You'll get absolutely NO argument from me on the Cuban missilery clusterf**k. But that was Kennedy's fubar. And I'll give Nixon his due for detente. But the assertion that he saved the world???? C'mon Denny, save it for the clueless. I said he almost destroyed this country and I'll argue that until the cows come home. The man was a snake.
The man was a snake, but I'm sure that "almost destroyed this country" is the exaggeration. Yes, he saved the world. Instead of staring at each other over nuclear gun barrels, we went back and forth with open dialog and signed treaties to limit or reduce the number of weapons.
How about this? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...discuss-voting-rights/?utm_term=.2f5e75113ad0 Trump meets with Martin Luther King III on Monday to discuss voting rights President-elect Donald Trump, who spent the weekend engaged in a war of words with civil rights activist and U.S. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), met Monday with Martin Luther King III to discuss voting rights. The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s eldest son walked into Trump Tower at 12:51 p.m. with a handful of colleagues affiliated with the Drum Major Institute, a progressive public policy think tank where he is president. “Today, President-elect Trump is going to sit down with Martin Luther King III and others in New York and have a conversation about voting, about bringing more people into the system, the legacy of Doctor King and how we can continue to pursue that under the Trump administration,” Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said on NBC’s “Today” show Monday.
October 1962 was closer than we have ever been to the brink of nuclear disaster. We were at, all hands on deck, prepping for what seemed to be the unavoidable.
Hmmm......let's see what happened on his watch.....Kent State, the invasion of Cambodia, Watergate, the illegal activities of his Vice President, demonstrations that make those of today look like child's play, yada, yada, yada. With Trump, only half of America is demoralized. Under Nixon the percentage was way higher. Or maybe you were too wrapped up in counter cultural activities to notice......
You're dodging the argument by making arguments I agree with. But he didn't come close to destroying the country. The country survived. It would have survived if he was impeached and removed and put on trial and thrown in prison. If anything, it weakened the role of the presidency due to lack of trust, but that's a good thing.
He sure helped divide it into two teams that hate each other....and that's ongoing...in a way, Nixon and Hoover really did their best to muck it up for generations
I would tell my daughter that if you're going to be around Trump you should wear a burka. If that doesn't stop his interest in you that just smile and when he takes you into his bedroom pee on his bed and run like hell.
He was asking how the daughter heard about it, I was answering. I wasn't offering an opinion about whether Donald Trump does what he said he does. barfo
Not sure about that. In '68, democrats split from democrats and gave George Wallace a decent number of electoral votes. The liberals that stormed and rioted at the 1968 convention joined the Democrat Party (clinton was one, no?) and sold their souls.
Maybe we could have a subforum for basketball discussion so that it doesn't clutter up this board? barfo
Really, the search function here is horrible. You making a joke? I don't wanna read the thread it is super long and boring.
Liberals insulted Conservatives, and visa-versa. One moron even tried to inject himself, with insults, into an argument that had nothing to do with him....5 hours after the argument was settled. So basically...the usual for S2. You didn't miss much.
Sometimes when I'm at work and can only read when I stop to drink some water and things get hopping I miss a ton.
