That’s intentional in the US, otherwise people would sell votes or get coerced to vote.

I'm excited by the specs, especially given that Red Dead Redemption 2, Battlefront 2, Call of Duty WW2, and Destiny 2 are all hitting this holiday. Should be the best way to play those games.

On paper it's incrementally better--significantly higher clocks, more RAM and much more memory bandwidth. But the bigger news is that all existing Xbox One games get 16x anisotropic filtering, framerate boosts, v-sync, and resolution bumps (if the game supports dynamic resolution).

I'm not an economist, but from what I've read, running a trade deficit isn't necessarily a bad thing. The US ran trade deficits through the 80's and 90's while the economy was booming.

And there is never a good time for war between two nuclear powers.

Trump explicitly called for a Muslim ban during the campaign. Rudy Guiliani is on camera saying that this EO was drafted as a legal way to implement a Muslim ban.

I am not a lawyer, but is seems like it should be illegal to deny refugees or immigrants based on religion.
