Intelligence community (including FBI) agrees Russia tampered with US elections

Does anyone else here listen to hip-hop?

Now you're just trying to confuse me on purpose.

At what point does it stop being a small arm and start being a fieldpiece?

That's not even the hard part. The hard part is when your SO is exposed to one of these babies and then wants to have That Conversation as soon as you get home.

Depends, is it colder than Mars?

Trump also held a press conference today, only he didn't, because he chickened out. Buck-buck-braaawck, ladies and gentlemen, the president-elect of the United States.

WHY DO YOU LIVE THERE

Small company == no leverage with the insurance providers. Providers that know my employer must provide health plans to its employees. Really the entire for-profit healthcare industry needs to be beaten to death with a barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat. But I digress.

Now aylwin has nothing to say to us?

How much do you weigh? Totally unrelated question, I swear.

Man, that sounds like fun.

I would be one as well, but in the end it's going to drive up health care costs for all of us. As it is the employer-provided insurance options at my work are so outrageously expensive that I was going to have to go over to Obamacare next year anyway.

Yes, but all the evidence points to the Russian government. Russian metadata, Russian servers, Russian infiltration techniques. In the intelligence world, "high confidence" means "smoking gun".

Do you think you're going to get away with shifting the blame this time?

Putin personally directed US election hack

Full page ad addressed to electors in many states today:

I've often thought that I should develop a drinking problem. I've certainly earned it.

After you told us to cut aylwin's mike? Isn't that kind of mean, by the way?

We already have instances of these clowns rushing into pizza joints, assault rifles blazing, to rescue infants from the child trafficking rings that they know are in there. Literally.

Is it any wonder that Tarkin and the Emperor faced a revolt led by members of the landed aristocracy?

Well, it's not impossible. If neither candidate gets 270 electoral votes next monday, and if the House doesn't automatically flip the resulting contingent election to Trump, then balloting would continue in the House until one of the top three vote-getters earns a 26-vote majority of the statewide contingents in the House. This was supposed to be the path to the presidency for whatshisname in Utah. It is still desperately unlikely, however, as the electors are already receiving rather serious death threats from Trump supporters. (Yes, contingent elections in the House are apparently very odd--counted by state, not representative. IANACL.)

In my experience Fantasy Hero mages do require additional cost and limitations to prevent them from becoming to versatile and taking over the campaign. A mage with an RKA, Invisibility, and Superleap can be somewhat approximated by a normal. A mage with Telekinesis, Teleport, and Desolid can't. Even a few inches of Flight can make a wizard completely invulnerable to a majority of fantasy encounters, forcing the GM to equip everyone with bows and populate the countryside with harpies and dragons.

Whichever is more difficult.
