None, because unless you're a newborn baby bland food in grease doesn't do much of anything to your body.

Der Kyhe posted:To give my two cents on this thread; As a dirty communist whore from the Northern Europe, I mostly follow this thread to see how Trump or other the crazy Republican candidates are doing. I have no interest whatsoever on this Bernie/Hillary-slapfight, although from my perspective Bernie is too far left (our social democratic) to get the actual nomination. You guys simply do not want anything like Sweden/Finland/Norway/Denmark, and it is quite understandable since you run an empire, we just exist on this northern wasteland. If you enjoyed fear and loathing on the campaign trail, you should read Thompson's obituary for nixon: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1994/07/he-was-a-crook/308699/ It's probably one of the most blistering things I've ever read. I don't think I will ever hate someone as much as thompson hated Nixon. An excerpt: 'If the right people had been in charge of Nixon's funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin.'

It's funny they flip out over Jade Helm, because I remember around 2000 I was part of an Army training unit that ran helicopter exercises flying all over the middle of Texas that included entire foreign squadrons of Apache Longbow attack choppers.  It was totally routine and unclassified NATO training poo poo, but I bet half the "BLACK UN CHOPPER" stories came from the swarms of helicopters flying at night over random cattle ranches and poo poo playing laser tag. e: For instance: http://kdhnews.com/fort_hood_herald...1a4bcf6878.html sean10mm fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Jul 14, 2015 |

Nixon's an interesting case study, because had he not been caught or had he been just a little less paranoid, he would have had a pretty strong legacy as a pragmatic republican.

Nixon basically just rubberstamped whatever his liberal Congress wanted without being too far left, while privately plotting to seize more power. His foreign policy could have been worse but wasn't really good in any meaningful way

Nixon actually proposed the health plan independently of congress, and one of the reasons it didn't pass the first time was Ted Kennedy didn't think it was strong enough (and you can argue was poltiically and/or personally motivated to prevent a major success by Nixon in an area that firmly Democrat territory.) President Richard Nixon's National Health Strategy (1971) All employers required to provide basic health insurance, including a range of specific coverage requirements Employees required to share the cost of insurance, up to a cap Insurance companies can only vary benefit packages to an extent Special insurance programs at reasonable rates for self-employed and others Replace most of Medicaid for poor families with a completely federal plan open to any family below a certain income level; cost-sharing rises with income. Nixon's Comprehensive Health Insurance Plan (1974) All employers must insure all full-time employees, with employee cost-sharing up to a cap, and federal subsidies to aid employers. Replace Medicaid with a plan open to anyone not eligible for employee health insurance or Medicare, as well as those who can't afford their coverage

Nixon's "left-leaning" ideas were generally done to gently caress with Democrats by taking their popular ideas and claiming them as his own so he could dare them to vote against them while he put on a smug face. He basically had no principles of any kind and was just grubbing for more power and prestige all the time. Even his supposedly rabid purestrain anti-communism went out the window when it let him put on a big show of being smarter than everyone else (e.g. becoming bros with Chairman loving Mao.)

Carlos Curbelo believes Donald "I beat China all the time" Trump is a Democratic party plant.quote:Miami is a hotbed for phantom candidates, complete with four federal criminal convictions in two separate cases to prove it. So perhaps it's no surprise that a local Republican congressman thinks Donald "@BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive woman" Trump's bid for the GOP presidential nomination could be a similar ploy. It's not the worst theory in the world. Not that I believe he is.

gradenko_2000 posted:My sarcasm detector is broken. Is the video fake or what? When USPol linked to it the poster was dead serious. Jumpin in this thread to explain it real quick. Everything in the video is very likely totally real footage, but they're using the EVP effect - where if you say "Listen to this ghost I recorded say 'Where's grampa?'" Then when you play the recording, it's just static, and a weird warble but your brain is primed to think it's saying "Where's grampa?" and you can totally hear it. If you watch the video closely, they do a lot of priming (about 2 minutes and 30 seconds of detailing how it's illegal to sell body parts), and then they cut to the woman describing the "costs" of the specimens. It's obviously not the cost to come in and buy your very own baby heart, it's the cost to transport and pack a specimen properly to a research lab, which they get compensated for. The biggest hint that they're not selling the specimens is the price range she gives: $30 to $100. If I'm running an illegal black market to sell something that can get me in deep poo poo, you bet your rear end I'm not going to charge 30 bucks. That's the only spot in the video where price numbers are even discussed. The rest is just having her describe the procedure so people can be shocked, shocked I tell you that an abortion procedure does in fact involve crushing the developing fetal skull. Fun addendum: The segment from 4:00 to 5:00 is actually a very good lesson in critical thinking. She describes part of an abortion procedure (turning the fetus breech). They then point out that partial-birth abortions which are banned in the US, use that method. They use this to imply that they're performing partial-birth abortions. They're arguing a˜b, therefore a===b, which is obviously invalid.

Obviously Trump's candidacy is a joke but I do think it's a mistake to dismiss his negotiating skills, and I'm not sure why the media doesn't give him more credit for this. Effecting lasting and beneficial change requires the ability to create openings and brutally exploit them, and he's got a proven record of doing just that. If I was his campaign manager I'd be pushing this into the public eye.
