Tbh I don't really think the tapes exist, or that he was really aware of any at the time. I think he genuinely thought he could try to intimidate Comey publicly on twitter so he just came up with w/e bullshit he had on mind. But yeah, even if they did exist we certainly aren't going to see them anymore.

All the "we're all gonna diiiiiiiiiie" compared to how we grew up in the Cold War makes you all look like idiots. Kindly gently caress off with your moronic nay-saying. "There will never be another Great War!" said many right before the bombs dropped on their cities. There is always a risk of war, and downplaying that is a terrible idea.

Chilichimp posted:He claimed that he didn't create them or have them. He then went on to claim that, while president, he didn't know if someone ELSE was recording his conversations without his knowledge. While I don't doubt that really happened, I'm going to say they never existed, not because Trump is playing 11-dimensional chess, but he believes he was, but it was such a blatant ruse that Comey (and most people) saw through it. It's the equivalent of "my uncle works at Nintendo" to shut down an argument and prove him right, but then Comey actually has photos of him and his uncle, in Nintendo overalls and name tag, in a factory in Japan with Shigeru Miyamoto and has an unmarked beta version of Super Mario Bros. 3 for playtesting. Also, it's natural now for Trump to do something without realizing that it has legal ramifications. If those tapes existed like he claimed, he would have to turn them over as part of the investigation. If he destroyed them because of incriminating evidence, then he's destroying legal evidence. It would have been better off to never claim the tapes existed or, if they did exist, never acknowledge their existence before leaking them to the press to counter Comey's claims. But Trump being Trump, he couldn't do both of those things.

There Bias Two posted:"There will never be another Great War!" said many right before the bombs dropped on their cities. This is definitely not true, there was a wide understanding that the Great War hadn't fundamentally changed anything, and that a second war was very possible, particularly after Hitler was elected. Part of appreciating risk is recognizing the various degree of threats. Realistically the possibility of a worldwide war is very low, in particular because the US has the only significant naval fleet. The world wars were predated by military buildup on all sides.

FizFashizzle posted:So I heard Jane Sanders inflated the promised donations to secure some loans for her hippy college and her husband made a phone call to help her out, now the Trump DOJ is going to make an example of her just because it rings too close to home for the president and he loves to project. In a parallel world where Sanders is president, we'd never hear the last of this and the Republicans would be starting impeachment proceedings over it. In this universe, no one cares.

Had an argument with someone yesterday about the healthcare plan - they only watch Fox News and use Drudge for information. "Do you agree that the disabled should always have healthcare?" "Yes" "Do you agree that the disabled have a right to protest?" "Yes" "Do you think it's right for disabled protesters to be dragged from their wheelchairs?" "No" ::shows the video of disabled protesters being dragged from their wheelchairs:: "Well that's private property and they should have behaved"

Sure there was a wide understanding, but nay-sayers also existed. I wasn't talking about the likelihood of a world war, he was talking about the possibility of a conflict with China. I only brought up WWI to highlight the ridiculousness of the assertion. Given the drastic military build up in the South Pacific and increasing tensions in the region, particularly with Japan, it's not something that can be completely ruled out especially considering that we are obligated to assist them if they go to war.

Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who speaks regularly with White House officials about foreign policy. “I don’t see how anyone can say America can be safe as long as you have in power a theocratic despotism,” he added. quote:As a member of Congress, Trump’s CIA director, Mike Pompeo, last year publicly called for congressional action to “change Iranian behavior, and, ultimately, the Iranian regime.” Watch Trump start a loving war.

That's nothing really new....his admin has a lot of anti-Iran hardliners but I don't think they have enough influence to start a war. He's also going to need a better justification than 'regime change'. Iraq wasn't THAT long ago and we are still dealing with that mess.

The U.S. political system for all practical purposes ceded authority for war starting to the executive branch about half a century ago, we technically haven't been in a "war" since, just a series of police actions leading to quagmires.

TARDISman posted:Doesn't action against a state require 60 votes in the Senate? 2001 AUMF against terrorists. Iran gave funding to militarnt groups in Iraq, ergo we can invade their country without provocation. I doubt they will actually do it however. That poo poo would spell the end of the Trump administration, and they have to know it. Americans had to be coerced and decieved into Iraq by the threat of WMD's, and no one is buying that poo poo if 9/11 isn't fresh in their minds. If Trump starts a war in Iran he is out on his rear end the next chance the electorate gets.

A war with Iran would be such a profound clusterfuck that a sick little piece of my mind is intrigued at the prospect. The first antiship missile slamming into an oil tanker and the subsequent $10/gal gas would be a hell of a thing to behold. Just to be clear: HOLY gently caress DON'T GO TO WAR WITH IRAN
