Seriously: if you have to ask what this is about, you've been living under a rock. And you can join the many discussions that somewhere mention "Trump" (hint: they're conveniently all in this "world news, current events & politics" section).

So...foregoing that discussion...how long do you think it'll take until he resigns, quits, flees the country, vanishes in thin air or otherwise else not be president anymore ?

I fully trust that the Electoral Colleges of the United States of America will elect that moron for 4 more years.

FTFY. Even though it was by a small margin? The people voted for Clinton. :x

Never underestimate the stupidity of the average American voter. Trump will get re-elected, and the GoP controlled senate would never allow an impeachment.

I doubt Pence would get his party´s nomination without Trump, much less win a general election.

Maybe Trump has a heart attack, or a massive stroke (he probably already has had one) allowing Pence to become president for a while.

Otherwise Pence will never be President.

Nothing is going to happen.
This.

Impeachment is only going forward, if the other side is fairly certain, that they can benefit from it. In terms of popularity gain, that is. Currently its mostly public Schadenfreude, not so much outrage. If it is growing who knows - but news cycles are short today. Much more likely that the next story will capture the popular sentiments of the day shortly... :)

In January 2025, after he wins the 2024 election.


nah, just kidding. Pence didn't roll well on charisma. I agree with @callmembob above, that Pence can't and wouldn't win as the headliner.

@Memoir Tucker Carlson on Fox is also rooting for Yang. And his shows is one of the most watched shows on television, so Yang has a chance to be more known.

I gave up on Bernie Sanders. He got a taste of the millionaire life. And is now being a hypocrite. He complains why do people need to own multiple yachts yet he has 3 houses in not so cheap areas. And he’s playing into identitarian politics, like the female wage gap that has been debunked continuously for over 50 yrs.

Now he’s just saying what people wanna hear for votes. Yang doesn’t seem to be doing this.

He won't resign, and he won't transfer power peacefully when he loses. The presidency is the only thing protecting Trump from prosecution, and he knows it.

The rest of the Republican party isn't so much protecting Trump as they are protecting themselves. He's the face they're using to absorb all the blame, but a lot more people have been dipping their hands into the Russian honeypot, as well.

@Taleweaver,

All are the CORRUPT. They are the coward human being that doesn't make Earth better ever. Never. They are the MONSTERS, LOVELESS, SELFISH, MONEY LOVER AND GREEDY. So I dont bother to vote none of them. The POLITICS are CORRUPTIONS! Always was and always will be. Earth will not survive because of stupid human being like them.

There's just something about him that has me hopeful..

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
