From a Facebook conversation involving our old friend Bunneh:
 
Conservatives: Gina Carano was canceled because of her conservative beliefs!
Me: She was canceled because she believes in trickle-down theory?
Conservatives: Uh, no.
Me: She was canceled because she likes school choice?
Conservatives: No, not that.
Me: Then which "conservative" views was she canceled for?
Conservatives: Well, uh...
Me: ?
Conservatives: That..that other one, the one we all agree on but can't actually explicitly state because of the ones of us that are part of that and agree we need them..
Me: OH! That poor people need to suffer and die because they don't all 'just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and magically become rich with magically created money', that one?
Conservatives: NO! We..uh..er..the other one, not that one!
Me: OH! That colored Americans just need to shut up and be put back in their place?
Conservatives: Ye..er, NO! T..the other one! The one about the war!
Me: OH! That you all should start Civil War II and kill everyone that doesn't agree with you!
Conservatives: F*** YOU! *BLOCK*

I have to admit I had the unknown soldier down as my detective with his trenchcoat and hat, and Plastic Man as my shapeshifter. Good moves, Psybolt and Bazza. I'm picking Happy Terrill, the Ray as my Blaster today.

“I’m opposed to mandates period. I don’t think they work. People in Florida wear (masks) when they go out. They don’t have to be strung up by a bayonet to do it.” - Governor DeSantis of Florida
 
"Maybe someone needs to tell DeSantis that you don't string up people with bayonets." - People who don't live in Florida

450,000 US Covid deaths - 1/5 of the Global deaths thanks to a non-existent national plan, constant mixed messages, flip-flopping strategies, and embracing pseudo-science.  The Trump Covid response alone is a numbers based reason that almost anyone is better than Trump and that he's one of the worst Presidents ever.

Just to keep all our terms straight: Trump has already been impeached a second time. The House of Representatives submitted a single article of impeachment to the Senate, and did so while Trump was still President. What's up next is his second trial in the Senate.
 
The difference now is that many Republicans see Donald Trump as a liability to their own political futures, particularly if he's able to run for President again in 2024. Privately many GOP legislators are sick of the man. What I have hope for is that Mitch McConnell would agree to an anonymous vote on conviction, so that any Republican who votes to convict won't be directly targeted by Trump supporters when their reelection comes up. If senators take that tactic I think they'll get the necessary majority.

You do know the Mounties caught two axe murderers this year, along with five roving murderers, a drug ring, and closed twenty + unsolved cases after finding people's skeletons.
 
And Canada has a history of police brutality against the Native population.
 
I am going to close with a story from a guy I actually know who just retired from the local highway patrol. At one point he had driven down to Georgia to pick up a computer monitor for cheap. He said he had just started patrolling, so this must have been the late 80s-early 90s. He was stopped at a checkpoint with a line of people. The Georgia HP started hassling him over the computer monitor in the back of his car, about how he stole it, and so forth. He had to show them his badge to get moved through the checkpoint without them confiscating his monitor. he said he never wanted his fellow officers to be that way to the civilians they served.
 
And Georgia has a history of assest forfeiture just on the suspicion of  drug trafficking and you can't get your money/property back without suing.
 
The police are like any other organization and follow the Chris Rock rule. You should either know this, or learn this.

The All Star Freedom League Draft
In this draft, Franklin Delano Roosevelt has ordered every superhuman in America to form into one group, the All Star Squadron. This group is instrumental to invading Europe and Japanese waters. Participating drafters have to put together mixed teams from that era to attack designated targets in front of the Allied forces.
 
The draft pool will consist of any hero active during the war such as Captain America, Nick Fury, the Shield, and Samson, any hero who had served during the war but was retconned into not serving such as Superman, Captain Marvel, Batman and Robin, and Aquaman, and any hero created with a back story of serving in the war such as the second Firebrand, Jenny Sparks, or the Gentleman can be picked. Additionally certain heroes with a long individual history such as Immortal Man, Wolverine, Jason Blood, and Zealot can be picked.
 
The same guidelines apply for the villains.
 
The first pick of the draft should be the home base of your team. This is where they assemble to do their battling against the forces of evil.
 
The last pick of the draft should be the destination of the team's invasion. A reason for that spot would be good but is optional.
 
Your team which has to be picked after the home base and before the final destination must be made up of these elements:
1) A Brick
2) A Blaster
3) A Magician/Psychic
4) A Shapeshifter
5) A Detective
6) A Speedster
7) A Patriot
 
One Master Villain/organization to fight the invasion.
 
And three options of choice as long as they fit in the era.
 
Draft Note: I know everyone likes to use time travelers when they can but only two are available as era appropriate: Per Degaton and the Doctor. Whomever can grab either one of these picks get the only time travelers allowed.  
 
The Draft will start monday, February 8th, at high noon Eastern Standard Time

I am going to put up the rules tonight when I get home from work, so we can think about what the draft lineups should be about before we start next monday. That's a whole week to argue the rules before we get started. I am going with WW2 based heroes and retcons so get ready
