I don't think 9/11 would have been successful under him. The Clinton administration was well aware of the danger but the bush administration refused to talk to the outgoing administration. Heck the patriot act was only necessary because the bush administration was not doing its job and bringing together the information it received from various agencies. The patriot act was basically a work around against incompetent presidential administrations.

I often wonder where we would be at if the hanging chads went the other way.
Yeah I don't know who these over 30 happy people are. The pres just said he plans to rendition citizens to a foreign prison anytime he reasons they did something to warrant it. My brother with kids is super worried. I don't have kids but still not likin it.
thank you sir. that seems to have done it and looks like its the capitals in my username that caused the issue. was able to login with my username.
sigh. was going to skip but you started you reply with only possible argument. And I get it I had knee jerk was to just not vote with them. The thing is trumps main focus right now is tearing apart the government but he does hit road blocks in that you can't just fire people without reason unless they have not been there long. So its being fought and he is limited. In a government shutdown scenario the executive (trump) has to furlough people and can decide who is necessary and who is not. Courts can't put a stop to it because its a furlough due to a shutdown. Then any bad effects can now be blamed on the democrats plus when the shutdown is over he can point to we ran well enough without the furloughed folks which is why they should be let go. The shutdown is not really a good option. I get the feeling but the smart move was to prevent the shutdown.
I already went through that it plays into his hands. now he can furlough whoever he likes and the court can't say boo. right now the firings are being challenged and that is a good thing. - Look im adding this here as I meant to put it before. My knee jerk reaction was the same. Resist no matter what but I have outlayed why its worse to allow the shutdown is all. Be mad thats fine. But I just thought it over and realized the shutdown could be and likely would be worse and just allow trump to do what he is doing easier. He effectively is shutting down the government on a permanent basis.
government is not stopped. we have had government shutdowns and things keep going. non essential government as chosen by the executive arm of the government are shutdown. I have been through two or three shutdowns. everything is not shut down. I mean I have listed why its actually worse if its shut down in this particular scenario. there is not more to tell. it really does play into their favor and the only reason they would not want to overtly do it is optics.
sorta but someone who works for a living who can no longer work do to age is not going to get richer by living longer.
oh man. I knew so many little kids that would have a spontaneous im an X day. This is so wierd. So its. First they came for the trans, then they came for minorities, then they came for the women, and then the furries
thats not how it works. with the super rich the shorter your parents life the sooner you become rich.
My biggest thing from the start of tng is just that data is to good. stronger and more damage resistant than worf, smarter than anyone except maybe debatably weasely, all his limitations seem to fall away, virtually immortal. Also the same thing with holograms which became just to overall powerful when they had portable emmitters that they could carry themselves.
yup. im single income with a wife that has a lot of medical issues. We barely stay afloat but if I was single I would be rich. If we had universal healthcare we would be doing great to.
