Thanks for clearing that up.
All these years I had thought the salient point was that he nearly decapitated his wife and brutally murdered another person.
Have a great vacation, I’m about to head out on one myself.
Haters are like crickets. Crickets make a lot of noise, you hear it, but you can't see them. Then right when you walk by them, they're quiet.
Most of us call Michelle “Michael” at times. You’ll have to prove she’s been a woman all her life before we’ll stop. Until then we will always be skeptical. “She” literally has pictures with a bulge.
Both, but mainly her race.
Not just the GOP? What world do you live in? What more hateful has been happening besides the pro-Gaza protests & camp-ins with their antisemitic chants? You're nothing but another lib disguising as an independent.
They are racists, mentally unstable, ignorant, and are here to troll. They will lie all day every day if it gets a reaction/response. They are no doubt the little boys throwing rocks at the big kids on the playground and running away, then crying because they get their assets beat when caught. Just like the programmed Palestinians....
"Hey, let's pick a fight and cry when we lose. If we record it, we can edit it, sell it to CNN, and get attention for it for years while the full video is censored on the internet!" - literal, liberal evil
Trump lays out his 'revenge' strategy after conviction makes him a felon
Former President Trump sounded off on key 2024 presidential race issues, including his New York City trial verdict, potential attorney general picks and trust in government.
For the south the war was about economics and autonomy which was for the south as inextricably linked to slavery as the Democrat party is to slavery.
For the north the war wasn't about slavery. It was about economics and control of the south.
I can't imagine anyone with reason voting for Biden and have no idea how he was elected to congress or managed to retain any job to which he's been elected/hired. He must simply be a sock puppet that votes however he's told to vote.
The South's economy & autonomy was slaves' driven & they knew it.
Control of the South = maintaining Union.
Not sure what North economics had to do with it. They would have still gotten everything they ever did from the South: cotton.
Thank you for not stating a single thing my post didn't already say. Lol
Of course not. Why would a liberal expect to understand economics?
Because they would've paid a far b greater price for that cotton, and the South would have been using that extra revenue to manufacture and in direct competition with the North. The North could afford to complain about slavery while benefitting from it, just as the left complains about low wages while looting stores, taking govt money, and buying goods on the backs of Chinese and other slave labor.
"It's always about economics, stupid.."
1st one yes. We know who banged it.
3rd one no. MACROevolution has never been observed. MICROevolution OTOH, would totally agree with you.
This is what I'm talking about. I am liking this transformation, vh. Well done!!
You didn't state what I wrote. You dodged it with fancy terms to suit your beliefs vs. being straightforward.
Why would the North have paid more for the cotton with the South separated than if the South remained in the Union? Still South's closest & best market - lowest shipping costs. Is South going to cut their own throats by charging the North more than anyone else?
South would have no more incentive to industrialize than they already did - very little. Cotton & other crops made them great money already. And the North had 3x the South's people. Capitalism works wonders. Slavery doesn't.
Your mind lives in fantasyland.
So dinosaurs to birds isn't macroevolution?
Speaker Johnson vows to 'fight back... with everything in our arsenal' after Trump verdict
House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to retaliate for Donald Trump's conviction Sunday, but said Republicans will remain within the "rule of law."
Which means they will hold meaningless senate and house hearings and nothing will be done. Let’s face it. The people have to change this at the ballot box. If that’s still even possible with the DNC election fraud machine still going strong.Speaker Johnson vows to 'fight back... with everything in our arsenal' after Trump verdict

Being afraid and not joining the cult are two totally different things.
I stated exactly what you reposted. Lol.
You're hilarious. Why do some countries pay other countries more for goods not produced by them than they do their own goods? Why would the federal govt not want to lose tariff & tax revenue on goods the South produced? It wasn't just about then. It was about the future and long term revenue.
The North needed the South to stay where they were, and everyone knows that. Why do you act like it's some mystery? The North had already found a new slave labor force in the carribbean, and were expanding elsewhere too, so they didn't need the South to retain slavery anymore, but they needed the South to not be manufacturing for as long as possible. They needed their labor force to stay put so they wouldn't soon see what happened in the 1970s.
You don't say... weird.
They would get and keep more of that money in the South. The rich always want to get richer. The South didn't want to industrialize while they had a good relationship with the North, sure. That relationship was souring very quickly, with the federalists getting into inter and intra state business. The South was being pushed into the fight and into industrialization (if it survived as its own nation (confederacy) of states). It couldn't stay mostly agrarian and defend its borders.
You're a trip. Lol. Capitalism existed pre-slavery And alongside slavery, Ricardo Mantalban. Indentured servitude, slavery, employment, and robotics are simply means to an end- the production or processing of goods as cheaply as possible.
That (as well as market competition) IS capitalism. There were other producers of cotton and such. The problem for the south was that the money was in very few hands and they wanted to keep it that way.
The industrialists in the North were paying for their help (labor). The South wasn't. The North wanted more money. They needed the war to make an obscene profit, as war always does make the rich richer. They knew that they had to force the war sooner rather than later, before the South was able to mount a better fight.
You've been there a while. Where can I get the best deals?
The civil war wasn't about slavery. It was about economics (greed). The excuse was slavery. The marketing was slavery and states' rights (which in fact mostly died with that conflict). You're just too naive like most liberals to understand the difference.
Secession didnt have to mean war. The war had to start when it did for the North to have the advantage. I as a northener by birth and upbringing wouldn't be surprised if the North started it. That's just business.
It's not possible without a new party. Not likely even WITH a new party. Where do you find thousands of people that can't be bought out or extorted for political positions?
Lying so you can virtue signal. Kind of par for today’s liberal extremism.
Dinosaurs didn't evolve into birds. LmAO... Hoky smokes! There are actually people that think that the Jurassic Park franchise isn't fiction.... r.o.t.f.l.m.a.o!! Priceless

So Miriam Adelson, who now owns the Mavs, just gave the Trump campaign 100M and his total is now near 200M since the verdict?
Cuban has to be seething if that is true, lol.

Prove the first and third are true. You are in the majority on the first, but sliding toward the minority, when considering studied people, as to the third.

"My revenge will be success,"
Excuse me? I don't care for your tone.
I'm called to love my enemies and my neighbors. And to pray for my enemies. Are you calling me evil?
If so, please don't speak to me again.
If the North's involvement had nothing to do with slavery, why did Lincoln sign the Emancipation Proclamation in the middle of the Civil War??
To say the North's involvement had nothing at all to do with slavery is completely devoid of facts.
Was slavery the only reason for the North's involvement? No,but it was definitely one of the main factors involved.
Slavery was the primary conduit for maintaining those economic advantages for the South which is why they were willing to secede and go to war over it.
It was All about economics....with slavery at the center of the $$$$ factors for the South and crops/trade $$$/slavery/unification at the center for the North.
Well, I've said here multiple times, not one more damn penny to Ukraine, Isreal, or any of the rest.
How about them apples?
You are behind the learning curve on this. Not every theory taught in the 1940s is supported by actual science.
A few anyway are. But I'm not suggesting anything. Just don't understand your post in the least. The two sentences don't connect.
Prove they're false. You brought the subjects up & made the initial claims.
