Good news, i am not addicted to diep.io anymore.
Bad news, i am addicted to mope.io now.
The American election is for well us in Europe like a serie who is gonna win who is gonna loose it its rediculous we are at a turning point in history serious candidates or just a freaking a hole of president trump
I would personally put Pence in the Cruz camp, and I wouldn't put him in the 'party leadership' camp either; while the Ryanites aren't popular among the current Republican base, I would consider them more party leadership because they hold the leadership positions in Congress (Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, etc).

She espouses socialist policies to her constituents, but what she does behind closed doors is total Wall Street Crony Capitalism and just outright corruption.

You have no idea what socialism looks like. Even what Bernie Sanders presented is barely socialism. Clinton is a centrist democrat behind close doors and according to her track record. She is a social democrat is rhetoric. She is very corrupt though.

Our new flag makes us look like a raider region. The red and black color scheme is what does it. It looks cool, but I just kinda noticed that.
Jaslandia, Aldaur
When I saw it, my first thought was, "looks fascist."
Jaslandia, Aldaur

sad day
Jaslandia
That's because the tea flag sucked.
Aldaur
I feel offended. :(
Jaslandia
Sorry, Peng. Not dissing your artwork. I just thought the flag looked boring.
Better put that tag up! Muhahahahaha!
It really did. But also, as a Fascist, I am not incredible keen on this one either. It reminds me of the sith from star wars.
