    We were robbed when Bob Dole was taken from us too soon to livestream Battlefield I and spend the whole time complaining that it's not like the way that he remembers it

      There's an alternate universe where Dole wins in 96 and 2000 and is president during 9/11

          Maybe no Iraq war? They should have made this a hinge points episode, picking really fucking weird shit would make better episodes of that in general I think

            Not sure about the MIC not morphing 9/11 and the Global War on Terror shit into an excuse to launch preemptive attacks on anyone that British Petroleum doesn't like. Operation: Desert Fox was indicative that the defense contractors pretty much had a lock on foreign policy for any reason they could drum up, and I doubt that Dole's cabinet would have contained any fewer careerist warhawk ghouls (a la Rumsfeld) than Bush's.

            President Dan Quayle's handling of Hurricane Katrina, though...
