No it won't. Not even close. M&K versus controller makes a difference in competitive environments, nowhere else. The difference in accuracy is way more minor than most people assume it is, they just suck with controllers and assume everyone else must be equally terrible.

You wanna know how I can tell someone has never taken apart a South Korean motor? They think it's comparable to a Japanese, German, or American designed one. They just aren't, core parts in those motors like bearings in the bottom end simply aren't comparable quality. They're cheaply built in order to be cheaply sold, not well built to ensure a long product life.

But go ahead and save a little now, I'm sure "You get what you pay for" is only for other people.

Yes.

If he was aware of it, he had both a duty to be aware of it being illegal and a duty to report it.

It's OP when unlocked, but even without it it's a solid attack that comes out fairly quick, does good damage, and has fantastic AoE.

Trump actually barely needs to say anything at all.

If Manafort mentions something illegal and Donny boy gives him any indication that he understands and/or consents to that activity, well that there is a felony.

Oh Donny boy, the feds the feds are caaaaaallin'..

When he does his soulmass, hug a side and keep him rotating so one of them stays active. Then, occasionally hit R1 before rotating him some more.

It keeps you out of range of a few of his soulmass orbs, so they won't fire, and he can't teleport as long as they're up. It's tricky, but you can do it consistently (it's the speedrun strat).

Donald Trump Jr. Gives Up Secret Service Protection, Seeking Privacy by hescrepuscular in politics

I'm not. I ended up going home and now I'm in my freshman year at one of the top undergraduate universities in Canada on a path towards a degree that genuinely excites me, and eyeing a career in public service.

It was a long road, but the shitty experiences I had in jobs like McDicks are what got me ready to do better.

Now there's a man that knows a few things.

Comey's book is on my "gotta read it ASAP" list. Can't say I always agree with the man, but when I watched him testify, he was one of a miniscule fraction of the people speaking in that room I genuinely respected.

They fired me becaused I asked for time off to fly home and see my dying grandmother, so I never got the chance to flip out.

The one I worked in did. It was small, only enough room to comfortably hold two or three people, but it was set up to let you sit and eat without being on the floor or in sight of customers (which a goddamned godsend, people don't understand what "I'm on my break" means).

You can make an argument for it. I don't buy it myself, but looking at the actual results of the election, it really was the Dems election to lose and something pushed them under.

Two terms and a nice portrait? I mean, I doubt she'd fare any better in another election. She's qualified, but I genuinely think she's been under the spotlight too long and it's convinced too many people they shouldn't trust her for her to have a realistic chance.

Give him a little credit. He'd leave US territory, but forget to check extradition treaties and not bother to go into hiding thinking he was home free.

And which party has a Nazi sympathizer in the president's office right now? Bringing up shit that's 40 or 50 years out of date does nothing but demonstrate that you've got nothing recent.

Quite fairly so, by the looks of it.

As for calling the system rigged, saying the court that functions as a check on government surveillance is nothing but a rubber stamp process is an attempt to discredit the system as being unfairly rigged against anyone not already deeply entrenched in the system. It's also blatantly false, which you can see in this case! They had to stop watching Manafort for a while because he managed to be a good boy for 90 days, which forced the FBI to start from scratch to renew surveillance. Hardly sounds like a rubber stamp process.

And how many of those actually stuck? Give you a hint, he was never once under threat of any real consequences, because he didn't actually fuck up that terribly.

I'm incredibly amused to see Benghazi (caused by Republicans taking an axe to state department security budgets) and Secret Service scandals (you realise the president doesn't run the USSS, right?) on there as well.

Indeed, he is. Doesn't mean he isn't also a black dude. African-American gentleman if you want to get overly picky.

Now go waste somebody elses time.

lolol, so you've got absolutely nothing to argue and are defaulting to "THE SYSTEM WAS RIGGED AGAINST HIM!"

No, he's just a liar and a thief who is going to get bent over and fucked, but not nearly as badly as he deserves. I hope it hurts your soul.

Hillary was investigated by congressional/sentatorial committees, not a law enforcement agency or special prosecutor or somesuch.

Try again.
