The post has received 108,000 likes since being posted by u/winooskiwinter on September 4.

“This is a constitutional issue. Those metal detectors are there to detain us, and that’s a violation of Article I Section 6 of the Constitution,” Clyde said during a Friday night interview on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle. “We represent 700,000 people in our districts, and the Constitution says that we cannot be impeded when we go to the floor to vote, and those metal detectors are unconstitutional,” he added....
Trump’s tweets calling for four freshman congresswomen — New York’s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Michigan’s Rashida Talib, Minnesota’s Ilhan Omar and Massachusetts’ Ayanna Pressley — have been at the center of controversy when the president said the women should “go back” to their home countries. However, all but Omar were born in America. Omar became a naturalized U.S. citizen at age 17 after emigrating from Somalia with her family. Kobach, who is running for a senate seat in his home state of Kansas, appeared on Cuomo Prime Time to discuss what Trump meant by his tweets and non-reaction or defending the president’s words by many Republicans....
The Texas law effectively bans all abortions—including in cases of rape and incest—after six weeks. Reproductive rights advocates have pointed out that most women do not even know they are pregnant at six weeks, meaning the law essentially bans all abortions in the state. During a Sunday interview with ABC News’ This Week, Cassidy downplayed the criticism of the Supreme Court’s ruling. The GOP senator said that the decision was not about the constitutionality of the Texas law....
Through this maelstrom glided the eloquent, apparently confident figure of Gorbachev–more verbose than usual, but otherwise dominant. Yet my respect for this extraordinary tour de force could not obscure the conviction that Gorbachev’s role as a deus ex machina is ending. Not that I expect him: to be overthrown. I have no: way of judging such a prospect; I would surely regret it. But the upheaval he has wrought will force Gorbachev to rely increasingly on unfamiliar constituencies....
Alonso rejected Barca for Chelsea The Premier League leaders had identified the 34-year-old as the ideal back-up for Thibaut Courtois in case Asmir Begovic left for Bournemouth, but Chelsea had two bids knocked back by Celtic. Gordon has now made the decision to commit his long-term future to Celtic instead and will stay put for an additional three seasons. “It has taken a little while after the interest in the January window but it is good to finally get it done and concentrate on the rest of the season,” Gordon said....
In the same year that the first Witcher title was released, the Assassin’s Creed franchise launched. Although the games have had different paths, both are now quite successful. One fan has taken to combining the two in a very unique way by creating a “Witcher’s Creed” piece of artwork with Ciri from The Witcher as the centerpiece. RELATED: The Witcher 3 Player Shares Beautiful Triss Merigold Fan Art The artwork by Aleksandra Skiba was uploaded recently on Twitter....
Sicknick, 42, a South River, New Jersey, native and former member of the state’s Air National Guard, was killed during the riot led by supporters of President Donald Trump. His death was a result of injuries sustained “while physically engaging with protesters,” and is being investigated as a homicide. A GoFundMe for Sicknick’s family has raised nearly $200,000 as of Saturday morning. The governor of Sicknick’s home state commended the late officer for giving “his life protecting the United States Capitol, and by extension, our very democracy, from violent insurrection....
In the gaming community, I’m an old man. I was raised on the Atari 2600, ColecoVision, and the Apple IIc, in that order. I wrote video games in high school for the IBM XT. As soon as I got my driver’s license, I’d drive down to the arcade in the afternoon and watch people playing games. That’s what you did when you ran out of quarters – you huddled around a stranger, watching him playing a game....
The agreement between the two clubs and the player has been sealed, Granada sources confirmed to Efe. The Andalusian club will pay 4.5 million euros ($5 million) for the Ecuadorian striker – the most expensive deal in the club’s history. Jose Angulo, 21, became one of the top players last season at the Copa Libertadores with Ecuadorian club Independiente del Valle –the team that surprised everyone by reaching the tournament final....
On July 25, fire crews were working to contain the Dragon Fire on the Grand Canyon’s North Rim. The blaze had spread across more than 1,300 acres last month and closed off sections of Grand Canyon National Park. On Tuesday, fire teams were preparing containment lines when they came across a backpack in a remote area about 1.5 hours from Kanab, Utah, the nearest large city, according to Idaho news station KTVB....
Although Rockstar limits the capability of mods more than some other PC games, the community has still managed to develop some legendary aesthetic and gameplay changes ranging from grappling hooks to gravity guns. Unfortunately, the team at Rockstar doesn’t have the capacity (or incentive) to test new patches against the many different modded versions of Grand Theft Auto 5. The latest patch unintentionally hits a few mods pretty hard and the creators may need to head back to drawing board to get them up and running again....
This much was confirmed during Take-Two Interactive’s Q4 earnings call, with the publisher attributing much of Grand Theft Auto 5’s success to Rockstar Games’ decision to continually release free content for the title. On top of GTA 5 moving so many units, the company also revealed that the open world game’s multiplayer component GTA Online has delivered on “its biggest year yet” for sales of in-game currency. There’s no doubt that Rockstar Games’ steady influx of free DLC for GTA Online has continued to help bolster Grand Theft Auto 5’s success, but one of the most significant factors related to the title’s soaring sales numbers is its availability on not only PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, but also on last-generation platforms as well....
The next-gen versions of Grand Theft Auto 5 have been out for over a month at this point, and while some fans have been disappointed about the lack of new gameplay features, others are enjoying the performance enhancements and stability improvements. It seems Rockstar Games isn’t done with Grand Theft Auto 5 on PS5 and Xbox Series X, however, as it has now released a new update that includes some changes specific to the new versions of the game....
This specific post comes from Rockstar Games’ Soundtrack Manager/Music Supervisor Tony Mesones, who shared a picture from a recent trip that has sparked the new onrush of theorizing among fans. Some players believe that the picture itself, having tagged Rockstar Games could be hinting at the location for Grand Theft Auto 6’s upcoming setting.

In the 1980s games were in their infancy, the games market crashed in 1983, and it seemed unlikely at the time that home console video games would ever be a viable market again. But arcade gaming was still in its golden age, with some of the best games found exclusively in arcades. Though arcades would begin to fade in popularity in the decades to follow, there are fans of arcade gaming that remain dedicated....
In celebration of the newest Grand Theft Auto Online expansion, GTA Online: Bikers, Rockstar has released an exciting trailer that shows off the new adventures that await players.

Uber Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi told Bloomberg News his company’s food-delivery in Japan, where rideshare is banned, has taken an alternative route to delivering food. Japan is a growing nation for food-delivery — still way far behind the U.S. — and the country has a very low unemployment rate. With a growing demand for food delivery, more of the elderly population has applied to become couriers. “The elderly are actually signing up for Eats couriers,” Khosrowshahi said....
Democrats currently lead the Senate with the slimmest possible majority. The legislative body has 50 Republican members and 48 Democrats, as well as two independents who caucus with their Democratic colleagues. With the even split, Vice President Kamala Harris, in her role as Senate president, can cast tie-breaking votes, which gives her party narrow control of the chamber. When voters go to the polls across the country on November 8, more than 30 Senate seats will be up for grabs....
Vestiges of the Confederacy became a political flashpoint in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, who died while in custody of Minneapolis police officers. Floyd’s death set off protests across the U.S. calling for an end to systemic racism and police brutality. Confederate monuments also became targets for demonstrators with some statues being defaced or toppled. Perceived racism in the U.S. Armed Forces also gained attention as lawmakers called for U....
