As always, actions speak louder than words.

Shocking that the man who is dishonest created a dishonest organization. Shocking, I tell you.

Has anyone else read “Ministry for the Future,” by Kim Stanley Robinson? It is depressingly realistic.

It’s like turning off your radio so you can read the map better.

Gotta go big screen for big purchases.

Ours was “Did you hear that noise??”

That sounds just like r/SaltLakeCity

I’m surprised there is no law about that: she was instituted for a reason, did not uphold the very core of her promises. She should be destituted and banned for office for life.

I feel like the core of her crime is that she said she was going to do X, Y, and Z but fully intends to do A, B, and C while in office. Is that really that different from most politicians?

Many politicians try and fail to accomplish their goals, but many others don’t even try.

one could argue that the prelude to the civil war started before independence, since the Quakers were anti-slavery. even disregarding that, fighting was occuring over slavery for decades prior to the formation of the Confederacy - the famous bit at the tail end of that, “bleeding Kansas”, occured in the early 1850s.

a mere 4 or 8 year length of time is largely inconsequential.

The US Civil War is more significant than just the penultimate legal question on slavery. It also set the tone for politics for the next 50 years, completely destroyed the population and economy of nearly half the country, and paved the road for some of the most important Amendments to the US Constitution.

Plus the advances in war time technologies, tactics, and medicine weren’t too shabby.

What I find particularly interesting is that the Confederacy only existed for 4 years, meaning to run around with an Obama flag would more historically relevant than this shit.

“Historically relevant” or “historically significant” is really tricky thing to judge sometimes. While Obama’s 2 terms as president meant he was in charge for 8 years vs the Confederacy’s 4, I believe the Confederacy and the US Civil War they caused was more historically relevant than Obama’s 8 years as president.

There’s a whole lot of nasty from the war and immediate fall out we’re seeing feeling today.

Talk about unexpected privileges. Thanks for your answer.

Thank you!
