Yep. Trump's spending his weekend calling friends, watching Fox News, and screaming 'FBI ARE FRAMING ME' on Twitter.
Wowow I can't even wrap my head around this. Please tell me people are looking into his judicial record now. Criminal district judge? Just imagine...
Josh Peck is a gamergator???
Also JonTron's notoriety isn't even just GG anymore, he's gone full alt-right Nazi asshole.
Today in "not having our priorities straight," we have this school shooting. Deaths in US school shootings this year have outnumbered US military personnel dead. Absolutely nothing of substance will actually be done in terms of preventing future violence or trying to teach any social lessons to anyone. And we sure as hell won't openly talk about the shooter's affinity for the Trump family on social media, despite this becoming a trend among a number of killers this past year.
On the same day, a cut-rate Christian morality group is succeeding in their attempts to ban anime tits from Steam. Because, you know, gotta protect the children from boobs on the same online storefront that hosts millions of users a day playing M-rated shooters.

I just watched the video and he literally said both entrances and exits. The reporter was accurate and this governor is failing the state of Texas.
Wait.. what? That's... interesting, I hadn't heard of this. You gotta source?

tl;dr - Could be report-bombing (by actors unknown), could be SESTA/FOSTA manipulation, or could be generic lobbying because selling porn is against Washington State Law. No word yet from Valve, so everything's still unknown.
"Asked by The News if he's ever used the n-word, Vic Cunningham paused for nine seconds. He asked if the question referred to using the word in court. Told the question referred to use in everyday life, he then said no."

Here's a short now-locked thread that's awaiting more news from Valve:

As for direct stories:
NCOSE Takes Credit For Steam Censoring And Removing Ecchi Games, Visual Novels
Adult visual novels to be censored further or removed from Steam, developers say [Polygon]
Like I said in that one thread, I found it funny that this happened while I open up Steam and get a giant picture of a Hyperdimension Neptunia sale.

Yeah, segregating all that stuff would make sense. Get some digital saloon doors for the Steam store, you feel me?
Wasn't sure what this was so I Googled it. Now I'm on a list somewhere.
They just need Steam Backroom like all the rental places used to have.
I watched that live with my parents lolThis will never not be funny.
Fits the description of Stefan Halper:

The first Neptunia gamess are actually quite harmless on the grand scale of pearl clutching over this stuff. They're AAA productions compared to the kind of stuff getting warnings from Valve. Actually quite amusing JRPGs with a fantastic fourth-wall sense of humor. Not that I'd ever recommend them to anyone not already a fan of said genre. I'm in this extremely weird demographic where I freaking hate the gamergate-led push for acceptance of anime tits while I'm a fan of a lot of "mainstream" JRPGs, but at the same time I dislike the inequality of censorship of sex vs violence, and at the same time I actually still watch some anime despite having almost zero tolerance for fanservice stuff. A... "SJW anime gamer?" Disclaimer: I hate myself.
Wait. Let me go look at this.
...Actually, I take all of that back on Neptunia. This thing on sale is... lol, where the preview screenshots feature cosplay stereotypes, catgirls, bathing, borderline loli, and a yuri shot between sisters. And they're all somehow rated T, holy shit. This series went to hell, my god. The first game a decade ago had almost zero lewd content. In fact they went out of their way to largely avoid it despite being easy fodder for use.
I couldn't care less that it exists, though a back room would be awesome! Give me one for sex and one for guns. It's For The Children™, after all.
Fuck new York times for saying it's an American academic in Britain. That basically gives the enemy the identity.
Maybe Trump confused North Korea with North Dakota? It could be curtains for Supreme Leader Heitkamp.
... yep, pray for North Dakota.
User warned: inflammatory language
Yo what the fuck Maga Habermen.
You just might have gotten someone killed you clickbait bitch.

And yeah if it is him that description was way too fucking much. NYTimes what are you doing.
Yes, but if DOJ/FBI are so concerned about protecting the source, why leak this kind of information to the Times in the first place? Very odd.
Did House Intel Republicans perhaps learn about him and are behind this leak?
fwiw Stefan Halper had been named by right wing media as the informant for some time now. The NYT is more trustworthy than the Daily Caller, sure, but his identity was already burned imo.
Nunes doesn't talk to Trump directly any more, according to that "Bigger than Watergate" story, he just talks to his lawyers. But perhaps Nunes leaked this to NYT, so that he distances himself from it all even more. Trump and his lawyers can claim they just "followed what the NYT said".
There's no meaningful legal distinction between telling Trump directly and telling to his legal representation. And Trump already revealed that they passed it on because he's a dolt.
Was the academic mentioned in the dossier or was it only mentioned since the "Russia incvestigation beginings" articles since Nov/Dec last year?
Lmao @ Panera Bread
DOJ / FBI almost certainly didn't.
