It puts Trump in the same category as Clinton (Bill), who also didn't break 50%.

Yeah; however the left conveniently forgets that Bill Clinton's presidency was quite centrist. Clinton worked with Republicans across the aisle to cut government spending/cut welfare, pushed broken windows-style anti-crime legislation, etc.

Modern Republicans (and certainly modern Democrats) are probably less likely to work with the opposing party to get sh!t done.

Silly as it may sound, and I know the mods want to keep it sort of on topic, I love the sidetracks like these. Sort of became part of the thread honestly, and it does sort of fit in with US politics in a real way. I won't be shocked o
if some trayvon stuff doesn't get brought up in her confirmation hearings.

As long as we don’t get another “Russia will hijack a train to invade Western Europe” I’m good. That was an especially stupid derailment.

If everyone really wants to doom-out over this shit, the original Fallout manual actually had a neat little breakdown of immediate and delayed effects.

tl;dr it's fires and short lived fallout.

BUT NOTHING EVER HAPPENS, and so help me god I am going to compile a list of faggots to remind nothing happens when this is over.

If you're not in the immediate area of a strike (sorry city niggers) what will kill you is the famine caused by the breakdown of the economy and supply lines. I think the estimates back in the 80's were something like a 10% population loss from the initial action (both the explosion and fallout related illness) but like 40-60% total because everything goes to hell in a handbasket when your population centers suddenly die.

What’s the general consensus on Pam Bondi as a pick? I know nothing about her, really, aside from the whole PAC donation scandal Trump paid fines on back in 2016.

I know people liked Gaetz and I don’t really have any issues with him, he made a good “fuck you” troll choice to irritate the Rinos. But I also feel he’s a bit too attention whorey for his own good.

Likely more effective but less bloodthirsty.

I don't want to speak to anyone else, but personally, I'm in the "let's give her a chance because loyalty" Most of what i've seen has been good though, and for some reason a lot of the former desantis shills hate her for some reason. I've seen some joo sperging about her because of her israel support, which that is what it is, doesn't matter to me but does to some.

This is for a balls all the way out strategic exchange. If Putin wanted to just end the world he could have done that already. He wants to win, and he's willing to at least threaten endlessly to get there, as he has for nearly 3 years.

IF he used nukes, It is much more likely he'll tactically nuke Ukraine and accept the trade of a missile base or an air base for his prize (and of course being pariah for however long it takes people to forget).

Something tells me Putin doesn't actually want to commit suicide and then leave the rest of the world to China. Something tells me if he did do that Xi would probably be sending his special forces in a hurry to capture him before NATO did so he could personally shove a pineapple up his ass. Something tells me there's likely special forces already crawling all over Russia and enough glowniggertry to read at night trying to bribe everyone but I digress.

I'm much more worried about Russia balkanizing and that North Asia going to complete and utter fuck. The other thing nobody seems to think about is Putin's successor. I really hope China can influence a moderating factor on that but fiik, American FP has been a goddamned disaster for the last 4 years.

AFAIK The Uniparty™© wants a balkanized Russia, which is pretty evil as much as utterly retarded to desire but whatever.

Not really. Clinton vetoed the balanced budget plan in 1995 and shut down the government for three weeks, leaning on the media to frame it as all the GOP's fault for being extreme and unreasonable. This proved to be a viable tactic.
