I don't think Trump is likely to start a nuclear war, but I do think he's certain to crash the economy. He does business by starting a lot of companies, driving most of them into the ground while making a personal profit, then selling off the remains. How that would look like with a nation, I shudder to think.

Trump takes office, and tries to run the economy to the exclusive benefit of old white men. Unfortunately for him, he is so bad at business that he manages to undo hundreds of years of racial and gender inequality.

Gay marriage was not a wholly liberal issue, because rich and powerful people can also be gay and have gay friends and family. There were some gay conservative groups pushing for gay marriage. Of course, in 20 years time, it'll be all the noble conservatives pushing through gay marriage against the vehement protestations of the bigoted liberals (who came up with Don't ask, Don't tell!)

I disagree, the Religious Right is (or was) the dominant force in conservative American politics. And their two main issues were opposition to abortion rights and homosexuality. The opposing view is absolutely a liberal issue, even if small groups of conservatives are okay with it.

Most of the world's economy (hell you could say the vast majority of the world's economy) right now is hooked into the ironclad knowledge and expectation that the US will honor our bond obligations through the life of the bond, to the penny. We sell loving stability to the world financial system through issuing debt and for a while people were netting out to paying us for the privilege after adjusting for inflation. Trump has already floated the idea of breaking the promise we have with the world that we pay our debts in absolute full. If he won, the world would begin questioning whether the USD is a safe currency to denominate reserves in, and we'd have to hike Treasury rates to lure bond buyers back. That rate would then hit practically every aspect of consumer living everywhere in the world. Anything that involved USD changing hands at any point along the manufacture or supply chain would become unstable or drastically unstable depending on how much USD goes into the end to end process. Any adjustable-rate consumer debt would go nuts. Lenders whose books make certain assumptions about that debt being serviced would start freaking out. The global economy would dissolve and it would make the effect of Brexit on the GBP look like a single broker's sneeze on the NYSE trading floor. "Certain to crash the economy" is an understatement on a scale that transcends the most dry of British daytime television in the 70s. The global economy will melt down, flash boil, and then explode into the vacuum of space before loving sublimating into radioactive ice crystals and drifting away into the void.

Yeah none of Trump's supporters give a poo poo about the economy (other than ARE JERBS :freep:), and many of them don't understand it and take Trump's word for whenever he incoherently rambles about economics.

This whole election has turned into a referendum not only on Trump, but on "political correctness" in general. This stupid culture war poo poo they want to wage is all they can comprehend and care about now.

That's because the lesson you were taught was "Jews are the underdogs" rather than the far more accurate "minorities are the underdogs", or the even more accurate "any group culturally distinct from the group in power are the underdogs". For example, European Jews have a lot of shared experiences (including the Holocaust) with the Roma, another widespread European minority that has historically retained its separate cultural identity.


Because I researched it pretty hard, expecting to be able to cite it as proof of Israeli hypocrisy and racism, and ended up writing a fairly thorough debunking for it instead. A lot of the "evidence" commonly cited for it is taken out of context or misunderstood because of a failure to understand the roles of the multiple organizations and entities involved. To be clear, we know absolutely for sure that some Ethiopian Jews got Depo prescriptions without their informed consent, and that Israeli doctors were administering those presciptions without ensuring that the patients understood what they were getting. Those are verified, undisputable facts. However, there's no real support for the assertion that there was a deliberate Israeli policy to that effect. For one thing, the organization issuing those prescriptions and running the transit camps was a real charitable NGO whose health wing was run by an aid worker with a solid reputation and a long history of helping Ethiopians, and was not under the control of the Israeli government. Israel simply did not have the ability to order the NGO to set up a eugenics program on the side, and like I said, the aid organization's leadership has a solid enough reputation that I have a very hard time believing they would willingly cooperate with a forced sterilization program. My best guess is that the initial prescriptions were a pattern of individual misconduct, mistakes, and apathy, coupled with a number of administrative failings that failed to recognize the problem over a prolonged period of time. There are some question marks surrounding the NGO, but like I said, I have a very hard time believing that the man in charge would run a eugenics program. The continuation of the prescriptions once the victims entered Israel was simply the fault of an inadequate support system - limited availability of interpreters meant that it was difficult for Israeli doctors to communicate with their patients, and many simply didn't bother, carrying out whatever was written in their medical records without bothering to ascertain that the patients knew what was being done.

Thank you for that. I like seeing a different point of view, but as always I'm dubious as to whether it was an internal policy or not.

Politico is reporting that one of the newly-discovered emails was sent by Hillary to Chelsea and contained information they considered classified.

However, they clarified that it was at the lowest level (confidential), the subject was negotiations over the climate change treaty, and the only reason it was confidential is because it originated from another country. So, I guess we always classify those as a courtesy so that we don't tell the world about something that a country only wanted us to know.
