It's not whataboutism.  It's directly related.  I was rebutting a previous post about Lindsey Graham in which he tried to claim that Republicans had been dealing with supreme court confirmations in good faith while democrats had suddenly politicized the process.  The politicization had started far earlier.  Republicans tried to ram this confirmation through saying they were on a strict time table.  Two years ago, they stalled for months. So you see, those are related topics.  Whataboutism is when you bring up an issue, and I bring up something unrelated in order to distract from your point.  

Funny, when Obama nominated Merrick Garland, the Republican Senate had no problem postponing a hearing for months for purely partisan reasons.   

you don't get to take the high road.  
 
Once you all threw in with Trump, normal rules go out the window.  Every tactic is allowed.  You all support a man of such obvious low character and bad motives because it furthers an agenda you favor.  Don't complain when the people who disagree with you start to utilize every tactic available.

What proof do you have that these women are lying?

This is the point where I jump in and mention that I interviewed the author of these books, R L Dinardo, a couple years ago.  https://tankandafvnews.com/tag/r-l-dinardo/
 
Fun fact, he told me that he orginally wanted to title the book on horses in the German army of WWII "Stuck in the mud and knee deep in horse shit."  He said the publisher was not too keen on that title.  He has a very strong New York accent and sense of humor.

Actually, I was using the numbers from Gallup, who tend to post numbers more in favor of Trump than most of the other polls.  ABC is reporting a 60% dissapproval rating.

Fixed that for you.

Apples and Oranges.  The Trillion Dollar coin idea you mention was a gimmick response to the debt ceiling crisis and it was not taken seriously.  Watch the video you linked, Obama is very dismissive of the idea.  
 
As to the references to the Woodward book, you can read it for yourself here.   Trump was not discussing the debt ceiling.  He was talking about the US government printing money to reduce debt, a concept everyone knows is a recipe for inflation.  

 
 
As to the idea that Trump was just joking, I don't believe the man jokes.  If there is one thing I have learned, it's that Trump means everything he says.  It's just that much of what he says is so outlandish or off the wall that reasonable people assume he must be joking.  He is not.  As far as I can tell, the only time he exhibits a sense of humor is when he is mocking or belittling other people.  

I'm guessing quite a few people believe the "fan fiction" of Bob Woodward.  Unlike Trump, he has something called credibility.

People complaining that Willie Nelson has endorsed the Democrat in the Texas Senate race must have ignored Willie's entire career.  

Really?  You really believe that?  He released his birth certificate in 2008, before he was even elected.  Then, in 2011, he released his "certificate of live birth", also known as the long form birth certificate as well as accompanying birth announcements from Hawaiian newspapers.  And yet, the conspiracy theories continued, despite the complete lack of any evidence.  This bullshit should have ended in 2011.  In no way did this crap benefit Obama.  The ones who benefitted were the ones pedalling this bullshit to their gullible believers.  You know, Donald Trump.
 
 

Got my review copy of "Professor Porsche's Wars" yesterday.  Looks like it's got some interesting stuff in it.  
 
 

How is Trump not an Oligarchy of one?  Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

Pretty sure liberals don't love Jeff Sessions.  Not at all happy with his misguided, antiquated war on pot.  That said, Sessions seems to have enough integrity to know, at least at the barest minimum, of the proper role of the Attorney General as the head of the Justice Department.  He is not the lawyer for the President.  He is not there to protect the President or the Republican party.  He is there to lead the Justice department. The "libtards" are not cheering for individuals such as Sessions or Comey, they are cheering for the institutions they represent to survive the threat posed by the would be dictator King Donald.  

Two more fine additions to my collection. These are just collections of documents, but pertaining to the designers behind the T-34 tank (Koshkin and Morozov) more so than the vehicle itself. Also photos, but the photos are not very high quality.
 

 
 

This article would later appear in ARMOR magazine.  It's by Jim Warford, a regular over at Tank net.  One of the funniest things about this article is that Sparky/Blacktail wrote a ridiculous rebuttal to it years after the fact.

German concept proposed during the Kampfpanzer 3 / FMBT project to the UK via https://andrei-bt.livejournal.com/928203.html
 
Twin-gun casemat tank from Maschinenbau Kiel:



 
Low-profile turret tank with driver in turret by Krauss-Maffei (similar to MBT-70, but with 120 mm smoothbore gun and manual loader - maybe derived from the Eber concept):


 
Data:


 
Armor is spaced steel plates, sometimes with fuel inbetween them. The MaK design has 727 mm thick armor, but the actual steel thickness is just 259 mm...




 
Note that according to Krapke a third concept (AFAIK either turretless or with unmanned turret?) was proposed.

Walt confirmed for not liking special needs kids. ~ per the standards of modern journalism.

I have several friends in New York.  None of them sound retarded.
