Date: June 27th, 2024 6:40 AM Author: sharia lawyer Very little discussion about his term from historians, xo or otherwise, despite his critical role in shaping the post-war order and the framework for the first but hopefully not the last "American Century". Typically gets overshadowed by talk about the wars themselves or his time as a military official (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5546009&forum_id=2Reputation#47781756) |

but generally speaking, he and other lib repubs were installed to cockblock any real hard right wing from emerging in the US after the war. see also: William F. Cuckley's cleansing of the American right in the 50s. |

and Trump is most likely the last hurrah for the American imperial project |

Date: June 27th, 2024 7:38 AM Author: sharia lawyer Idk I doubt it; even when libs complain about explicit American imperialism they rarely mention our soft power imperialism, which I'm more or less for because it's fairly humane in the scheme of things and economically beneficial for our partners involved in the project. Culturally, not beneficial at all but that's not really the America that we knew and loved's fault Trump was actually very responsible on foreign policy anyway, no clue why libs give/gave him so much shit for this. That Sunni/Israel peace deal that Likud tanked was basically a result of Trump's diplomacy and it would've been a world historical achievement had it went through or had Biden put a harder palm down on both Israel and Palestine and managed to keep the Saudi axis engaged |

Date: June 27th, 2024 7:44 AM Author: ,.,,.,.,,,,,,..................... From his bio:
Eisenhower met his cabinet regularly on Friday mornings. Ezra Taft Benson suggested the sessions be opened with a prayer. “The suggestion is made only because of my love for you, members of the Cabinet, and the people of this great Christian nation,” said Benson. “I know that without God’s help we cannot succeed. With His help we cannot fail.”36 Eisenhower asked Dulles to poll the cabinet, and it was agreed to have a prayer, but the prayer should be a silent one.37 One Friday morning Eisenhower overlooked the prayer and launched straight into a discussion of the first item on the agenda. Cabinet secretary Max Rabb slipped him a note to remind him of the omission. “Oh, goddamnit,” Eisenhower exclaimed, “we forgot the silent prayer.” |

Date: June 27th, 2024 9:25 PM Author: sharia lawyer There wasn't really an alternative tbh. I had a huge screed about this in a TT thread somewhere Trains are fine and well for Europe but their transit/population circulation needs are very different from the landmass behemoth that is the US. We'd need to experimentally redesign much to solve the exurb problem, and current lib suggestions (magically generate "walkable cities") aren't anything workable |
