1. Is it too far gone?
I've often (in my darker moments) have considered that this country isn't worth trying to save.
It just seems like one big sham/farce, all at taxpayer expense.

2. And the HONEST question is, can we name ONE current American politician who would bring
charges against the W terrorist organization?
If he or she were prez?
Would Bernie?
I have to be honest, nope, none of them would...
I can understand the reasons they wouldnt, but at the end of the day, what happened to this country and others when the SC stole that election, was horrible, from torture to the annihilation of our economy

These DUmmies ain't all bad, this one is smart enough to hate the Clintons. :rofl:

There just isn't anything new with the DUmmies anymore. At one time each one of them was a special kind of crazy. Now days they're just plain stupid and way too predictable.

So why are DUmmies upset? They aren't footing the bill for the government.

It's taking money away from them, or so they think.

Another example of libs loving taxes...because they don't pay them.

The country is going to shit so the Dummies' overlords randomly release a "torture report" so the Dummies can turn their attention back to Bush.

The Unions will run out of thugs some day ... :popcorn:

DUmmies Discuss Democrat Patriotism
So, a purely theoretical discussion, like what if Napoleon had B52s at Waterloo, or what if Superbaby had landed in Weimar Germany, then.

Had to look him up. He's got some interesting ideas on alternate history.

Good ideas, poor execution. 'The Guns Of The South' is probably his most famous book, but I didn't think it was written very well. It read like something at a 7th grade level.

I started one of his books on Atlantis...one of the rare books I could not finish. I thought it was terrible.

Ammunition would have been even harder to find than it is today.

Turtledove has a couple of long-running SF series, both of which reached the "Tediously obvious he's just milking it" stage for me long before he stopped, if he ever did. One starts with the basic outcome premise from Guns of the South (Otherwise unrelated to that stand-alone book), the other starts with an alien colonization fleet arriving to conquer us in the early days of WW2. He has a couple of other fantasy-ish series like the Atlantis one mentioned above.
He grossly overuses a couple literary devices, one of the worst is having one humble character come up with inventions or innovations that in real history arose in diverse places and involved the work of different teams of some of the best engineering and technological minds of their times, or be in so many significant events that the entire staff of all the newsreel companies in the US in their prime couldn't match his actor.
His attempts to conform historical characters to his story line and unfortunate attempts to force analogs of historical events and battles into outcomes on his alternate timelines pretty much killed my willing suspension of disbelief, particularly for the series on the North vs. South, which lost me completely along about the late Interwar period analog.

It WAS a Harry Turtledove book. Called "The Guns of the South", short plot is that Afrikaaners from RSA send AK-47s to the CSA, the intent being that the CSA would support the RSA during apartheid. CSA wins the war, then kills the Afrikaaners.
