowers that have come forward saying there were bus loads of undercover federal agents who breached the Capitol before the actual protesters had even marched there, combined with the pipe bombs they never talk about anymore because no one believes they were somehow found separately only 15 minutes within each other, and video showing the protesters were clearly being led around the Capitol by police and even giving them fist bumps just cements the idea that thereâs something completely off about the entire event and it did not happen the way the media portrayed it. It was a setup. A false flag, made to forever destroy the MAGA movement that threatens their power.
Then thereâs the unparalleled censorship, information suppression, election interference, their suppression of adverse events related to the COVID vaccine and suppressing legitimate discussion of lockdowns and masks and you start to wonder how they could ever call Trump the fascist dictator when theyâre guilty of ALL of that.
Thatâs it, Iâm done. Iâm voting Trump for my first time.
Anybody else feel the same?

2024.03.12 15:58 saltfanscribe Trump reviewed by ex staffers
I went down a rabbit hole last night and compiled what I think is a pretty comprehensive list of Trump's ex cabinet members, staff and key supporters who have had a change of heart. Let me know if I forgot anyone.
35 Ex cabinet members offer insights
These are the reviews of the conservative Republicans who Trump hired for his cabinet and inner circle, people who he claimed were the best
No other presidential candidate in history has so many detractors from his inner circle.
Mike Pence, Vice President
Has actively campaigned against Trump, even after he got out of the race, and is reportedly unlikely to endorse him
He asked me to put him over the Constitution and I chose the Constitution, and I always will.â
Rex Tillerson, Secretary of State
âHis understanding of global events, his understanding of global history, his understanding of U.S. history was really limited. Itâs really hard to have a conversation with someone who doesnât even understand the concept for why weâre talking about this. I used to go into meetings with a list of four to five things I needed to talk to him about, and I quickly learned that if I got to three, it was a home run, and I realized getting two that were meaningful was probably the best objective.â He added that he âstarted taking charts and pictures with him because I found that those seemed to hold his attention better.â
âHe saw our allies as people who were weak. He used to say that over and over again. I donât know why he viewed them as weak, other than they were overseeing free countries,â he said. He expressed bewilderment at the presidentâs penchant for cozying up to authoritarian regimes.
Asked how Trump made informed decisions if the president had a hard time focusing during briefings and didnât read briefing material, Tillerson didnât hesitate.âWell, thatâs the key,â he said. âIâm not sure many of those decisions were well-informed.â The U.S. âsquandered the best opportunity we had on North Korea,â Tillerson said. With Russian President Vladimir Putin, âwe didnât get anything done,â he said. And, he added, the U.S. is ânowhere with China on national security.â
âWeâre in a worse place today than we were before he came in,â Tillerson said, âand I didnât think that was possible.â
Steven Mnuchin, Treasury Secretary
Discussed using the 25th amendment to remove Trump from office after Jan. 6. Was furious with the president after Jan. 6. Has not endorsed him.
James Mattis, Secretary of Defense
âDonald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American peopleâdoes not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us,â Mattis writes. âWe are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.â
âWe must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution,â
Elaine Chou,Transportation Secretary
âWhen I was young, some people deliberately misspelled or mispronounced my name. Asian Americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation,â Chao said. âHe doesnât seem to understand that, which says a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about Asian Americans.â
I think the events at the Capitol, however they occurred, were shocking. And it was something that, as I mentioned in my statement, that I could not put aside.â
Dan Coats, National Intelligence Director
Butted heads with Mr. Trump over Russiaâs election interference and criticized him for his handling of classified documents.
âItâs more than just a bunch of papers and what big deal is this and so forth. Lives can be lost.â
Nikki Haley, UN Ambassador
"He is unhinged; he is more diminished than he wasâŚHe is now saying things that don't make sense."
âHe is not qualified to be president.â
âHe doesnât respect the military."
I know the American people are not going to vote for a convicted criminal."
Mark Esper, Secretary of Defense
On whether Trump should be trusted with the nationâs secrets again: NO. His handling of classified documents was illegal and dangerous.
âI do regard him as a threat to democracy, democracy as we know it, our institutions, our political culture, all those things that make America great and have defined us as, you know, the oldest democracy on this planetâ
âI think heâs unfit for office. ⌠He puts himself before country. His actions are all about him and not about the country. And then, of course, I believe he has integrity and character issues as well.â
Ruled out voting Trump in 2024
Mick Mulvaney, Chief of Staff
âI quit because he failed to meet my expectations as a bossâŚ.â
Asked if he thought Trumpâs running for president was a good idea, he said: âNo I donât. I think heâs the only Republican who could lose.â
Mulvaney had said he thought it was inevitable that the former president would be indicted.
It will always be, âOh, yeah, you work for the guy who tried to overtake the government.ââ
I would not vote for him again
Richard Spencer, Navy Secretary
âThe President has very little understanding of what it means to be in the military, to fight ethically or to be governed by a uniform set of rules and practices,â
Ruled out voting Trump in 2024
HR McMaster
âPresident Trump and other officials have repeatedly compromised our principles in pursuit of partisan advantage and personal gain.â
Tom Bossert, Homeland Security adviser
He was âdeeply disturbedâ by the contents of Trumpâs call with the Ukrainian President. Bossert said he had told Trump there was no basis for the theory that Ukraine intervened in the 2016 US presidential election to assist Democrats.
Cliff Sims, Special assistant to the President and director of White House Message Strategy
Portrayed the Trump White House as a nest of infighting, backstabbing and intrigue
Omarosa Manigault Newman, director of communications
She claimed she was fired because she knew too much about a possible audio recording of Trump saying a racial epithet.
âDonald Trump, who would attack civil rights icons and professional athletes, who would go after grieving black widows, who would say there were good people on both sides, who endorsed an accused child molester; Donald Trump, and his decisions and his behavior, was harming the country. I could no longer be a part of this madness,â
âHis decisions and his behavior were harming the country.â
Bill Barr, Attorney General
âHe is a consummate narcissist. And he constantly engages in reckless conduct. ⌠He will always put his own interests, and gratifying his own ego, ahead of everything else, including the countryâs interests. Our country canât, you know, canât be a therapy session for a troubled man like this.â
âDuring his first term, the main way that could be done is by pointing out to him how this would hurt his prospects for a second term,â he continued. âOnce he wins a second term, I donât know you know what considerations can be used to push back against bad ideas.â
âHis verbal skills are limitedâ
âOne of the one of the reasons Iâm against Trump as the nominee is because I donât think heâs going to move the country forward,â Barr said.
âIâm worried that his style of governance, his continuing to pander to anger and frustration versus a constructive approach to solving our problems, is going to be chaotic and not accomplish very much,â he added. âHeâll be a lame duck president.â
âHe is detached from realityâ
Barr has repeatedly criticized Trump and does not support him for the 2024 GOP nomination.
Bill Stephen, 2020 Campaign Manager
The dishonest campaign by Trump and his underlings to convince the American people that the election had been "stolen" inspired him to resign.
âI didnât think what was happening was necessarily honest or professional at that point in time, so that led to me stepping away,â
John Kelly, Chief of Staff
âTrump is a person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should lose his life for treason â in expectation that someone will take action. A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law. Trump is a person who is not truthful regarding his position on the protection of unborn life, on women, on minorities, on evangelical Christians, on Jews, on working men and women.â
He spoke warmly about Hitler.
Trump is the most flawed person he has ever met
On the idea of a second Trump term - âGod help us.â
Stephanie Grisham, Press secretary
Trump constantly berated her and made outlandish requests,
âPresident Trump knows his supporters will likely believe âanythingâ he says, even if he knows itâs false.â
âHe knows heâs lying. He used to tell me when I was press secretary, âGo out there and say this.â And if it was false, he would say, âIt doesnât matter, Stephanie. Just say it over and over and over again, people will believe it.â He knows his base believes in him. He knows he can basically say anything and his base will believe what heâs saying.â
âIt was really hard for me to come to terms with who he was, because I really believed in him, his policies and the person I thought he was. So thatâs what I think; I think that people just would rather believe these conspiracy theories, rather than admit that they were wrong about this person,â she said.
âI am terrified of him running for president in 2024. I donât think (Trump) is fit for the job.â
Anthony Scaramucci, briefly White House communication director
âvery crazyâ, âlow lifeâ, âfull-blown racistâ, âson of a bitchâ, âmaniacally narcissisticâ and âoff his rockerâ.
âI found that when I was briefing him, I had to put pictures of him in the briefing. When I put the pictures in, it was a good sign, and when I didnât put the pictures in, you couldnât get him to focus on it.âHereâs the bad news, though. Even if you got him to focus on it, he wouldnât listen to you anyway because heâs so maniacally narcissistic. He wants to immobilize everybody around him and then he wants to go on and win the presidency anyway on this nihilistic rampage and show everybody, âSee, I wiped out all of you with napalm and I didnât need any of you.â Thatâs full blown narcissism.â
âThe return of Donald Trump would be a disasterâ
âEventually he turns on everyone and soon it will be you and then the entire country.â
Miles Taylor, Homeland Security Chief of Staff
Wrote a book on a character study of the current Commander in Chief and a caution to voters that it wasnât as bad as it looked inside the Trump Administration â it was worse.
Revealed eye-opening claims, among them that members of Trumpâs team considered sabotaging him to prompt his resignation, that some in the Presidentâs inner circle worried he was in the pocket of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that many administration officials kept letters of resignation in their desks or on their laptops.
Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State
Has not endorsed Trump. âI think Americans are thirsting for people making arguments, not just tweets.â
Expressed concerns that Trump might enter into a foreign conflict to try and stay in office in 2020.
After Jan. 6, asked for a legal analysis of the 25th Amendment removing President from office and how it would work but dismissed the idea the next day upon realizing how difficult the process would be
Betsy Devon, Secretary of Education
Publicly acknowledged that while in office she and many other cabinet members discussed the possibility of using the 25th amendment to remove Trump from office
She believes he was culpable for the violence on Jan. 6
His misguided denial of the election blocked her from getting a major education agenda policy through congress
Gary Cohn, Economic Adviser
"Itâs worse than you can imagine. An idiot surrounded by clowns. Trump wonât read anythingânot one-page memos, not the brief policy papers; nothing."
Called Trump a professional liar
Gina Haspel, CIA Director
âTrumpâs post-election behavior was 'insanity' and he was 'acting out like a 6-year-old with a tantrum. We are on the way to a right-wing coup. The whole thing is insanity,"
Alex Azar, Health and Human Services Secretary
Trumpâs âactions and rhetoricâ have tarnished the administrationâs legacy.
âThe attacks on the Capital were an assault on our democracy and on the tradition of peaceful transitions of power that the United States of America first brought to the world,â Azar wrote in his resignation letter.
âI implore you to continue to condemn unequivocally any form of violence, to demand that no one attempt to disrupt the inaugural activities in Washington or elsewhere, and to continue to support unreservedly the peaceful and orderly transition of power on January 20, 2021.â
Kevin McAleenan Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security
On Jan. 6 - I think that his rhetoric created a dangerous situation, inviting that group to D.C., talking about going down to the Capitol. I'm talking about these incidents because I think an assault on our democracy is simply beyond the pale.
âI did resign due to concerns about the politicization of law enforcement and the dangers that presented to our institutions. I made that decision 15 months ago.â
Ty Cobb, White House counsel
Defended Trump during the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and once was seen as a loyal soldier, said it was imperative for people to vote against Trump.
âHe has never cared about America, its citizens, its future or anything but himself. In fact, as history well shows from his divisive lies, as well as from his unrestrained contempt for the rule of law and his related crimes, his conduct and mere existence have hastened the demise of democracy and of the nation. Our adversaries and our allies both recognize that even his potential reelection diminishes America on the world stage and ensures continued acceleration of the domestic decline we are currently enduring. If that reelection actually happens, the consequences will extinguish what, if anything, remains of the American Dream.â
Sarah Matthews, an ex-staffer
Has warned the former presidentâs rhetoric has recently become âmore unhinged,â and called on voters to listen closely to his language.
âI do think that heâs [Trump] gotten more unhinged in his rhetoric. Obviously, Donald Trumpâs first four years in office were marked by lots of controversies, but I think that type of rhetoric that heâs using today, itâs really concerning. Itâs almost Hitler-esque in a way, especially when he talks about things like immigration, saying things like âpoisoning the blood of our country. I mean, heâs trying to prey on peopleâs worst instincts and get them angry and riled up and thatâs something he tends to do, but itâs just the rhetoric that heâs using is really concerning to me now.â
âTrump is a threat to the countryâs democracyâ
âI have said that if it is a choice between Trump and Biden in a general election, that even if I donât agree with the policies of President Biden, that I would put policy aside and I would cast my vote for him for democracy. Because I look at Donald Trump, and this is someone who has shown us he will not uphold the Constitution. And so, there is no question in my mind then that I would be voting for Joe Biden.â
John Bolton, National Security Adviser
âSo many things that I thought would be telling arguments about Trump â his character, you name it â have proven ineffective. The only thing thatâs left is Trumpâs not fit to be president. He doesnât have a conservative philosophy. He follows his own personal interest, and thatâs not what you need in a president.â
He will punish personal enemies and appease adversaries Russia and China
"He cares almost exclusively about his own interests.â
If re-elected, Trump would want to be surrounded by "a White House of serfs" to execute his orders unquestioningly.
"If his first four years were bad, a second four will be worse."
Ruled out voting Trump in 2024
General Mark Milley, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff
âWe donât take an oath to a king or a queen or to a tyrant or a dictator. And we donât take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We donât take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and weâre willing to die to protect it.â
Ruled out voting Trump in 2024
Deborah Birx, Coronavirus Response Coordinator
Described the former president's efforts on COVID-19 a "tragedy, on many levels."
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
âIt isnât like I took any pleasure in contradicting the president of the United States. I have a great deal of respect for the office. But I made a decision that I just had to. Otherwise I would be compromising my own integrity, and be giving a false message to the world. If I didnât speak up, it would be almost tacit approval that what he was saying was OK.â
Alyssa Farah Griffin, Communications Director
âDespite publicly praising the military and claiming to be the most pro-military president, thereâs a demonstrable record of Trump bashing the most decorated service members in our country, from Gen. Mattis to Kelly to Milley, to criticizing the wounded or deceased like John McCain. Donald Trump will fundamentally never understand service the way those who have actually served in uniform will, and itâs one of the countless reasons heâs unfit to be commander in chief.â
"And so I just would encourage others to come forward because we're running out of time in order to try to stop Trump from being in the Oval Office again."
âThe people Iâm most hoping to reach and convince that Trump is terrible for our country, are people who, like I once did, support him.â
"Fundamentally, a second Trump term could mean the end of American democracy as we know it, and I don't say that lightly.â
Cassidey Hutchinson, White House aide
"The fact that he feels that he needs to lean into being a dictator alone shows that he is a weak and feeble man who has no sense of character and integrity and has no sense of leadershipâ
âI think that Donald Trump is the most grave threat we will face to our democracy in our lifetime, and potentially in American history.â
Michael Cohen, former Trump lawyer
"I stated emphatically that Donald Trump is a racist, he's a liar, he's a con man, he's a cheat, and over the course of the years, I've called Donald Trump what? The grifter-in-chief.â

2024.03.08 17:21 MidMorningSol (Round 15) "Good Things Comes in 3" MidMorningSol's third (and final) Otome mega-giveaway tournament is underway! Open Worldwide! (With a few exceptions) Three winners to be drawn Next Thursday Evening EST! (So...I got some interesting news with one of the titles.)
Folks, I was cleaning out my piles of boxes and came across some extra copies of Nightshade. I must really love this game LMAO. So yeah, it's getting resurrected with two more copies up for grabs.
Also, tis the end of all the series pick-ups. Amnesia and Piofiore series pick up has been claimed. It's all one offs for now as well as the last copy of Lover Pretend is going bye-bye! Sympathy Kiss still has two copies up for grabs.
So, good day my fellow otomaniacs! All the winners have responded and so we will proceed with the next round. I won't lie this time around. We are at dwindling numbers with the amount of available prizes. (Makes me sad that it's ending...). We got some last copy games still hanging around. Check the ones with two check marks to be certain.
This is my third annual (and sadly the final giveaway of this magnitude) otome-themed giveaway for
otomegames. As of posting this thread, there are still some games that are in shipment to me so it may take a while for me to send games out.
If you won you from my previous giveaways, you can enter. No restrictions on that.
Here are the details copied and pasted from the last tourney because I'm lazy.
So to give you all the details:
Each week on Thursday evening (Eastern Standard Time) I will pull 3 winners and get their prize selections. Reason being there are three copies of each game listed. I have a number of games available and each week the number of games will decrease as a result. If you haven't participated before think of this as a last man standing situation. The tourney will end once all games have been claimed.
Rule for winners: Once I have pulled your name, you will have until the next day (Friday afternoon (Cutoff 02:00 PM EST)) to respond to me, if I do not hear from you, I will go ahead and pull for another winner(s) until I get a response, in a timely matter. This is to help facilitate the rounds because I did have some hang-ups in the previous tourneys I held and I don't want to experience that.
Almost anyone can enter as I'm shipping worldwide (Exceptions being Isreal, Russia and Ukraine as far as I know) this time just make sure you post just once in this thread. So spread the word if you know someone! I want to be able to give folks the chance to experience some awesome stories.
Now, here are the available prizes you can choose from. They are categorized into series pickup and One-offs. If you choose a series pickup you can only have 1 complete series. If you choose some one-offs you can pick 2 games. By next post (week), I will update the roster so folks know what still is available.
All games will be new Standard Edition North American Switch copies (With the exception of 4 games which I will asterisk). But no fear as the Switch is region-free.

Gee, I wonder which game it could be y'all? It couldn't possibly be a brand spanking new release that has a giant banner on
otomegames and rhymes with empathy bliss. Okay maybe sympathy and empathy don't rhyme but that's besides the point lol. Oh and a moment of silence of Collar x Malice, it fell along with Dairoku and some other ones I may have missed.
So, good day my fellow otomaniacs! All the winners have responded and so we will proceed with the next round. I won't lie this time around. We are at dwindling numbers with the amount of available prizes. (Makes me sad that it's ending...) Hence I had to throw another combatant in the ring, although I don't see this contestant lasting too long since its brand spanking new. On top of that, now the Amnesia Series pick up joins the chopping block brigade. So be wary if you are looking to nab this title as there is only one copy left as well as the hot new release!

2024.02.29 17:28 toppenstorybro Lex's podcast with Tucker Carlson is quite bad
Carlson rambles and chuckles like a maniac. Says he judges leaders by how their countries look like and how it is to live there. Then he praises Moscow because buses are clean. Lex doesn't even mention Russia has huge problem with suicides and more abortions than any country in Europe. Carlson can't stop being amazed by Moscow's metro, while foreseeing collapse of USD and doing that maniacal laugh. Lex throws a joke or two. Carlson says Russian oligarchs have nothing to do with the war in Ukraine so why take their yachts.
Did I mention Lex started this podcast by saying that he heard all the criticism and disagrees with it, because he, in fact, does ask hard questions. He questions nothing...
Maybe the second half is better but oooffff it really doesn't justify its existence.

2024.02.25 23:45 Myjam_istohavefun SKZ have reached platinum level of success.
I've been thinking about writing this down since a few months now and I believe it's finally the right time to post it. Alternative title: A celebration to our boys achievements and growth!
The release of "God's menu" in 2020 marked the beginning of SKZ's unstoppable growth. Naturally, most groups/artists that release a hit as big as God's menu reach the peak of their career with that, but for SKZ it was just the beginning. "Back Door" that followed the release of "God's menu" was received with tons of excitement and gained extra interest to the group. At the same time, SKZ content started becoming more and more popular and people started checking out their older releases, something that's really rare and barely ever happens in the K-Pop world.
In 2021 "Thunderous" and "NO EASY" album came out to only make the fandom increase and the boys legacy to grow even more. Red Lights, a b-side from the album, surpassed many promoted comebacks of 4th gen groups in views, likes, comments and Spotify streams with no promotion, fandom did this alone. If that's not power and influence tell me what it is. Album sales grew as expected with an increasing demand for their older album releases as well. "NO EASY" is up to date one of their most (if not the most) loved album releases with b-sides like Domino, WOLFGANG, Mixtape: OH, Cheese, Silent Cry and the previously mentioned Red Lights becoming hits among the fandom and fan favourites.
2022 was the year "Maniac" and "ODDINARY" mini album were released for the boys to break their sales record and release one of their most creative and high-fashion MVs. "Venom" recently became their first group b-side MV to surpass another milestone as the first group b-side MV to get to 100M views (note: Red Lights is a unit b-side). "Maniac World Tour" is the highest grossing tour of a 4th generation group with an outstanding number of 776,000 atendees and 71,5M$ earned (just for the stats: more than double tickets compared to the second largest tour held by a 4th gen K-Pop group, record held by TXT). During summer they released "Circus", their most successful Japanese comeback til this day and their first one to surpass 100M views on YouTube. They exited 2022 with the release of "Case 143" and "Maxident" mini album, a quite experimental album that featured the hit b-side by dance-racha "Taste" and my personal favourite of the album "3Racha" by (obviously) 3Racha. "Case 143" became a hit in Japan and helped the fanbase to significantly increase there.
2023 was a very strong year for them as well. With the release of "5 Star" full album in early June they broke the record for the most pre-ordered album by a K-Pop act at the time (was later broken again by SEVENTEEN) with a whopping number of 5,1M preorders and it easily surpassed 5,2M sales after that. The album includes a variety of genres with their beloved EDM/rap/hip-hop songs becoming fan favourites, songs such as "TOPLINE", a collab between SKZ and famous Korean rapper Tiger JK (3Racha are huge fans of his, especially Han), "Hall of Fame" and my personal favourite "Super Bowl" became instant hits within the fandom, but ballads like "Youtiful" and chill jazz songs like "Collision" were loved as well. In November we were awed with the release of "Rock Star" and "Lalalala" had one of the most spectacular MVs in the whole K-Pop industry, album is SKZ's classic EDM masterfully blended with rock and pop-rock. "MEGAVERSE" quickly turned out to be an insanely popular b-side and amassed a large amount of views and streams in a very short period of time. I have to highlight that during 2023 we got our boys personal Instagram accounts (with the exception of Lee Know and Han) that are thriving and we're here for it.
Now that I finished with history stuff I'm gonna mention some random records/achievements/milestones of the boys:
- God's menu is the most liked MV by a 4th generation K-Pop group.
- SKZ have the most comments under their MVs than any other 4th gen act.
- Their b-side MVs get more likes and comments than official promoted comebacks by 4th gen groups.
- They're one of the only groups that are involved at such a degree to their music production and songwriting. 3Racha especially broke records in that field.
- Stays have surpassed Blinks in number in many European countries (stats figured out by album sales, members popularity and interest and overall demanding) like Russia, Ukraine, Finland, Greece, Italy, Poland etc. This is very important since we all know that Blinks are the second largest K-Pop fandom in the world, so surpassing them even in just a few countries is a huge accomplishment.
- Their YouTube content is the third most popular content by a K-Pop group overall behind only BTS and Blackpink.
With all that SKZ proved they're the kings of 4th gen and only sky is the limit for them! And yes, they indeed reached platinum level of success! Now all we need is an even larger world tour and I think we deserve it. I didn't write about their early years in my post so feel free to add achievements and milestones from back then in the comments. I'd like to see some appreciation for the fandom as well because post was already long and I'd like to write a whole page devoted to Stays and have a beautiful discussion in the comments as usual :) Last but not least, thank you guys for this beautiful community here on Reddit, you're all amazing!

2024.02.24 22:04 MidMorningSol (Round 13) "Good Things Comes in 3" MidMorningSol's third (and final) Otome mega-giveaway tournament is underway! Open Worldwide! (With a few exceptions) Three winners to be drawn Next Thursday Evening EST! (The unluckiest round? No way.)
Ah, unlucky number 13. It's a thing if you are superstitious. Unfortunately for two more titles, their luck has run out. I'm talking Dairoku as well as Steam Prison are out of the running. But for three folks who comment, it won't be so unlucky! So, apologies everyone for the late post. Had pressing matters to take care of prior but I'm back with the newest round.
So, good day my fellow otomaniacs! All the winners have responded and so we will proceed with the next round. There's still plenty of games to be won. However, Bakumatsu Renka Shinsengumi: Jinchuu Houkoku No Shi **, Lover Pretend, Bu$tafellow and the Piofiore Series Pick Up, are still on the chopping block brigade. So be wary if you are looking to nab this title as there is only one copy left.
This is my third annual (and sadly the final giveaway of this magnitude) otome-themed giveaway for

The tourney will end once all games have been claimed.
Rule for winners: Once I have pulled your name, you will have until the next day (Friday afternoon (Cutoff 02:00 PM EST)) to respond to me, if I do not hear from you, I will go ahead and pull for another winner(s) until I get a response, in a timely matter. This is to help facilitate the rounds because I did have some hang-ups in the previous tourneys I held and I don't want to experience that.
Almost anyone can enter as I'm shipping worldwide (Exceptions being Isreal, Russia and Ukraine as far as I know) this time just make sure you post just once in this thread. So spread the word if you know someone! I want to be able to give folks the chance to experience some awesome stories.
Now, here are the available prizes you can choose from. They are categorized into series pickup and One-offs. If you choose a series pickup you can only have 1 complete series. If you choose some one-offs you can pick 2 games. By next post (week), I will update the roster so folks know what still is available.
All games will be new Standard Edition North American Switch copies (With the exception of 4 games which I will asterisk). But no fear as the Switch is region-free.
Claimed Prizes will be denoted with a check mark Like this:â
, if a prize has all three copies claimed then it will have the strikethrough feature to notify its out of the running. Y'know,
like this. Eligible Prizes are as follows:

2024.02.18 02:34 watifurdadpulledout CIA Killed Alexei Navalny!!!!
Why would Putin kill someone who is already in Jail? Putin has already won the fight, fair or not against Navalny, He just got a interview where he looked like he was decent enough to negotiate with. He said himself he was open to that outcome. The only ppl this death benefits is the Defense Contractors, The Military and CIA all of whom benefit from making Putin look like a maniac so People will continue to fund the Ukraine War. It all leads to spending more money.

2024.02.16 21:57 MidMorningSol (Round 12) "Good Things Comes in 3" MidMorningSol's third (and final) Otome mega-giveaway tournament is underway! Open Worldwide! (With a few exceptions) Three winners to be drawn Next Thursday Evening EST! (Got some repeat winners. 3 so far. )
What are the odds of that happening? I'd say those repeat winners are some kind of lucky eh? But you know what isn't so lucky is that Code Realize is out of the tourney. GG Code Realize, you had a great run!
So, good day my fellow otomaniacs! All the winners have responded and so we will proceed with the next round. There's still plenty of games to be won. However, Bakumatsu Renka Shinsengumi: Jinchuu Houkoku No Shi **, Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani, Lover Pretend, on the chopping block. And add to that Piofiore Series Pick Up, Steam Prison** and Bu$tafellows join the chopping block brigade. So be wary if you are looking to nab this title as there is only one copy left.
This is my third annual (and sadly the final giveaway of this magnitude) otome-themed giveaway for
otomegames. As of posting this thread, there are still some games that are in shipment to me so it may take a while for me to send games out.
If you won you from my previous giveaways, you can enter. No restrictions on that.
Here are the details copied and pasted from the last tourney because I'm lazy.
So to give you all the details:

2024.02.09 23:07 MidMorningSol (Round 11) "Good Things Comes in 3" MidMorningSol's third (and final) Otome mega-giveaway tournament is underway! Open Worldwide! (With a few exceptions) Three winners to be drawn Next Thursday Evening EST! (Super Bowl Edition)
Are you ready for some football? (Or hand egg as some y'all may refer to it as?) I never am. I don't like watching sports for the most part. But we are still going strong in the giveaway! Winding down but its still going! Is your fav still in the game?
So, good day my fellow otomaniacs! All the winners have responded and so we will proceed with the next round. There's still plenty of games to be won. However, Bakumatsu Renka Shinsengumi: Jinchuu Houkoku No Shi ** is the main one on the chopping block still and even more have joined the ranks it seems. Whew-wee. So now, we have The Code Realize Series Pick up, Dairoku: Agents of Sakuratani, Lover Pretend, on the chopping block. So be wary if you are looking to nab this title as there is only one copy left.
