Can someone quickly remind us all of Harris’s demographics qualifications?

Willie Brown is a huge fan, and he's a great judge of character.

his semen has been in her mouth

Man, some nauseating personality traits really start seeping out whenever you guys discuss a woman being in charge of stuff.

Hate to agree with B, but slut-shaming is not a good look. And I've got some news for you all... you were not your wife/gf/partner's first.

And in terms of qualifications, being a senator and then vice-president is not the lightest resume in recent history.

Ah, gotcha - sorry, I tend to just gloss over 9UP posts these days if I even notice them at all.

it was a factually accurate statement

some readers may not have been aware

the word slut was not used however

that projection says more about the unconscious biases of the reader than it does about me

[96583UP]

it really does sound like she rose to power in CA by whoring up on his weiner though

just saying

this is presidential historian type-considerations

i don’t know if that’s a chapter that should be in the kids’ book reports

maybe all of you do I dunno you’re all pretty open-minded and stuff

Has a sitting president ever walked away within 4 months of (re)election day?

Nixon is the only president ever to resign.

There have been a handful of presidents (LBJ the most recent) who were eligible for another term but did not run for reelection. I’m not sure how far out from Election Day those decisions were made.

For the record, Johnson announced he would not be running in the middle of primary season, on March 31st, 1968.

I've been reading the Nuclear War book and one thing stood out to me last night: In the event of a nuclear attack on the US, in the ~26 minutes between when the launch is detected and when it hits its US target, the chain of command for retaliation action goes from the head of STRATCOM directly to POTUS -- no intermediary, no one else gets to decide, really no one else in the driver's seat, at least according to what I've read so far.

I have to think that having a POTUS of diminished mental faculties has some serious implications here, right?

The Ruskies apparently have some orbiting anti-satellite weapons. Do we even have backup ground based radars anymore? If they take out our space based IR early detection system, what do?

Yes, there's actually a five-story detection radar in Alaska that scans the horizon. It's strategically positioned as a "second confirmation" unit, e.g. after the satellites see it, then this ground monolith gets a visual confirmation...but it's quite a bit later, like several minutes after launch (the book is all built on the hypothesis that the nuke is coming from NK).

man, you gotta read something lighter before bed!
