Doesn't her being a porn actress make this line of attack so obvious that it should automatically fail? She doesn't have secrets. No reputation to ruin. Or am I again not being cynical enough?

So the AT&T/Time Warner deal. Bad for the average consumer or awful for the average consumer?

It's utterly irrelevant to the consumer. Remember: Time Warner's telecommunications business was spun off as a separate company called "Time Warner Cable" several years back, so it isn't involved.

If it were still involved, it would actually make it so there'd be several small cities/suburbs where only AT&T really offered internet service, but that can't happen now.

If I were running the Clinton campaign I would put a porn star in the spotlight so Donald could make a nightmarish comment about her that could dominate the news cycle for a week.

The US military I hear is actually fairly effective at being an anti-poverty measure because of the job training aspects that open up doors and avenues for prosperity once you get out.

But you know, if we had like a one world government we wouldn't need to have a military except as Just In Case for Aliens, disaster relief, and whatever rebels and insurrectionists resisting the world government happen to be running around. A huge sum of money is spent on maintaining nuclear stockpiles for example, that isn't needed.

Keeping some military craft in working order just to keep certain skill sets from dying out I don't object to of course but once the entire world is your oyster you just have so much excess that could be more efficiently redirected and used to solve real world problems.

How serious is development on arcologies for instance? Do we have plans for adding another 3 billion people? Where will there live? Do we start colonizing the ocean with those underwater skyscrappers? I feel like the funds are there once you stop worrying about some countries lobbing nukes at you.

We also might still need antipiracy, which is a fairly substantial job for the USN these days. :v:

How does calling someone a jerk for being literally part of an elite (famously rich family, royal title) and calling a guy from a single parent family raised by his grandparents an elitist involve antisemitism?

Edit: And it's not that she liked Clinton more than Obama, it's that she supported the other party nominee out of what appeared to be spite after Clinton lost the primary.

Moving from Clinton support to McCain support because Obama was ~~uppity~~ "elitist" is god-tier racism and saying "you are the elite, not me!" despite holding loving aristocratic titles and access to unfathomable family wealth is cartoonish villainy.

Great cover. Fantastic tweet.

Starting to hope Clinton labels them a hostile foreign organization and hunts them for sport at this point. Though all the "down with AMERIKKKA" people will just defend WL even more if that happens or if the US starts going after them in earnest.

Obama might surpass Eisenhower in outgoing approval. loving Eisenhower.

For some reason I thought Reagan had higher numbers and that Clinton was over 60% but maybe it was just that he peaked in the 60s and then went back down a bit I guess. And Gore was still incapable of capitalizing on it. He has to have been the worst campaigner in the last several decades. That he couldn't ride the Clinton wave and crush Bush was insane.

HookedOnChthonics posted:

That's the amazing thing--Obama will be for sure remembered, rightfully, as a top-ten president, and there's nothing conservatives can do about it.

While a big part of that is going to be how scandal-free he's been, especially compared to GWB or even Clinton and Reagan, I do still wonder how Clinton is going to be ranked decades from now. Yeah he's a sexual predator and cheated on his wife. But so was JFK and nobody in recent history, or probably the near-mid future, can compare with how ridiculously well the country did during his 8 years. Both the job creation numbers and the budget surplus that Bush immediately pissed away.

There are also cases like the Obama intervention in the Ebola crisis, which wasn't EXACTLY military intervention even in the sense of guarding food convoys but was him going "well, I got poo poo-all for urgent international civilian response resources here, but I DO have hospital ships for training and a bunch of grunts who can build prefab buildings if they are of national security relevance..."

Which was a massive and unequivocal success, and if all you got is a military hammer may as well call an epidemic a national security nail.
