Well, he was the least terrible Republican President since Eisenhower, so at least he had that going for him. gently caress him forever for Thomas though.

Handsome Ralph posted:Wasn't aware of the fossil fuel money part though, that sucks. From my understanding of the issue, it's not one. Beto is listed as being one of the top recipients in Congress of oil and gas money, but keep in mind that includes donations from people who work in those industries, not just the companies themselves. Considering oil and gas is one of the top employers in Texas, it's not a huge surprise that he'd get a lot of money from that sector, and it hasn't stopped him from talking about climate change.

The thing is that they wouldn't even say that-the founders were under no illusions that the Constitution was perfect, which is why they included the amendment process. If poo poo didn't work, they thought we should have the ability to change it-the real mistake was in making the Constitution too hard to amend.

Trump administration aims to toughen work requirements for food stamps recipientsquote:The country’s food assistance program, which is run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, already requires most adults without dependents to work if they collect food stamps for more than three months in a three-year period. But USDA regulations allow states to waive the requirement in areas with unemployment rates that were at least 20 percent greater than the national rate. Yes, they'll be so dignified while they're starving, you absolute motherfucking son of a bitch

Carter's problem was that while he was compassionate in ways that few other Presidents have been... he was also, well, an rear end in a top hat. He was combative, argumentative, and a micro-manager, and while this served him well enough as a naval nuclear officer* and later as Governor of Georgia, in Washington he pretty much instantly blew up any chance of having a good working relationship with Congress by vetoing legislation that his own party had passed that was laden with public-works spending he disagreed with. And while in many cases he may have been technically right, his approach won him very few friends on the Hill, paralyzed his own policy initiatives (Including Universal Healthcare, over which he feuded with Ted Kennedy), and generally made the administration appear weak and ineffectual at a time where the economy was paralyzed by stagflation and the oil crisis. Carter in short was a man with many good beliefs, but was difficult to deal with personally and was ultimately an ineffective president at the worst possible time—because, as we all know, the man who was able to come along and take advantage of the Carter Administration's failures and perceived ineffectiveness was Ronald loving Reagan. *E: Looking back over Carter's wiki page, he apparently said that after his parents Admiral Rickover was his greatest influence, which... honestly explains a lot.

I feel that Mattis could be a good VP choice in that VP is an utterly worthless position so his actual influence within the administration would be limited, but it could get certain ~resist~ types and 'moderate' Democrats fired up regardless of how left the top of the ticket is.
