Carter was a precursor to the New Dems who was almost primaried from the left by Ted loving Kennedy. He put Paul Volcker in charge of the Fed and ramped up US intervention in El Salvador which Reagan took the reins of. He was also responsible for bringing the evangelical-moral-majority types out of their political seclusion before Reagan grabbed them for the right.

Don't let his adequate post-presidency blind you to the fact he was a center-right lovely neoliberal Dem at best. Obama 1.0.

ramped up intervention is a funny way of stating fostering war crimes though you’re right. not excusing his presidency but he was at least honest with america if even just once lol. low bar to hurdle

funny thing is dinesh would have a point if he attacked the hypothesis of nuclear winter specifically. but the fact he just ignores that we’ve never had an all out nuclear war which means the hypothesis couldn’t be tested just shows how dumb he is about it.

honestly the way that tweet is written makes it sound like he thinks we did have a nuclear war

I've seen some interesting critique of the nuclear winter model but like, we still don't have empirical confirmation one way or another. It's not a like "hey remember when this happened" option.

the early research that concluded that nuclear winter might be a thing was bad science based on extrapolations from volcanic eruptions, which the soviets then latched onto and disseminated as a propaganda campaign

that's not to say it's necessarily untrue, but it's certainly an interesting tactic

I'd pay $60 to watch trump take a standardized test on ppv, not gonna lie. I wouldnt even need to see the results; just the questions and what he answers along with like a dozen camera angles i can choose from like UFC's online ppv service. It would be the funniest thing ever

The soviets largely invented the idea of nuclear winter because they wanted to discourage the americans from starting a 'winnable' nuclear war - i.e., even if you get all the nukes with a first strike, you still lose.

how many years ago does it feel like when steve scalise had his dick and balls shot off? did that happen before or after the mass shooting in las vegas? were either of those the same year someone in an “lol” shirt participated in an assassination staged as a reality show prank?
