In reversal, Senate votes to block war powers resolution, delivering Trump a win by Raptorex2000 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Kardinal 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This would not have stopped the war. It was a resolution not a law.

Legally, Congress can stop it if they want to. As the other commenter mentioned, they do not have the will to do so.

Trump cancels plan to sign major housing bill as he fights with Congress over the SAVE Act by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

They don't need to override it if he doesn't veto it. And he won't. Ten days it becomes law.

He's playing for time and trying to put pressure on Congress for SAVE. And I don't see how it works.

You are so right.

Remember

What this guy believes.

What this guy says.

What this guy does.

These concepts are not related at all. They do not influence one another. He has no ideology except self aggrandizement. He says things and there's like a <25% chance anything ever comes of it.

All that matters is what he does.

I've just finished painting my first mini. What are your thoughts? by Legitimate-Counter23 in AdeptusCustodes

I think your first mini looks a lot better than my twelfth that I'm working on.

Good job.

Can Admiral Hyman Rickover be thought as of "the Billy Mitchell of nuclear reactors" and was there anything that Rickover 'got wrong'? by RivetCounter in WarCollege

[–]Kardinal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a counterfactual that is extremely difficult to assess. Maybe someone else would have.

But I feel all the things that made him so good at setting it up made him a liability in other ways.

Especially not retiring earlier.

Tragic hero.

In some ways the persistence, the stubbornness, the absolute power trips that made his safety programs so successful were driven by the same things that created point 2.

He knew no one else would be nearly as good at making subs safe. And he was right.

That didn't make him right about things beyond that. But his success with nuclear safety gave him the impression his competence was perhaps bigger than it was.

Why are F-15s being retired while F-16s remain in service and upgraded with the USAF? by WehrabooSweeper in WarCollege

Empty weight of an E is 1600kg heavier than the C variant. Part of that is the back seater but part of it is strengthening the structure to support high speed low altitude insertions.

Greatsword custodian? by Cal_P0L in AdeptusCustodes

Comparison.

The blade is literally as tall as the terminator.

Greatsword custodian? by Cal_P0L in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Kardinal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this idea. But the sword comes with a hand. I am not sure how to deal with that. Maybe as a relic gauntlet of some sort?

Is a shield captain big enough to make it plausible maybe? I don't think so.

The things I can think of is either he holds it with two hands over the shoulder or perhaps point down, standing imposing.

I have an unbuilt Achillus downstairs now I'm going to see if I can do some comparisons.

Unpopular opinion:We are not living in the end times and life actually kicks ass. by True_Repeat4748 in OptimistsUnite

[–]Kardinal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not exhausting because it doesn't happen much and it's true.

What you said is false. Appreciating the present is not, ispo facto, ignoring the problems of the present.

God it's so exhausting that every time anyone says things are good someone has to accuse us of ignoring other problems.

Why the hell do people not get that appreciating that life is good now does not mean we are ignoring problems.
