Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchiesand despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out everyabuse and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of theeveryday practices of this nation, and you will say with me that, for revoltingbarbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival...
Charlie Kirk sez: "This was possible thanks to Republican President Abraham Lincoln. Today Democrats are fighting to tear down his statue."Mailman 27 sez: "Wotthehell???"Taking a whack at the Lincoln Memorial, are we? Fighting to tear that son-of-a-gun down?? Where do I sign up for THAT??Kirk spouts nonsense like this, and the rest of his leftist comrades in the media keep on marching past this post-truth bullshit. Political commentary should have come to a screeching halt, there and then. Cool. He'll be back on Monday, tune in for more, um, lies? Yeah, lies. That's what they are.
Jefferson used to be my favorite when I was a kid, because I love language and because he's adorable as a character in 1776. But at some point it occurred to me that the DNA test showing the relationship between the Jefferson descendants and the Hemmings descendants conclusively proves that mf raped a woman for decades and enslaved his own children. Which, for any other white folks still letting him coast on how pretty the Declaration is, makes him LITERALLY THE WORST.
My jaw literally dropped reading the Steve King tweet. Literally. I sat there, mouth agape for a solid 30 seconds, just re-reading and trying to make it make not-totally-cartoon-villain-evil sense. Wild.
I will read it. Somewhere in the stuff I read today was something about how during those days they just shot black people as they were walking down the road, apparently for the hell of it. This was in Texas. I think maybe between the actual Emancipation Proclamation and Juneteenth, although i could not swear to it.
I think Thomas drove a supply wagon, or maybe wagons pulling cannon, like a Teamster kind of role. But people were still shooting at him and he had to shoot back, no doubt, and if he'd been captured his life would not have been worth a hill of beans.
So we both agree-- fuck the Islanders.

If white people are so awesome, why did we kidnap Black people from Africa to build the country. Why didn't we just do it our amazing selves?
And what's this about Labor Day? What about Job Creators' Day? Huh?

Wut??
Those aren't the ones who'd make that bullshit argument.
And, is there one phrase in there that makes it hang together? Like, English??

It reads like it was written by a particlarly lousy AI program. It has words and sentences but that's it.
