STAC Goat posted:Man. Republican candidates are attacking reporters and Fox News is confirming it, Sean Hannity's evil poo poo has become a national story and he's catching poo poo for it, and Covok is temporarily probated. I'm just going to wallow in this for a little while. poo poo is so insane. The world got turned upside down twice, first when Trump got elected and nominated a bunch of blatantly evil fuckers to his cabinet, and then a second time when Fox News turned on a Republican nominee literally the night before an election. I really can't tell what is real anymore. Like, if I suddenly woke up right now and realized the past six months have been a dream, I would start punching myself in the face again to make sure that wasn't a dream.

Hollismason posted:Claiming Trump is mentally ill or has dementia is a way of exonerating him his actions because he is not in full command of his facilities if he did have those diseases. It's also a slight against people who really do suffer from dementia and Alzheimer . It's just not a good thing to do. It's not a baseless claim. The symptoms are there, clear as daylight.

If every race in 2018 mimics that shift, Democrats are gearing up for the biggest representational shift in generations. This is the dumbest "nothing matters" post I've seen. That's a pretty big if. Unless GOP politicians choke-slamming reporters becomes a very frequent occurrence, it's pretty stupid to expect the shift to be realized nationwide.

Honestly, if Zuckerberg was the founder and CEO of a successful company in a high-tech field like green energy, computer hardware, nanotech, or robotics, I would at least pay attention to what he is saying. Facebook though? gently caress Facebook, and gently caress Zuckerberg for it. The whole thing is an incredibly creepy and invasive information gathering apparatus the likes of which any authoritarian/fascist leader would loooove to have control over. And I don't trust Zuckerberg to not have such tendencies.

Crabtree posted:So how would a theoretical deposing of Jared go? Would Trump pressure whichever one of his girls is hitched to him to get a divorce first or what? Jared isn't going anywhere. He might get his security clearances temporarily revoked while he's being investigated, but it's not like that's gonna prevent Trump from having him continue being involved in everything as if nothing has happened. And if the somehow ends up being convicted of a crime, he would immediately be pardoned by Trump.

Fulchrum posted:So you've given up pretending you care at all about policy, but? "Policy" matters only if the person pushing for it has the political experience necessary to enact it. We are seeing the importance of political experience with Trump (as in, lack thereof). Coming from the business world, he has zero clue how government actually operates. He gives people orders as if he's their boss. He doesn't understand how different parts of the government are intricately tied together and work together. As a result, he can't get anything done. Zuckerberg has the same problem. Zero practical experience in governing means he is simply unqualified to be POTUS. Maybe he should run for governor first, or congress, and see how things work. It might make him realize he doesn't like politics at all. Who knows, it might even humble him and make him realize he doesn't have what it takes. Bottom line: the fact that Zuckerberg wants to push for UBI is irrelevant. He's a 32 year old dude, which makes him 7 years younger than Macron, who is the youngest elected president of France. And unlike Macron, he doesn't know politics. He won't get anything done, if elected.

Fulchrum posted:Oh please. Trump doesn't fail to understand how government works because he is a business owner. Trump fails to understand how government works because he is a colossal loving moron of the highest order, a man who is simultaneously senile, an alpha male jock douchebag, has a slow brain that does not learn information well, with a toddlers sensibilities and capacity for attention, and is actively hostile to the very concept of facts and reality. We all know that he doesn't understand basic civics, but that absolute rock bottom stupidity that puts him behind most third graders, kind of redundantly, puts most third graders ahead of him. As in, as long as someone isn't as actively and fiercely opposed to the very concept of knowing things and understanding things as a republican, that poo poo ain't some mystery that eludes the greatest of all scholars. Trump's lack of understanding of basic civics is obviously not the only reason why he is struggling, but it absolutely contributes. But I'm also not talking about just basic civics. There are some fundamental differences between the private sector and the government sector – operational and cultural – that makes experience in one mostly if not almost completely irrelevant in the other. That's why trying to run the government "like a business" is dumb and doesn't work. But it tends to be every ex-business leader politician's instinct to do so because they simply know of no other way. quote:In years past, then the skills learned at the lower levels were essential for a POTUS. Wheeling and dealing across the aisles, winning them over with charm and knowledge of where the bodies are buried, these were finely honed skills. THe problem is that those skills are utterly and completely obsolete in the modern political era. Bipartisanship and working across the aisle is well and truly dead. Hell, they actively hurt you - look at Obama. It is undeniable that his belief in bipartisanship and cooperation were huge flaws that cost him a lot. Right, thank you for making my point for me: Obama was young and relatively inexperienced, which resulted in his stupidly naive belief that he could work with the GOP in a bipartisan way to get things done. It took nearly an entire term for him to learn his lesson. With Zuckerberg, I guarantee you that he would be an even more naive POTUS, and therefore even less effective. You say he can pass UBI? loving lol. Zuckerberg becoming POTUS would be like someone who doesn't know how to code becoming the chief software architect in charge of critical technical decisions in a sprawling and highly complex system. It can't lead to anything other than ruin. Slow News Day fucked around with this message at 14:10 on May 30, 2017 |

Google Butt posted:Arming, training and supporting indigenous forces is a massive part of what we do and it's required if you want them to be able to stop the isis of the future. Leaving before the Iraqi forces were ready was obviously a big mistake, for example. I'd love to hear your alternative though. Back in the late 70s and early 80s, America's pretense for arming and funding Islamist groups in Afghanistan was pretty much the same. The result? Al Qaeda was born. The rest is history. Arming militant groups is like adding fuel to the fire in the hopes that it will burn your enemy's face. But when the wind eventually and inevitably changes direction, you get burned, too.

I stand by my original claim, which is that arming Kurds, or any other group in the Middle East, is incredibly risky. Possibly advantageous in the short term, with potentially devastating consequences in the long term.
