Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

You know, my country is going down the shitter. One of the common dark jokes here is that when everytime another messed up news comes up, we'd say "So, did you book a ticket to America yet?"
Well, now scratch America and replace it with...I dunno, Cananda.
Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.
Look, tomorrow, we've still got bad comics to review with Linkara, Dragon Ball games to play with TFS, Silent Hill and Omnikron with TBFP...we still have the things we enjoy today and they'll stay tomorrow.
Do not despair! We are better then this!
