No more INF, try to depose a South American leader amd replace with an American-educated rightwing guy, and the Big Six program which is highly reminiscent of the post-Vietnam Big Five program. Cold War reboot looking good.

No, Big Five as in big five acquisition/modernization programs post-Vietnam. Abrams, Apache, Blackhawk, Patriot, Bradley.

Can't they just kick back, take five, and go check if someone's still answering the phone in Berlin before launching everything? This is why Europe haaaated the idea of localized tac nukes and intermediate range missiles. Fear US would sit it out if the then-USSR didn’t touch US land with ordnance.

colachute posted:at some point i think we are going to have to come to accept that racism and sexual harassment was just accepted 20+ years ago. much like how "human being" was pretty widely used in the early 2000s. Kind of, but there's a big difference between someone who kind of casually laughed at a racist joke at school and someone who deliberately put effort into being as racist as possible and openly had it documented back when not everyone carried a phone/camera/video-recorder/computer in their pocket. quote:i don't know how we move on from that other than stop electing old people, but some old white men doing some racist and/or sexist poo poo in the 1980s is one of the least surprising thing i can think of in 2019. Nailed it. Racist grandpa might love you and might have stopped saying the N-word casually. And that's fine, you don't need to kick him out of Thanksgiving dinner. But please don't vote him into office.

I need to formally do my taxes, but estimates are that I’ll save a couple thousand or so. But I’m not a terribly typical household: DINK, house paid off, live in a state with property tax only and no income tax. So basically well set up for the tax cuts to leave me with a lower tax bill. But it’s lower in the “oh, neat” sense whereas longterm impacts could be “oh gently caress, shiiiiit” when it comes to what such cuts do to the country.

Nephzinho posted:So is he taking credit for winning WW2 now, I'm confused and don't have enough liquor for this. This is the Kushner/Ivanka part of the speech, so in addition to talking about anti-semitism, they have to revisit WWII all over again to mention concentration camps and liberating would-be holocaust victims. It makes no sense chronologically, but it makes a lot of sense if this speech was hammered together by various writers based on ghostwriter rather than by topic or timeline.

Super dumb SOTU tradition (beyond just Trump-era): Opposing side stands and claps for all non-controversial things the POTUS says. Yes, puppies are cute, but maybe I don't feel like standing and clapping and smiling when the president says "puppies are cute" after a full paragraph of "let's do some racism."

TX state bar cards aren't used that way. Says so right on the card. Do you have evidence that she got government lawyering contracts based on this? I find it believable that she'd always been told by grandma or whoever that she had Native American ancestry. It's a pretty common thing for people to say/believe with little or no sourcing. Now, going down the DNA test rout and claiming temporary victory based on that was

Or don't take the test, period, which is a better move. You take the test and it says you're lots of American Indian? POTUS won't give a poo poo.

And the recent card "story" was such a non-story. Candidate, publicly, for decades: I have American Indian heritage. Candidate later: Maybe I don't really and my family overstated it to me when I was younger. Oops, sorry. News: OMG decades ago she said she had American Indian heritage!!!

Man, if Warren's heritage becomes analogous to Hillary's Email coverage in the quantity of press when the current president bragged about sexual assault and has been involved in numerous, documented, court-adjudicated charity/education/employment/discrimination cases, I don't know... I'm going to begin to suspect that the US has a real problem with latent bigotry against women or something!

I understand that he said it was horrible and he was in an awful headspace, but sorry, hunting a person due to color of skin is racist. He might’ve gotten better over time, but it was a distinctly, obviously racist act at the time, even if the content of his character is better or healthy now.
