I feel like Gore would have had a chance to stop 9/11 in its tracks and it might not have happened at all - the Bush administration completely botched things when there was evidence that bin Laden was planning something.

Gore would’ve been a 1 term president and we would be talking about the 7/7 Wall Street Attacks and Grand Central Station bombing of ‘05 under President McCain.

skeleton warrior posted:After seeing first-hand how their inability to work together allowed 3000+ Americans to be killed, it still took them 2 years to actually do the re-org into the DHS, and they still hadn’t worked out the internal and external communication kinks before Manning and Snowden re-convinced every agency that sharing information with other Americans was anathema. All the nonsense about the IC not having it's act together was mainly to cover for the incompetence of the Bush administration which is the organization that should have put 2 and 2 together.

MasterSlowPoke posted:If they're being deported then they're not citizens, right? Who can't vote? Yeah I'm sorry I didn't think that all the way through before I posted and it got pointed out a couple pages back too. I apologize I've been sick as hell for a week now and I think also my body just decided it's lactose intolerant so that's been fun too. Otoh I wouldn't put it past this administration to attempt to strip citizenship from vulnerable groups (am I imagining this or is this something they've already made moves to do, because it sounds awfully familiar)?

My favorite Harry Reid story:quote:In the late 1970s when Reid was head of the Nevada Gaming Commission, he was supposed to help the FBI arrest an entertainment manager who had tried to bribe him. Instead of following the agreed-upon plan, Reid tried to choke the man, yelling, "You son of a bitch, you tried to bribe me!" before the FBI could restrain him.

I'm not one to be overly optimistic but I do think that the Vietnamese refugee thing is hopefully the kind of dumb Trump administration poo poo that will be immediately smacked down by even a Bush/Trump judicial appointee as a "what in the absolute gently caress how do you even think this is legal?" sort of thing.

The guy I studied under for massage therapy was put in a row boat by his parents with his 6 siblings and cast out to sea in the hope that the navy would pick them up and take them away from Vietnam. A clipper ship found them and took them aboard an aircraft carrier. His parents were murdered. These people were desperate, terrified, and would have been massacred. There are no words for how evil this administration is.. He and all his siblings were under the age of 10.

FlamingLiberal posted:IIRC, a lot of those Vietnamese refugees from that era voted Republican pretty reliably which makes this more ridiculous Can confirm. I know the “hard working immigrant” trope is a stereotype, but the busiest pharmacist I ever worked with was a guy who was sent over from Vietnam by his parents at 12. By himself. Across the Pacific. By himself. Dude was pretty libertarian if I recall, but yeah. What was the point of Vietnam if you get rid of the people we went there to “protect”? I mean... it’s been forty years. Those Vietnamese people have American kids now. Just loving stupid.

i very much want to know what is going through the judge's head here that was the section of the sentencing memo that had me thinking that this was some loving bullshit his lawyers were pulling, and if I were them i would probably not be super happy about the judge saying "okay, file the primary documents you selectively quote from" Mueller recommended no jail time AT ALL and Flynn turned around and accused them of setting him up (we still probably won't be allowed to see the 302s, though)

There are no words for how evil this administration is.. Friend of mine back in college is 2nd generation Vietnamese. When I knew her (7 years ago or so) she was really conservative and just spouted anti-Obama talking points nonstop. Her view on immigration was her family did it legally (parents arrived as refugee children) so everyone else should too. Haven't really kept in touch in a while. Wonder how she's feeling today.

I don't even get this Vietnam thing. Why do this at all? God drat Miller is one of the worst scum this planet has ever produced. This is just cruelty for the sheer sake of it. Who's next Stephen? What other girl in high school's ethnic background that wouldn't date your 17 year old, pasty, gangly, balding, acne riddled rear end are you going to mass deport next, you miserable wormy piece of dogshit. I am somehow reaching a new level of anger and disgust at Miller, and I didn't think that was possible

So my wife is Vietnamese and her family were refugees. We made drat sure to get her mother citizenship the day after Trump was elected and luckily she became a citizen in April! I can say that yes the Vietnamese community in general is conservative but they have swung hard Democrat since Trump and his brand of white-supremacy was elected. This is anecdotal but the community is scared and feels betrayed, politically.

After my grandpa died fighting for the south, my Grandma put my mom and her little brother on one of those boats when my mom was 9 and had to take care of her 4 year old brother and they eventually made their way onto the USS Midway. Siblings and I are sending her to San Diego this February because she's always wanted to revisit the ship that saved her life and brought her here.

Niwrad posted:Reid actually did some good stuff. He pushed through so many judges. A lot of people have this conception of politicians (and in particular of congress) as on some level being primarily an intellectual and moral discussion about the merits of various positions. That's a charming idea but has nothing to do with what politics actually is in practice. Politics is 100% about efficiently finding carrots or sticks as the case demands and wielding them skillfully. The most intellectual debate ever going on wrt that is over what causes merit what expenditure of finite political capital. It's an entirely craven system where 'what can you do for me?' is the central question ('what can you do to hurt me?' is the close second). I know that sounds cynical, but it's basically how congress was intended to work, especially in the context of the popular concept of sending MoC to DC so that they can bring home the bacon. Really shrewd politicians are just famously good at cultivating a working knowledge of their opponents indiscretions and understanding deeply the interests of their friends.
