The Political Thread

[Grimoire Lenin]

Also, Carter got the short end of the stick because he was stuck having to deal with a bunch of bullshit and was at the tail-end of one of the most divisive points in American history. We're talking an entire generation that had become gravely suspicious and paranoid of the government after the debacle of Vietnam and the Watergate Scandal, not to mention Nixon and Ford winding up the War on Drugs (which by Nixon's own Domestic Affairs Advisor John Ehrlichman's admission, was targeted towards minorities and anti-Nixon groups).

He was in a lose-lose situation and the oil crisis and the Iranian Hostage Crisis were just untenable for him. The guy could not fix all of these issues inherent in society at once.

FDR faced worse and not only fixed it, but excelled at it. That excuse doesn't work for me.

Just taking a glancing look, you missed the easiest want to annoy me by talking shit on my boy Abe. You have him in the S tier and that’s the main thing I care about. Greatest US President ever and founder of the GOP.

I’ll take a closer look when I got a second.

And he never took another look

lmao USA now less free than India (and yes, this is still a shit reason to give, but its better than a blanket ban)

Bill Maher and Mike Tyson on Gun Violence. It's a good listen.

So a controversial opinion I think I have is that I'm Pro-Nuclear Power and Anti-Hydroelectric Power.

we have a thread dedicated to controversial opinions without judgement

I’m all for nuclear energy as long as it’s regulated well.

Nuclear Power is absolutely well-regulated, and it doesn't even need to be privatized, the government can totally afford to run several Nuclear plants throughout the United States and it'd be way more effective than other sources of power.

I've said in the past, I think a lot of people's views on Nuclear Power is tainted by Chernobyl and to an extend something like The Simspons, which paints a Nuclear Power Plant as inherently "unsafe".
