We do need to keep the discourse civil and rational to avoid drawing the Wrath of Dan. To me it just keeps going back and forth until you can't tell up from down. I think the whole thing is sideways.

Let's just be clear: said conviction was by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission/Tribunal, established in 2007 in Malaysia by its former prime minister to unilaterally investigate alleged war crimes by any nation or party. This commission has no connection to the International Criminal Court and isn't recognized by the United Nations, and its verdicts have no standing under international law, being purely symbolic. I do believe that W truly thinks he acted for the greater good, and genuinely wanted to make life better for people in America and elsewhere in the world. I don't consider him an evil man, but he is an unexceptional man, having taken on a responsibility that was beyond his capacity.

BTW you and your players may find these helpful.

Right there with you, Tjack. But for this crossover, I'd rather she wear Leia's metal bikini. EDIT: And this, Phantomxistance, is what we call thread drift. Best get used to it, it happens a lot here.

Welcome, Phantomxistance! Glad to have you aboard. We're more than happy to assist you as we can. Quick question: Which edition of Hero System is your group playing? That would lead to different resources, depending. EDIT: Assuming Sixth Edition, you might find one of these freebies to your liking:

Not gonna bust your chops any more, Hermit. Your bottom line is to try to be fair to everyone, and I have to respect that.

Hermit, I firmly believe there are substantial numbers of moderate conservatives in America, and responsible Republicans. However, they've been conspicuous by their absence on the public stage for a long time. In the GOP they were either muzzled or driven out. In the general populace they were apparently willing to tolerate the abuses by Trump and Trumpists in exchange for token nods to conservative policies. It's not enough to say that both sides need to come to the table. The Left has been pushed away from the table too many times. It's now incumbent on leaders on the Right to convince the Left that they're prepared for genuine dialogue, consensus, and compromise.

Only one side of the dispute has broadly embraced deceit, fear, and hatred. There will be no meaningful discourse while that is in play. It can only be opposed.

Penguin lover.

Maybe all the mockery Loeffler received for her mantra, "radical liberal Raphael Warnock," had the opposite effect to what she hoped.

I'm not sure I'm following the point you're making, slikmar. Are you saying that the vote totals for the Republican and Democrat candidates abruptly flip-flopped at some point during the election?

A thorough breakdown of the legal mechanisms of the 25th Amendment.

I can certainly respect your disagreement, but there are times when nothing less than violence will make people in general, and/or people in power, truly understand the gravity of the situation. I couldn't help but notice that when yesterday's Washington riots threatened the Congress members' own precious hides, most of their opposition to certifying Joe Biden's election win melted away.

If a tweet falls from Trump, but there's no platform to read it, did Trump really make a rant?

As of early 2021, I would actually believe that would be motivation for someone to storm Congress.

If you were thinking of picking up the Hero System Bestiary (which I recommend), that does include an example of a ghost, under the general "Undead" category. It uses Desolidification with various other Powers, the offensive ones bought with the Advantage, "Affects Physical World."

Absolutely love "Vanilla ISIS." I'll have to use that.

Don't know if that will fly, but I can't really argue with any of it.

You have my sincere condolences, Hermit. I know it sickens you that the likes of this thing purports to be a "representative" of your state.

One of Scott's friends in the Champions Online community reprinted this message his sister posted to Facebook: To all of Scott’s friends. He’s received 60ish emails and he is very happy and humbled by all the attention he is getting. They think he’s a minor celeb in the hospital. Still no word on how long he will be there. It’s been only one week since his surgery and he says there is no pain. Please keep him in your thoughts as he continues his journey of healing.

Right now Pelosi, Schumer, and a large number of other Democrat legislators are organizing to impeach Trump again. If that passes the House and Senate -- and the latter is not impossible given the present composition of the upper chamber, and the mood of many Republicans -- Trump would be barred from ever again holding public office. There was a lot more to Jack Kirby than just pretty pictures.

No unexpected side-effects from COVID-19 shots given in Canada so far: Health Canada Pfizer study suggests vaccine works against virus variant

If I fit on one of those I'd do the same thing.
