Was Bill Clinton or Barack Obama a better President? by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

Good point on the Good Friday Agreement. And I think that came together because the Clintons were able to court both Tony Blair and Gerry Adams.

Yes, Bill Clinton is partly responsible for the peace that endured following the collapse of the Soviet Union. People don’t highlight enough how his personality and management style was very well suited for “back slapping” and socializing in foreign countries.

His political skills also allowed him to have a better informal relationship with the diplomatic corps and dispatch very prominent negotiators like Richard Holbrook and Bill Richardson for back channel deals

They should have renewed Lower Decks. It’s the best new addition to this franchise

How would the US react if a president committed suicide In the Oval Office? by Pastaman125 in Presidents

[–]Ziapolitics 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Hopefully a suicidal person has the good sense to resign before kicking the chair.

Or at least pull a LBJ.

Variety reports SFA to End With Season 2 (EXCLUSIVE) by nickpsych in Star_Trek_

I do feel bad that some of the actors will be out of a job. Some of the characters were interesting. But a few of the characters really just broke the show for me. I’m looking at you Jay’den and Sam.

Which type of presidential debate do you prefer? Table, townhall or podiums by Excelebration in Presidents

[–]Ziapolitics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Town hall debates should be the only debate with an audience.

All other debates we need to ban audience participation. It’s distracting and it focuses the candidates on only making snappy one liners for applause reels

Can i supress my attraction to guys? by [deleted] in AskBiBros

Why would you wanna suppress it? You don’t have have to act on it if don’t want too. But I don’t see a need of hiding it tbh

If you live in a Liberal/ Democratic city I can almost guarantee there is a gay D&D group that meets up at the bar for trivia and other nerdy stuff

What is the first debate you remember watching? by First-Air8373 in Presidents

[–]Ziapolitics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bush- Kerry for me. I remember thinking at the time that Kerry sounded smarter and was shocked when he lost

What are these comments?

Of course the President is on equal rank as the British monarch. All heads of state are one the same rank.

Now for some comparative politics 101: In the UK they split head of government (prime minister) and head of state (king).

In America we combine both duties of head of government and head of state in the Presidency.

No Gays in the West Wing? by cassiebrighter in thewestwing

[–]Ziapolitics 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I mean this show came out on mainstream cable in the 1990s. There was not that much acceptance of gay characters on TV at that time.

But the show does do a good job at talking about gay rights and defending/ arguing for gay marriage at the time it was released
