Nonsense. They'll be thinking of all the privileged White Male Mathematicians threatening them with their power and preferences being established over all of society, and how they can be good Allies in the fight against CIS-normative Hetero White Trash Male Oppression.

These Democrats/leftist are so ridiculously dense sometimes. They go out of their way to satisfy these fringe extremist and take a dump on the faces of large voting blocs.. working class whites.

This is the backwards thinking that Target's CEO used when he said males could pee in female bathrooms to satisfy the 0.0001% of people that represent the trans community in the US. A family retail store CEO saying this is the right way to go.

Like I said, pure idiocy.

Dan8267 says

Yes, but do you hold betraying England on the same level as betraying America?

Not at all. The feds betrayal of the founding principals that formed this country is the most vile, reprehensible act I have ever seen committed, 1000 times worse because it was committed against fellow Americans.

"Therefore I deemed that you were fighting the battles of our liberty, our progress, and our civilization;"

-Lord Acton to General Robert E Lee

"For 72 years, Northern special interest groups used these protective tariffs to exploit the South for their own benefit. Finally in 1861, the oppression of those import duties started the Civil War."

Ah, it was a 72 year itch then, huh?

The rest of your post is a straw man. I said in my earlier post that the Union's interest was in keeping the country together. That's not it doubt.

Where you're wrong, however, is that secession was absolutely caused by the desire of the South to keep slavery. It is proven conclusively by the secession letter I posted on here previously. There can be no doubt by anyone after reading that letter.

You are 100% wrong.

Dan8267 says

Another revisionist. Come on, want to get into an evidence war with me?

You've contributed zero sources but your own mouth. And no, it's not too big to fail.

"I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so." Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861.

There are obviously many connections between trump and the moon. Trump looked at the moon and so he knows the moon-there needs to be a special prosecutor.

Moreso the right to not be attacked by the north.

More the right not to be exploited by the North.

“Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power and this I and my friends are all in favor of, for slavery is but the owning of labor and carries with it the care of the laborers, while the European plan, led on by England, is that capital shall control labor by controlling wages. The great debt that capitalists will see to it is made out of the war must be used as a means to control the volume of money.”

Your article was an opinion piece that refutes nothing. Because it's irrefutable. The states seceded over slavery. Period. Any other opinion is pure revisionist history.

I didn't talk out of my ass. I posted the actual secession letter which details why South Carolina was seceding. And surprise, surprise, it says ... because of slavery.

"JJJ also likes to add qualifiers to his opinion, like "clear" "100%" "no doubt"... this is a 100% clear admission of pure confirmation bias. No doubt"

Of course. When a state says they are seceding because of slavery, I tend to think it's clear with no doubt that they are actually seceding because of slavery.

A large part of Target's stock price reversal was due to their transgender policy. The data corroborates this.

Interesting back story on Mueller and Comey.

Oh, you want me to call your bullshit? OK. Quote and site where I advocated racial violence. If you don't, then we know you are lying like a scumbag.

You are no different than a SJW. Conservative left, conservative right, doesn't matter. Conservatives always lie. Facts don't matter. The truth doesn't matter. The ends always justify the means.

Dude you edited your post about us being slavers and the things society should do to us. Shame on you Dan. You don't even have the balls to stick to what you believe in.

They have zero political capital to work w. They wont be doing much of anything besides fighting the russian narrative. That isnt Trump's fault. As per Dennis Kucinich, this is pure deep state politcal hackery.

The 126 million voters have not demanded a new ass kicking Glass-Steagall.
I see these assholes didn't demand that the TBTF be shuttered & sold off by the FDIC & screw the stockholders.
These simpletons have not demanded transparency of their Big Govt./deep state.
They gave up America's privacy with the Patriot Act & NDAA.

So there is no misunderstanding, FUCK DEMOCRAT & REPUBLICAN VOTERS!

IOW Nobody gives a fuck...

Lashkar_i_Trumpi says

Why?

What did the other candidate have to say about Glass-Steagall?

Trump was NEVER going to ask for a new Glass Steagall. Anyone who believed he would do anything to reign in Wall St. is either very naïve or very dumb.

He's pretty good at getting paid without getting paid. This will not be the first suspicious real estate deal.

Holy Crap, Ryan backstabbing Trump, probably while quoting Ayn Rand as he nixed an amendment to defund a Corporate Subsidy.

Yep. It's funny, because it's true! ... Nervous laughter...
Turns out Rohrbacher is an unwitting idiot (definitely) and an unwitting agent (maybe). Also turns out that the FBI warned Rohrbacher that Russia was trying to recruit him years ago.

How many arrows can one man fit on his fat ass?

Melanoma must have run up the charge cards again.

I also noticed the non-denial denial.

Comey's memo: Trump says that he hopes Comey can drop it.
Media reports: Trump pressured Comey to drop it (reasonable interpretation of direct quote)
Whitehouse: Trump never told Comey to stop the investigation.

Everybody told the truth! Amazing.
The thing is, if Trump and team cannot deny the contents of the memo, it most likely happened. They can cry fake news even though the facts are true. The only thing up for debate is the interpretation.

They are going to say that Obama started down the imprison journalist road by talking about charging Assange. It's pretty striking that Trump would ask for Comey to consider that. Even if he just told Comey to consider it, and he didn't direct him to do it.

The problem that the Trump sees (and that the Right sees) is that the media is fake, because it spins a fake narrative.
The problem that the left sees is that Trump is lying about what he said.
The problem that I see is that the media should report his statement and add that it could be interpreted as pressuring Comey (a subordinate) to drop the investigation. They should be more careful with their headlines.
The problem with Trump as I see it is that he cannot answer the direct question. From that I conclude that the memo is correct (otherwise, he would deny it). My interpretation of the whole thing is that Trump tried to cultivate a relationship with Comey and get him to quit the investigation of Flynn. He's not a complete moron, so he used vague language like 'I hope you can drop it' rather than commanding him to drop it. When he realized that Comey wasn't going to play ball, he fired him. Simple as that.

Not True. He testified that he was never told to drop an investigation by the AG or deputy AG. That was the specific hypothetical question he was answering.

Funny, because that's what he meant.

This is true, but do we need a thread to state the obvious? Also, why no like link?

In other words, I knew that the name was University of London but I also knew its colloquial monikers.

My senior partner got his LLM there.

BTW, even he goes back and forth between calling it London University, University of London, or just plain London.

And he's an alumni.

Well, it's whenever bob rears his ugly head, it's best for others, to cut/paste this discussion so that he's reminded that he's a worthless P.O.S, who's better off, if his soul decides to leave his body, so that he can live eternity with the holy spirit or whatever the heck he believes in, than being forced to be in the body.

Remember, he's miserable and doesn't want to live. It's just that his physiology is holding on dear life.

The communists got their way, the statue has been removed. Removing American history and sanitizing everything out to fit what they want it to be. Americas liberals gone nuts lately.

Next thing they'll be removing mount Rushmore because it's mostly Republicans up there. They'll find some justification, stupid shit is easy to come up with for the left, all they have to do is be themselves.

Not only that, they keep referring to the Donald as she. Maybe the con artist formerly known as trust fund twit is actually a trust fund tranny twit.
