I mean, it sounds like they did ask how much it would cost, he just bulldozed through the question instead of seriously engaging with it and legacy media is too chickenshit to report it as "Trump apathetic about costs of deportation plan" or "Mass Deportation to Cost Billions Despite Trump's Claims" because putting the things he says in context makes him sound like the madman he is and apparently truth is no longer sufficient defense from defamation.

Yeah. It's not the mole people you've got to worry about, it's the moles, man.

Wait hang on you only read 2? I'm disappointed, I put a solid fifteen minutes into googling to find those 11 separate links.

I hadn't thought about it in those terms, but this makes a lot of sense. Especially in a 2-party system the election is inevitably going to be a vibe check on the status quo as much as it is a specific election focusing on specific candidates and policies. I'd like to look more closely at the margins to get a feel for whether the Republicans could have run a ham sandwich and still been successful as opposed to the specific appeal of Trumpism.

Not that that changes how rough the next 4 years are going to get for a lot of people.

Poland is a legal fiction invented by Russians, Germans, Poles and Lithuanians to disguise the true and righteous destiny of East Dakota.

What constitutes a terrorist organization is up to the electric officials and police organizations to define.

That's kind of the point, mate. In the current political climate I half expect them to start describing any organization giving humanitarian aid to Palestinians as terrorists.

But to ask the real questions: is providing material support to terrorists not already a crime in Sweden? Does having a Swedish criminal record not complicate eg visa renewals and make it harder for someone to stay in or return to the country? Assuming that's the case, why is this something that needs to be specially handled now? Is this actually a problem, or just a way to stoke racism and fear for political benefit?

These are actually two slightly different options. Mouse sensitivity is how far the cursor or camera moves based on how far the mouse moves. More sensitivity means that the camera moves more if you move the mouse the same distance.

Mouse acceleration tracks how fast the mouse moves over that distance and extends the amount the camera or cursor moves if it moves faster or decreases it if it moves slower. In some cases this can feel more natural, but in others it can make it harder to be both fast and precise in your movements, since moving faster can make you overshoot compared to making the same movement more slowly.

So the difference is not whether they're trying to be imperialists, but in their relative ability to do so. I'm sure there's some fascinating and useful graduate level historical analysis to be done in understanding why Russification was relatively unsuccessful, but that doesn't change the fact that Russia has time and again attempted to impose Russian culture, Russian language, and Russian law on parts of the Russian empire that were very happily doing their own thing.

I would fucking love to throw that man in prison for one of his dozens of crimes, but I also recognize that I don't have the power to do that. I do have some small amount of power over whether or not he goes into the fucking white house.

There's a certain spirit of online debate about trivial or nonsensical things like this that can best be understood as happening purely for the sport of it.
