Instead, he let his loving idiot sexpest id out and here we are. rudy was a huge piece of poo poo even back before 9/11. people talk about 'oh rudy changed' or his apparent head injury in later years after which he changed, but it's all masking the fact that rudy has always been a human dumpster fire. his political circumstances were better very briefly, but his personal life was always inevitably going to drag him down because rudy is just a bad guy with no values, not even self preservation. dude just thinks with his dick with zero regard for anything else and it's been that way since the judith nathan stuff 20+ years ago

Comrade Blyatlov posted:I'm not asking facetiously either. Counterfactuals are really difficult things to definitively state one way or another, plus fog of war, etc I've seen what seemed like fairly compelling arguments in both directions, eg that Japan was already aware that it was defeated and so they were unnecessary and conversely that they were aware they were defeated but also still intended to go down fighting as much as humanly possible which seemed not-unfounded based off of pre-bomb engagements with the IJN. I too would be very curious to see anything particularly good on that point

i see a lot of discrete weather events get chocked up to ~the impact of climate change~ and it always drives me kind of crazy, like, no climate change is not an out of the ordinary rain storm. what is loving wild though is looking at year-to-year surface level temperature anomaly maps of the gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. as long as it keeps getting that warm, florida and the entire gulf coast is going to keep getting hammered by just wildly strong storms, and particularly ones that intensify extremely rapidly. there's just so much energy available for the storms to tap into these days, it's scary how fast they're intensifying now that regional ocean temperatures are consistently higher

probably depends a bit about where you draw the line between republicans in general and the whole white grievance bigotry poo poo, but die-hard trump supporters iirc represent ~30-40% of the gop. trump's death grip over the party is because he causes a ton of people to turn out who otherwise do not show up for elections and otherwise the often slender margins the gop is working with just don't really math out with those people staying home. even for those that hate trump, they're basically in a deal with the devil for short-medium term continued political relevance. post 1/6 you could see that there was some genuine appetite to get rid of trump, but also the understanding rapidly spread that the gop without trump supporters isn't really a nationally viable party (at least not before some significant realignment that would effectively trade the most insane trump wing for more appeal to the center/independents, except that the gop in 2023 is even farther from than they were in 2020) and so willingness to do anything about trump evaporated as they hoped that maybe someone would pull a magic solution out of the hat before the situation blows up on them. At the moment it does not appear that they've found a solution beyond hoping that one of the prosecutions will succeed. it's a hell of a clusterfuck to be clear btw, I'm not suggesting that is some 'the end of the republican party' thing, because so long as there are 100,000,000 conservatives or w/e in this country there will be a party representing them that will continue to be relevant
