FAUXTON posted:I thought most of what credit she claimed regarding Iran was the imposition of sanctions. Granted, I don't think she's going to be blowing up the JPOA on January 21 but "I negotiated sanctions" isn't the same as supporting the nuke deal. Everything I've read states, more or less, that she supported the nuke deal but was also taking countermeasures in the event that it fell through. There was a brief fracas as people misinterpreted that to mean she was secretly sabotaging the deal behind the Executive's back.

Jarmak posted:What the gently caress does female body armor even mean? Nothing about wearing body armor is form fitting. It ought to fit tightly enough to not slide around, though, and if you're talking about bodies that are generally smaller, narrower-waisted, and with big ol' boobs on the front, then I can imagine it would require a redesign to make it fit in a functional manner. This exact issue with women's workware won somebody a bunch of money on Dragon's Den recently. Maybe they'll expand their product line!

Body armor manufacturers and police unions are already on that, for the record. It's not a new problem and female body armor exists.

UFOTofuTacoCat posted:What a long strange trip it's been. It's kind of wild how he was President. The funniest part to me is how his mistakes were always portrayed as 'folksy' by the right because he occasionally disposed of some mesquite limbs on Crawford Ranch during photo ops--then he promptly sold the ranch and moved to a ritzy suburban gated community after that image was no longer needed. And how his lengthy vacations at the ranch were always justified because 'he's ranchin' unlike that candy rear end nig...um, democrat Obama'  Such a loving shill.

Yeah, I'm not going to believe that Hillary's outfits are definitely boxy due to poor female body armor without a bit more evidence, it's just speculation. Furthermore, who cares

I think there is no overlap between people who spin elaborate theories about why Hillary has to wear boxy suit jackets and people who know how to fit body armor.

Like I can't get any further than imagining them standing at the podiums and then my brain just shuts down. My personal fear is that Trump is going to "win", in the sense of going for easy applause lines and misogynistic low blows, constantly interrupting so that Hillary can't get a word out, and generally just waving his dick around the stage like an alpha baboon making a mating display. I have very little faith in the electorate.

Hillary won't take that poo poo. Think of all the republican cowards in the debates, afraid to stand up to Trump until it's too late. Whereas Hillary has been shadow boxing for months just waiting to light into trump. She probably has zingers ready for when he tries to interrupt. I will admit I'm a little worried that she'll play them up in a way that sounds contrived, but even so they will be devastating.

I learn about modern body armor from video games and if R6: Siege has taught me anything it's that Clinton already has the most fashionable women's body armor because it is missing 30 pouches and doesn't cover 80% of the face or make her look like a teletubby.

Keep in mind two things: that idiocy make his uphill climb to capture the female vote even harder, and whoever the media says wins is by and large meaningless. Also, there are three debates and Clinton is competent enough to adjust tactics (like Obama did) even if the first debate goes poorly.

I have pretty much no expectation that a Hillary administration will keep the Iran deal against the wishes of Israel. She may not actually invade Iran(which is what Israel probably really wants), but she is most likely going to toe the line with Bibi's demands as much as possible.

I can't see her being much more hawkish on the world stage than he was. So in this case Hillary's probably just going to continue what Obama started, because Obama already did the "hawkish" part of establishing the base with rather flimsy international legality. fade5 fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Jun 8, 2016 |

She may not actually invade Iran(which is what Israel probably really wants), but she is most likely going to toe the line with Bibi's demands as much as possible. If she did that without strong evidence of Iran violating the terms of the deal, there would be a lot of backlash. It has fairly broad (though not universal) support in the party.

PhazonLink posted:Broken record repeat/reminder: Texas elected a woman dem because a sexist shithell acted like a sexist shitheel. Well that was before the great Texas R/D realignment. The Texas Senate was majority D until 2001. I'm not saying Ann wouldn't be a modern Democrat, she's kind of the prototype of the idealized democratic woman, but R vs D wasn't as clear back then.

Shageletic posted:I've seen Clinton Initiative folk work in Africa first-hand, and even though they are kinda known as being green and a little high-handed compared to orgs like VSO or Save the Children, they do a lot of good work and bring some real money to communities that need it. It's even more bizarre when you've looked at their tax filings and seen that most of the executive board gets $0 in salary. It really blows the narrative of charity-as-sinecure out of the water when the kid you have working there donates a couple hundred grand a year( Chelsea gets about 50k a speech and donates it to the foundation ) and gets no salary at all. The problem comes down to narratives. We have all sorts of negative stories about powerful women and you can easily prompt people to cast Hillary as a villain by attributing some element of a story to her. People are loving shocked to see the column of $0 salaries because it is the exact opposite of what the story of the corrupt charity has trained them to expect. I'm phone posting over lunch but I'll try to do an unwinding of all the bullshit narratives in that "but I don't trust her" post tonight.
