    GOP position on abortion in a timeline where Moral Majority never took off

    I know McCain expressed his position as pro-life, I was basically suggesting, what would be the conditions that could lead him or any other Republican to pick a pro choice running mate without significant backlash. It's interesting you suggest that both parties could become pro-choice, but I...
  2. Sports What Ifs.

    Now THAT would be fascinating. The NFL tooling around with 16-20 teams through the 70s and 80s until the USFL shows up, starts off as a competing fall league, and hits some bumps but ultimately forces a merger. Trump or no Trump, it could work if the NFL doesn’t have the same chokehold on 28...
  3. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes VI (Do Not Post Current Politics or Political Figures Here)

    Red Dwarf, sometimes known as Red Dwarf: The Movie, is a British science-fiction comedy film based on the TV series of the same name. Released on the 9th August, 2002, it reunited the cast from the then-most recent series (Series VIII, broadcast in 1999), and was co-directed by co-creator Doug...

    American Chernobyl: The Grand Forks Nuclear Disaster of 1980

    Fizzles don't work that way, and bomb grade Plutonium(90+% Pu239) isn't highly radioactive, with half-lives in the 24,000 year range, and is a big alpha emitter, which means not a problem unless inhaled or ingested. Then besides the alpha radioactivity, it's a chemically toxic Heavy Metal...
  5. American Chernobyl: The Grand Forks Nuclear Disaster of 1980

    A tremendous overestimate. Yes, at first SAC might consider the detonation to be a Soviet attack of some kind, but a combination of "hot line" communications, the absence of any other kind of response (no launches, no other detonations, no unusual activity from the Soviets), and a review of...
  6. Little Rock Nine Massacre

    Reminds me more of the old SNL sketch where Michael Jordan plays the “first black Harlem Globetrotter” and the team owner tells him that he’ll be called all kinds of names (in reference to Branch Rickey and Jackie Robinson) but the only name he can come up with is “blackie” over and over again...
  7. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    My fathers tanker , on the Russian run, had 11 guns - one 4", the rest light AA. She was the most heavily armed ship in the close escort!
  8. The Q-BAM Improvement and Core Thread

    If this new version of the Q-BAM map has a better projection than the Robinson projection. Then maybe we should begin anew and continue to work on this map from this day
  9. Sports What Ifs.

    Maybe the USFL has a chance to battle the NFL if Trumpy Bear doesn't come along and ruin it. The World Football league was doomed from day 1, so that's out of the equation. The XFL (2001), um no, just no.
  10. Gary Seven-based Star Trek spinoff replaces TNG

    I really can't see this replacing TNG, what Paramount wanted by 1986 was more Enterprise based adventures and Robert Lansing died in 1994 so replacing DS9 or Voyager seems impractical as well. It's best shot is the late 60's early 70's but few genre shows of that era lasted long and it might...
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Exactly. This clip says it best.

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Of course. Let us examine what happened to France. About 57,000 French civilians were killed in Allied bombings, that is bombings, alone. About 500,000 tonnes of the bombs dropped by the Wallies, fell on France. The Wallies dropped 2.5 million tonnes of bombs in WW2 in strategic raids in...
  13. Goeben Atlantic breakout

    Is there any information on the quality of British 9.2", 6" and 4" shells at this stage of the war? It will improve Souchon's chances of breaking into the Atlantic without being "mission killed" if they were as bad as the heavier shells.

    Flag Thread V

    Are these supposed to be public domain or are they part of an ATL?
  15. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Sorry to hear your unwell. To be fair most of its nonsense anyway I had a relevant post on pg 339 (last post - about flail tanks and their development)?
  16. A more realistic (IMO) AHC: US Metro/Regional Transit as good as in Europe.

    I picked an early POD (pre-Model T Ford) for that timeline because I wanted to explore the idea of automotive innovation in the USA with some European-style constraints. Put up the guard rails early enough, you don't stifle the industry, it just grows differently.
  17. Everything Has Gone Green: The Consequences of Googling Murray Bookchin

    Was not expecting President Agran, but it's great to see him here. What did the map look like? Did you mean 1972?
  18. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    PQ18 case in point - staggering amount of AAA
  19. The Revenge of the Crown : An Alternate 1812 and Beyond.

    I just wanted to say, I love this so far! Keep it up!
