Many people in trump's orbit have gone to prison but he's the first one I know of that got out of jail and decided he wanted right back in.

Question: in the probable event (since he’s said it on the campaign trail repeatedly) that trumpy bear decides to withhold federal aid from California, what can California actually do in response?

Entirely possible I’m wrong on that.

Wouldn't their senators be able to hold up federal aid to anyone else they chose as retaliation? I seem to recall that happening in the past after Hurricane Sandy if I remember right?

It also looks like CA gives about 3x back the federal government in tax then what they receive in federal funding. Might not work out so great if the feds withhold their half of the bargain.

I feel like you'd need a whole bunch of banks to side with California over the rest of the US and refuse to process transactions for the IRS to accomplish tax withholding as a state.

He's been saying he's among the best in the world at a couple games while demonstrating quite clearly that he barely knows how to play them, and showing off progress that even NEETs/streamers can't compete with. Any additional context is just the details of how people figured that out.

Dude's so busy being extremely online with Twitter shitposting that he doesn't even have time to play video games, lol. There was a graph going around showing how much and when he tweets, Musky boi is DEEP in the K-hole shitposting quite literally through the night getting very little if any sleep. Oh and then there's some baloney about having his money work for him at various companies he cosplays as CEO at but you're a fool if you believe any of that by this point. Once he's done carrying a sink through the lobby for the cameras and PR pieces he goes back to shitposting and stabbing growth hormones into his rear end again.

I miss the days when Steve Wozniak would mail photos of his game boy tetris high scores to Nintendo Power & he was so dominant they stopped letting him do that so others would have a chance, and there was zero doubt yeah he was really getting those scores.

The Diablo 1 speedrun record that stood for over a decade was recently found to be illegitimate. Each floor was run separately and spliced together with hacked save files, the runner changed the time on their computer to generate more optimal level placement, and in some points they stitched together different bits of footage seamlessly (at least, in video -- you can see evidence of the splice in the audio stream). If there is any type of gamer you don't want to draw the ire of, it's ARPG dorks.

I think most recently he's gotten into, out of, and back into cryptocurrency, as well as having a stroke and then deciding the best thing to do would be to become a Serbian citizen to promote how great it is there and how there's definitely nothing going on in Kosovo. Turns out a month and a half of not being able to form new memories after massive physical head trauma is a real solid sign of brain damage.
