Not to defend Cuomo, but I do actually think that "Americans like the dumbest and most shallow displays of masculine dominance imaginable" is actually a defensible reading of the political climate.

Suspect in deadly Montana bar shooting has been captured, officials say Authorities launched a manhunt for Michael Paul Brown after he allegedly opened fire in the Owl Bar on Aug. 1, killing the bartender and three patrons.

So he didn't kill himself, it just took a week to get him. "Incredible response" www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I recall this being an AANW plot point (not using the bomb on Japan) and Truman still won. One of many oddities in that tl that almost everyone overlooks

Wait I thought Grandpa Simpson also thought in WW1 as a child. He could still be a WW2 vet in the present.

AFAIK, there are good ones like in Norway that try to ban breeds prone to severe health issues, but that's not fixing the problem. There's a reason orgs based around Working Dogs are actively opposed to the AKC (like the American Border Collie Association)

On top of the breeding, they also spend massive amounts of money AGAINST laws meant to prevent animal cruelty, with much of that money coming from inhumane "puppy mills." There's a lot of those godforsaken places here in Michigan. Really, it seems every Kennel Club is run by rich assholes.

Breed diversity was fucked over by the AKC, which has ruined the health of more dog breeds than I care to count.

Golden Retrievers are lucky to live past 10 now, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels' brains can be too big for their skulls, and it should be illegal to keep breeding English Bulldogs.

President Truman in Oppenheimer expresses his annoyance that the inventor of the atomic bomb who worked on the Letโ€™s Nuke The Bastards Project is moping about how the nuke he made was used to nuke people.

On one hand, the South Park guys trying to pump the breaks on what they helped unleash is a good thing. We donโ€™t have the luxury of being able to reject any help we can get at this point. OTOH, the less charitable part of me feels like this:

I read that the Air Force had a Christian Nationalist problem and non-Christians basically had no chance of becoming pilots. Are they really the worst branch in terms of extremist issues or is it the Marines like the media seems to say?

New South Park episode was neato. No mercy for Kristi Noem or RW podcast debate bros. Maybe if I show it to my old man, it'll get him to reconsider all those "masterdebaters" he listens to frequently.

People don't want to say it but the reason the FBI might be used to round up Texas Democrats when it wasn't used on Oregon Republicans is that the Oregon Republican party, like all Western state Republican parties, has a de fact alliance with white rural terrorists who might shoot cops.

Third option, and possibly more humiliating, is Willy helping out Nicky in restoring control of the revolution is much worse than OTL in exchange for some kind of concessions, which would likely kill a lot of legitimacy for the Romanovs amongst an increasingly germanophobic Russia.

Would be a real shame for both sides if Tokyo somehow got that far, only for Western Powers to tell them to back off after ecstasy in Japan for somehow reaching the Urals. Meanwhile, Kaiser Bill celebrates an utterly humiliated Russia while also panicking about the Asian hordes.

The entire discourse starts from the false notion that it was a choice between the bombs or invasion. It wasn't.

The bombs were part of the invasion. The troops were steaming toward their assembly areas for Operation Olympic when they were dropped.

Sure, shitting on both parties is easy. You may feel superior saying both parties suck. But you're wrong. Only one party - the Republican Party- is a threat to our founding principles. I don't have time right now to dream about a third party. I've got to help defeat that threat.

Can't find any. The Philippines were too populous, too much of a commitment, and too upsetting to the balance of Congress and the EC (even those who weren't concerned about them being too catholic and non-white balked) to be accepted. Hawaii was hard enough to get, and that was small by comparison.

I think it's great how the entire U.S. economy is currently being held together by like 4 tech companies, and in response we're about to put tariffs on semiconductors.

It's a brilliant plan.
