I’m a part of the “I’m with 005” cult.

It’s hard for people to change their opinion of how they voted when their person lost, since they can’t be disappointed by the work the person isn’t doing in the job they didn’t get.

What do they expect, people to say “Oh yeah, Hillary lost, I would have voted for Jill Stein if I had to do it over”?

Yeah, I don’t know why Clinton voters would suddenly have remorse for their vote. Given that Trump continues to have the worst popularity rating of any president at this point in his administration, it’s not like he’s done a lot of fantastic things that would make a Clinton voter change their mind.

This Trump tweet made me laugh.

Eventually, but at a later date so we can get started early, Mexico will be paying, in some form, for the badly needed border wall.

God bless Donald Trump.
I couldn’t believe it when he won.
My first time voting and I pick the winner!
Just awesome.

I am so shocked.

So what do you like better, his shitty treatment of women or his shitty treatment of non-whites? My guess, based entirely on your posts here, is that you can’t decide because you like both of those.

What about my posts here other than my last one gave you that impression?

The fact that you’re making them.

No really, let’s stop being funny for a sec.
What about my posts prior to the first one in this thread gave you the impression that I don’t like minorities/women?

You are being antagonized, nothing more, good thing is you don’t have to dance if you don’t want to.

😃

Either you’re not following the entire conversation or you’re a terrible judge of character, giving into previously established bias against Frink. You think that guy’s innocent and Warbler is a baiter…geez, man.

In the coming days, the city will also remove three statues of Confederate Gens. Robert E. Lee and P.G.T. Beauregard and Confederate President Jefferson Davis, now that legal challenges have been overcome.

Are we trying to pretend the Civil War never happened? Robert E. Lee is probably the least offensive prominent Confederate figure. He’s nowhere near as bad as George Wallace, who actually ran for President on a white supremacy platform… in 1968. I don’t feel like these removals are really thought through.

You can argue that the Civil War statues shouldn’t be removed, but the statue honoring a white supremacist uprising definitely had to go.

Kids manage to learn all about the Revolutionary War without having statues of or military bases named after Benedict Arnold. I’m sure nobody will forget about the Civil War without statues to this particular batch of traitors.

You say tomato, I say tomahto–it’s an old song. It means that there is no significant difference between those words.

I’m not so sure you can say there is no significant difference between a white supremacist uprising and the Civil War. I think the Civil War was bit more complicated than that.

It took a lot longer to put down than most other white supremacist uprisings, certainly. Other than that, I’m not really seeing it. Certainly if those cop killers honored by the statue in question had the military capacity of the Confederacy, I’m sure they’d have had delusions of statehood as well.

Along with the “It’ll Will Be Alright” narcotic prescriptions and the mandated nap times for recovery purposes it’s all roses.

As much as I’m a leery about Confederate pride (which nowadays shouldn’t really exist), I do think they should be careful. The rebels weren’t nazis, they were Americans. Not everyone was fighting to keep their slaves (just as not every union soldier was fighting to free their slaves). I think I agree here with Warb, the Civil War was a lot more complicated than a “white supremacist uprising.” In the south they call it the war of northern aggression, which I think is pretty silly but it’s a good reminder that they seceded, and then the north started the war. For many southern soldiers, they were fighting for their freedom (and yeah fuck them if it was freedom to own slaves but a lot of them didn’t see it that way, the south was their home and if they were now a part of the CSA they were going to fight for that).

The Democratic Party itself is less popular than your vile and hated Trump punching bag so I’m not sure what you’re bragging about.

That didn’t remove my confusion since you simply repeated the part I didn’t understand the first time.

I never said the Civil War wasn’t about slavery. It definitely was about slavery, but I don’t think that it was the only thing the war was about. Certainly not everyone fighting for the south was doing it to preserve slavery. Some were doing so, because they had two options 1: fight against the union, or 2: fight again their own state, against their own cities/towns. I heard it said that is why Lee was fighting for the south, he could fight against the country or fight against his home state of Virginia, he chose to fight against the country.
