Gripweed posted:If Woodward had released this tape in March it could've had a big effect on the reaction to Coranavirus. Maybe even some Trump supporters would've taken it a little more seriously. Trump would have still chugged along with his plan because he wants a whole shitload of people to die for him, the rest of the GOP might not have been willing to go along with the farce though.

What's the number of votes that were necessary to swing the 2016 election? It's like a few hundred K in Wisconsin or something, right? I am curious if the number of Coronavirus deaths will surpass (has surpassed?) that number. It's not really meaningful if it does, but it is some kind of political curiosity / tragedy.

TulliusCicero posted:Can you impeach a President twice? I think this is a key takeaway here: Trump UNDERSTOOD the implications of the corona back then. He wasn’t just blindly parroting talking points given to him by his babysitters, this clip shows that he himself understood 1: what Corona meant as a threat and 2: that his public respons was to downplay that threat, rather than fighting it. In short: Trump understood the danger of COVID, and yet, AND YET, decided that the best course of action was to publicly claim it’d go away like a miracle. If that’s not a tremendously damaging sound bite for him, I don’t know what is.

DaveWoo posted:Bit of a weird tension in this thread between "these Trump quotes won't change anything lol" and "if only Woodward had released these Trump quotes six months ago, it would've changed everything". it's two different things, which is why you're confused. No the Woodward stuff wouldn't sway the election to begin with, but having a literal tape of him lying about how serious the virus is and admitting it would help, say, local leaders in georgia and texas and such fight against their idiot governors telling them they don't need a mask mandate and all.

don't be ridiculous, it clearly links to the open thread because i definitely double-checked the OP when I started the summer thread rather than just copy-pasting as is current policy, which is not adequately reflected in the OP, is that Bidenchat takes over the thread in very toxic ways and engaging in it may or may not be probateable depending on how toxic the environment currently is, how many on a fairly regular basis we take a lighter hand on it because maybe this time it won't devolve into a disaster, and guess what happens and will happen again Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Sep 9, 2020 |

quote:In the midst of reflecting upon how close the United States had come in 2017 to war with North Korea, Trump revealed, “I have built a nuclear — a weapons system that nobody’s ever had in this country before. We have stuff that you haven’t even seen or heard about. We have stuff that Putin and Xi have never heard about before. There’s nobody — what we have is incredible.” Uh what is our secret new weapons system? Wtf?

The sad fact of it is: these tapes and quotes are so awful precisely because of what has happened between February 2020 and today. Publishing them at the time would have got lost in the noise, while today, with closing on 200,000 dead, they are monstrous. That's not a value judgement, it's just the fact of the matter.

Telsa Cola posted:If your argument is that the US is not going to be engaged in an equalish air war anytime soon and that it should instead focus on gun runs then your argument really should be that the US military needs a new and improved A-10, because any of the F-XX family is going to suck in comparison to a dedicated ground attack design. Sorry, only get so much time to browse through SA these days. The problem with this is the top brass of the Air Force want their super sleek speedy planes. The A-10 has been a thorn for them for decades. It's everything they hate; Ugly, slow, and not something they can delegate to anything but CAS. They've been trying to kill it since shortly after its release. From trying to phase it out to outright shredding the funding allocated for the planes. They can't because the plane is popular and works, it does a job none of the other planes can do. They hoped the F-35 could replace it and they'd get their nice little zippy plane they wanted. Supposedly designers are working on a new "super hog", and the brass are still trying to push the fighters they have as the answer instead. They really REALLY hate the hog The argument was a plane that was supposed to do CAS has dick for ammo and that it didn't matter because guns were obsolete anyways.

Has the Woodward book been released, or is this just part of the pre-release hype? Like - are there more shoes to drop from that book, or has someone gotten a copy and all the good bits are already in the Post?
