Today President Xi Jinping said that, as a result of increased fascistoid terrorism threatening China's national interest, military action could not be ruled out.
.Obviously, he's speaking to big-D Democrats. The overall point, though, is similar to something I said here: That Trump is so bad he makes Cruz look like a stable person. I think they're both so abhorrent that the idea of a brokered convention drafting Paul Ryan is something to shoot for. And I hate Paul Ryan and Paul Ryan hates me.
Instead of saying "this person's a mess, that person's terrible too" I'm sort of ranking everyone on a couple of simple metrics:
Which candidate is likely to:
Get us all killed?
Donald Trump
Ted Cruz
(space held open because those two are way ahead on this one)
Hillary
Bernie/Jill Stein/Gary Johnson
Get me killed specifically?
Ted Cruz
Everyone else
Drive our economy off a cliff?
This takes cooperation of congress, so Ted Cruz and the current makeup of congress are far and away the most dangerous.
Trump
Hillary gets a little bump because even if she has a good idea, it'll be roadblocked by congress
All the rest would be figureheads without much sway except
Gary Johnson's ability to reduce war expenses on his own could free up a huge amount of money. If he does it. I hired Obama to do this and it didn't go so well.
I don't think any of this was unique to my way of thinking, but I just wanted to point out that no one should be surprised by our current state of horribleness.
Hey Kurtster, you ready to get on the right side of history? You satisfied with your guy's weak ass (and not even first) "let's all come together against hate" tweet?
JFC. What a bunch of assholes. These are the people who will bring down our country (while bitching and moaning about Obama). Fucktards, the lot of them.

Far as I'm concerned, we can pin this post to the top and close this thread.
Maybe we could just start a new thread - Days without nuclear war. Or a website like isabevigodadead.com that worked out pretty well for a long time. The ending was harsh, but in the case of www.isthereanuclearwaron.com, when the status changes we'll have other concerns. Edit: just saw the regional nuclear war thread...
Nah. We started one in the 60's during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It lasted until Khrushchev wasn't let into Disneyland and he didn't nuke us.
