US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

The hack on Twatter are absolutely salivating at the thought of Thomas kicking the bucket before the election.

It's positively ghoulish.

 

[The Ugly One]

Tell me how this was supposed to work because Congress had no chance in hell of legally banning slavery with the Southern states being represented in the chamber.

"The South had to secede, because those crazy abolitionists were going to ban slavery and refused to compromise!"

"Haha the North had no chance of ever banning slavery!"

Pick one.

By this logic England would've kept their military installations in the new United States.

I was unaware the colonies were able to peacefully take control of these military installations by asserting their rights in court. I could have sworn there was some kind of war.

Or maybe it was about the tariffs destroying the capacity of the south to export.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

ITT: Bleeding Kansas and other wacky events didn't happen we went straight from 1820 to 1860.

This back-and-forth over Lincoln and the civil war is without a doubt one of the most retarded things I've seen on this site.

 

[Your Girlfriend's Dad]

Hey, cocksuckers, keep your US politics to within the last century and a half. It's been like 15 fucking pages. There's shit going on all over the place right now, let's focus on that.

 

[dustbuster]

There's shit going on all over the place right now

It's been a slow news month.
Aside from periodic updates on Trump's show trials there's been no movement re: the status quo of open borders and multiple wars.

 

[WhiskeyJack]

You clearly missed out on the infamous twenty page argument over Russian soldiers secretly hijacking trains to invade the rest of Europe.

Oh shit. The sacking of Rome

I usually don't take you for being this ignorant.

The impetus of States' Rights in this is that agreed upon laws (such as Fugitive Slave Act of 1855) were being simply ignored in northern states. As well as the ability of the Southern states to fully represent their interests in the expansion Westward. As attitudes trended towards abolition in the North, rather than use the mechanism of our government to deal with it the North simply denied the South recourse in the matter. This was the final nail in the coffin. If we had a system of representation to settle disputes and mitigate these kind of things in begrudging mutual agreement what is the point of bothering with it if half of the states only honor it when they feel like it?

The addage I always liked is this:
"Slavery may have been the bullet, but States' Rights was the rifle that fired it."

autistic men stop their conversation from veering into history sperging about the civil war or ww2 challenge (impossible)

 

[pwnest injun]

There's enough actual news happening right now that you really don't need to talk about history...

Well they aren’t getting on.

Which is amazing because of how wildy popular, read and praised Art of the Deal was before he ran.

 

[mandatorylurk]

Here's how retardedly biased the NY case is:





Joepedo having a meltdown in PA in front of 100 people:

Speaker Johnson is turning into a Romney before our eyes, whatever video they showed of his wife cucking him broke him:

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

well I guess you're not speaker for the USA, bitch, we're not at war

 

[The Ugly One]

If we had a system of representation to settle disputes and mitigate these kind of things in begrudging mutual agreement what is the point of bothering with it if half of the states only honor it when they feel like it?

12 of 33 states, representing 20% of the free population of the USA, seceded.

The problem isn't that half the country denied the other half its representation, the problem is that a fifth of the country wanted the right to be treated like it was half when it came to matters under federal jurisdiction, like the governance of territories.

As attitudes trended towards abolition in the North, rather than use the mechanism of our government to deal with it the North simply denied the South recourse in the matter.

No, they didn't. Your recourse in a republic is via elections, and at no point did the North deny Southern states their EC votes, their Senators, or their Representatives. The South revolted because, under the Constitution and its mechanism of government, their shrinking minority would mean that the United States would eventually abolish slavery.

I'll stop here since this not a Civil War thread.

 

[Eekum Bokum]

Hardest challenge since the Civil War? now I know that the public education system is pretty bad in America but it can't be so bad that someone with, I assume, a decent education hasn't heard of WW1, WW2 or The Cold War or has but considers Israel getting a little pushback for once or Ukraine and Russia having a slav fight a greater challenge than what I listed.

Or he could just be a cunt.
