On the one hand they might all just assume the Deep State must be unbeatable and slink away. On the other, they'll just be mad and ready to do something even dumber than voting for him.

My father was a Republican and my mother was a Democrat back in the 80s, so as a child I always thought that one side was good and one side was evil, I just wasn't sure which was which. Then in college I ~reached enlightenment~ and decided that both sides had their points and the truth must surely, surely lie somewhere in the middle. Now as an adult I know that evil exists, and half the idiots in this country want them in power. Funny how I had it right the first time. (My dad voted to re-elect W and has spent the rest of his life regretting it, registered as and voting straight-ticket Democrat since 2006.)

Groovelord Neato posted:https://theintercept.com/2018/12/01/the-ignored-legacy-of-george-h-w-bush-war-crimes-racism-and-obstruction-of-justice/ It’s hard to take anything in this article seriously when it is badly misrepresenting Glaspie’s communication with Saddam. “Effect greenlight” leaves a lot of room for uncharitable interpretations. This is frustrating because we have great documentation on the subject of her conversations, intentions, and instructions from her superiors, which all make it clear that though the US would not take a position on the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border issue, it definitely wasn’t tacitly supportive of military intervention. This is clear both in transcripts released at the time and in secret diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks anyone can easily read for themselves. At worst we can say her statements were misinterpreted by Saddam but even that stains credulity.

Had 24 year old me been here. Oh god what the gently caress was I at 24. I think I might have been a libertarian. I observed a local art exhibit that mocked the victims of terrorism and I was like "They should ban that" and libertarians smelled blood and gave me the whole "free speech for all/small government" treatment and I saw the light A libertarian who thought Andrew Ryan in Bioshock was the good guy. And that the social safety net could be replaced with private donations That affirmative action was racist against white people because it gave minorities an unfair advantage. That Dennis Miller and Bill Maher was the peak of comedy. I bought Maddox book and reiterated the passage about the wage gap not existing.

Then in college I ~reached enlightenment~ and decided that both sides had their points and the truth must surely, surely lie somewhere in the middle. The thing that is frustrating is that often times the policy ideals they espouse aren't always bad or terrible. But then you look at how they want to implement those, or what they actually mean by them, or how they're just a straight lie, and it breaks your brain a bit. Like I'm not opposed to the idea of smaller government, but that doesn't translate to deregulation. We have regulation because when we don't you have poo poo like contaminated food and rivers being able to be lit on fire. I'm not opposed to trying to reduce government spending, but republicans seem to only want to decrease spending on a bunch of poo poo that actively makes the country better and increase military spending.

I love how we are at the point where its just openly acknowledged by everyone that the President is a tremendous baby that is so painfully insecure that you have to promise him these things just to see that the natural order and procession of something like a presidential funeral is observed and yet its still totally fine for him to be president. Examplary leadership babysitting at the top levels of the American government. This is tomororw right?

Since I wasn't going to watch anybody talking about how great that shithead was I didn't pay attention. I'm guessing someone said something incorrectly praising McCain's integrity or bipartisanship and Trump decided that it was a personal attack.

I feel like there are pros and cons to both. like trump getting removed would send a message to the world that we will remove psychos like him if they fall to high(like turkey used to do) but it could make trump a martyr to the chuds but it might kick American overt fascists back in the closet for another generation, same with he gets elected out.

I'm guessing someone said something incorrectly praising McCain's integrity or bipartisanship and Trump decided that it was a personal attack. Pretty much. McCain had become an enemy in Trump's eyes before he died and Trump had spent a lot of time making sure everyone knew it, so it was impossible to attend and/or eulogize him without appearing, also in Trump's eyes and in the eyes of the Trump-acknowledging media, to implicitly side with McCain. In modern America everything is either pro-Trump or anti-Trump, including the funerals of war heroes who have worked in government for multiple decades.

Ate My Balls Redux posted:I thought you could only invoke the fifth when actually being questioned, not just say "nah" to an imperative to appear The Fifth is, afaik, always interpreted as to not require criminal defendants to take the stand in an actual court to invoke it. Congressional committees, however, are different, and have historically forced people to show up to invoke it - because they'll be asking about lots of things you CAN answer, and you can't broadly assert it to refuse to answer questions that won't incriminate you. This committee of course won't subpoena stone because republicans control it. But if the House wants him back, they can certainly force him to appear. eke out fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Dec 4, 2018 |
