And ultimately counterproductive, as it makes it appear that the atrocities are being cynically exploited, as they are.

Follow in his footsteps? Look at Booker's record voting for Trump nominees. He's the one playing hero.

I'm not sure even that solution means you "never have to worry about the opinions of others." Having a state doesn't mean you can't be vulnerable to other states.

Raises the possibility of the Temple being rebuilt followed by a line of prophets pointing out that it was a terrible idea to rebuild the Temple.

When you build on a foundation of "God is One, but also Three, and the Second Person is fully human but also fully divine" it's never not going to be confusing.

Sure, they say the LAPD is leftist, but have they fully embraced dialectical materialism?

This isn't something true warfighters care about, apparently.

Been very little done outside a few comics with Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser either.

"Funny, you don't look X group" is another one you don't hear so much anymore.

Gordon might actually have been OK with this. There were rumors.

He blocked me for this! Hilarious.

The white male Dem President you can most easily get in 2008 is John Edwards, and that would have been interesting, but plenty wacky.
comment in response to
post
I doubt it very much. Things were plenty wacky under Bill Clinton, and the collapse of the Republican establishment that let the wackos take over had to do with W, not Obama.

I understand.

The GOP venerates Lincoln, but nobody thinks that has a meaningful relation to their policies today.

There was also no South Carolina in 1526.

Must be weird to be a South Carolina Democrat in a Presidential year. All-powerful in the spring, completely irrelevant in the fall.

Also lost the only war it ever fought, so overall not a model to emulate even if you are evil.

What we are dealing with is not the legacy of Obama, it is the truly cursed legacy, the legacy of George W. Bush.

So Jonah, do you recognize Iran as an Islamic state?

DK about this. The whole "elite warrior culture" bullshit fits much better with a volunteer than a conscript force.

Not much of this had anything to do with Obama being black. Bottom line: I think we get something very similar if Hillary wins the nomination and gets elected in 2008.

Leaving the door open for a true outsider, Trump, a Republican candidate who claimed to oppose the Iraq war, Bush's greatest failure, and was untainted by connections to the Bush administration.
comment in response to
post
That opened the door for the tea party, but the establishment managed one last nomination, Romney. Who failed.
comment in response to
post
What Bush and McCain managed to do was completely discredit the Republican establishment. Bush failed, and then McCain, who was still a member of the establishment but known to be opposed to Bush, also failed.
comment in response to
post
It wasn't able to channel Obama hate. And for that I think we have to look at the failures of the Bush administration and then of the McCain campaign.
comment in response to
post
The Republican establishment was able to channel Clinton hate and elect George W. Bush, basically an establishment candidate.

The second is that it ignores how much the Tea Party and Trumpism were products of developments in the Republican party.
comment in response to
post
One of which is that it ignores how nuts the right already was in the 90s. Look up "MENA" and the "Clinton Death List." I don't see a huge gap between Clinton hate and Obama hate.

Ah, the Central Committee in ill-fitting suits standing at attention as the tanks roll by in Red Square on May Day!

There is a fundamental problem in that the "power that meticulously plans everything" is identified as a Chaos power. Do Lorgar's writings ever deal with this?
comment in response to

That is the way it happened; I am not convinced that that is the only way it could have happened.
comment in response to

I think something very like Trumpism happens if Hillary gets elected in 2008.

Hormones and surgery cannot make a man a woman; drinking out of a straw does make a man a woman. Weird, but them's the rules.

Nothing specifically British about this. You'd get a similar response in America.

Republicans think they have a third alternative, which is universal detransition.

Essentially he's right that it would be good if Elon devoted his wealth to splitting the Republican party, but wrong in thinking he's capable of this kind of disciplined program.
