This is kind of election news, but it's too amazing not to share here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WERjL-mpPQ Go on a 360 adventure with Donald Trump driving you to the presidency.

zoux posted:I dunno about real blackness but I do want a president that knows what a debt limit is. See, even something like this, where the interviewer does a good job holding Carson's feet to the fire, doesn't really clarify to the audience (and Carson for that matter) what exactly a "default" does. Yes, that sounds bad, but when the average person hears that, they probably think that the U.S. will just lose a few points on its credit score for a few months, as opposed to having an economic meltdown. The real question should be: "Dr. Carson, would you be willing to not raise the debt ceiling and DESTROY THE GLOBAL ECONOMY?!"

Well if there are Russian subs in Lake Michigan shooting cruise missiles into the United States (presumably at US targets), I'm pretty sure that'd be cause for a war.

So World War 3 is starting and a dog will be the new Speaker of the House? Also living in the south is worth it for our fast food chicken options. Chicken Express is just down the street yo. Or if you don't like that, we got Zaxby's and Slim Chickens. Edit: But the racism is bad... also the poor schooling... and the lovely wages... but we have chicken.

Putin isn't very forthcoming on his military's dances. Ask him a question it bounces off, he obviates, it glances. When We bomb the Syria at least they know we know where Iran is. See that's the problem sir they see Putin as a more extreme you, a key endorsement due to a bombing mistake just might redeem you. Who did you have in mind? Don't laugh. Who do you mean? You just had him sign a nuclear development pact. Whaaaaaaaaaaat? It might be nice, it might be nice, to have Rouhani on our side. It might be nice, it might be nice, to have Rouhani on our side. Talk less! PUTIN Bomb more! PUTIN Don't let the NATO know when troops are on their door! PUTIN Imprison him. PUTIN Help Assad, sho. It's 2015 tell your people ally with Russia! Don't like the EU their coin's going down I'm so embarrassed. As for America they always threaten, so barbaric. I like that Putin guy his interests seem just more Arabic. He's really muscular, like he could lift an ox and bear it?

It has the opposite effect - the list of groups we'd least like to take over in a power vacuum in the Middle East are (in order of least bad to worst): China, ISIS, Iran, Russia. It feeds the narrative that an area without US influence is vulnerable to encroaching influence by our "enemies" that is received well to an aging populace that somehow simultaneously forgot the Iraq War but still remembers the Cold War. Plus nukes. And Israel.

We wouldn't go to war over it, and that's what matters A bigger concern would be what this does to Iran's domestic situation, in theory its fodder for the pro-nuke crowd to push for resuming weapons programs, but as I understand it their pro- nuke people are also pro-Russia and they held a vote on the deal already.
