  1. Post Apocalyptic timelines?

    I’ve recently reread Protect and Survive and have been playing some Fallout so I’ve been in the mood to read more timelines in a similar vein. Accuracy isn’t a big part of what I’m looking for (hence my reference to Fallout) but I’d like something that’s a tad optimistic despite setting. Can...

  2. AHC/WI: Free German government during WW2

  3. Ford doesn't Pardon Nixon, what comes afterwards?

    Would Nixon even be indicted though? Jaworski had no desire or intention of prosecuting Nixon. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1982/06/17/The-Watergate-grand-jury-tried-relentlessly-to-indict-Richard/6784393134400/...

  4. The starship Enterprise built in…Vegas?

    Back in 1992 a group of Vegas businessmen and casino owners were looking for a way to shift the attention of tourists away from the Vegas strip and towards the more neglected downtown. They approached designer Gary Goddard for ideas and he certainly had an ambitious one: Build a fully exploreble...

  5. former President Eisenhower matter-of-factly responds to half-rumor of “ two mistakes, and they are both sitting on the Supreme Court”?

    That was the same dinner where he also invited John Davis (1924 Dem presidential nominee and more importantly the lawyer arguing the pro-segregation side in Brown v Board) and had him sit next to Warren. Warren himself believed that Ike was trying to send him a pro-segregationist message and...

  6. WI: Clinton caught in an affair with high ranking politician while president

    Bill Clinton/Lizzy Dole would make the 96 election interesting

  7. The President Lay Dying: A TLIAW

    The what?

  8. The President Lay Dying: A TLIAW

    Excellent update as always. That said -and I’m being half serious- if Hubert was so worried about a successor to uphold his legacy could he legally have appointed his son Skip as VP?

  9. The President Lay Dying: A TLIAW

    Jimmy’s mad.

  10. What could plausibly keep NASA's funding at a high level?

    Something like the Chelyabinsk meteor happens over a major American city in the 1970s, providing a good scare to the people and government on the dangers of space?

    But now one can’t use decision.nochecks to make elections easy.

  13. The New Order: Last Days of Europe Thread II

    So how does one go about getting President Hart?

  14. Nixon (and MLK) Go Hollywood

    Excerpts from "Sock It To Me?: The Strange Hollywood Interlude of Richard Nixon" "After his appearance in Advice and Consent and his loss in the California gubernatorial election Richard Nixon was uncertain of his future... The decision to go into acting -even on such a small scale- seemed...

  15. AHC: Save Hayden Christensen's Career

    Bizarrely enough I think the answer is more Star Wars; but not movies. Around 2005 was right when Lucas was trying to develop a live action Star Wars tv series. While the initial idea was to focus on new characters with only cameos and guest appearances from film characters all one needs is a...
