Funny how our positive memories of the 90s make us smile and ignore the fact that he's a sexual predator and likely a rapist. I'm really annoyed at all the passes people give him. Christ. Nobody should ever say anything positive about Bill Clinton without stopping and reflecting on the fact that he's probably a rapist. It's not cute to call him the First Lady's Man and anyone who makes that joke should be immediately reminded that he probably forced himself on a woman for his own sexual gratification.

It's the left's version of white washing Reagan and I doubt it'll get any more noticed when the Reps made the sex scandal into a partisan attack angle instead of a serious investigation and Hillary's term in office could make him look better by extension.

He's not wrong. We literally have missiles that shoot down missiles. He's an idiot who understands ONLY that point though - no concept of how it works or what it takes to make that happen or even what the implications are. That said, she sure as gently caress didn't have it in Reagan's time.

What Trump is talking about sounds like nuclear tipped strategic ABM, which we've never really had.

The ABM that we had in the gulf was was obviously conventionally tipped, and that was the PATRIOT system which, as Dr. Zeigler said wasn't as effective as it was hyped to be (GHWB claimed it had a 97% success rate, the Army later said it was closer to 70% in Saudi Arabia and 40% in Israel). And in OIF there were several cases of Patriot batteries shooting down or nearly shooting down US aircraft.

The older systems like Nike Zeus were poop from a butt in terms of effectiveness since they could only target a single missile, and the Soviets had moved on to MRV and later MIRV systems pretty quickly.

They're trying to insinuate something nefarious about Hillary needing an earpiece to know what to say, but according to the replies to that tweet, she was giving a speech at the UN that day, so of course she'd need an earpiece.

That's almost certainly it. The partisan investigations and constant manufactured scandals make it hard to criticize the man without sounding like a conservative attack dog. I've been called a Trump supporter for bringing it up (I'm 100% voting for Hillary) and it's usually just immediately dismissed. It just annoys me because I wish we could hold up our values a little higher and not give him a platform or prominence or respect without earnestly discussing and holding him accountable (at least reputationally) for his actions.

I wonder how much of it was him always being like this and how much is it the mental deterioration that comes from living in an office with only 4chan for company.

Someone I know (center-right trump hater) just told me that Donald Trump doesn't need to show his tax returns because he's a "private citizen" but Hillary Clinton should because she's a public servant. Even though they're both attempting to become president, the most powerful public servant in the country.

They also said that Trump "being dirty" is more acceptable because he was a businessman and that's "what they do", but Clinton is too untrustworthy and un-transparent.

There seems to be an enormous double standard in how Clinton and Trump are perceived.... hmmm... what could it be....

A Good Post. If there was one thing I could communicate to all American voters...well, it would probably be that global warming is a thing, and we should probably get on with dealing with it. But a close second would be how much BMD is not an answer to the threat of nuclear proliferation and missile launches. The arms race with the Soviets was a very, very bad thing for international security. More ABMs = more nuclear weapons being built to get around those ABMs. More nuclear weapons = greater threat that those weapons and other nuclear technology will fall into the wrong hands.
