It's going to be funny watching TDS being pushed to its limit in the upcoming years. Just how many horrible hills do you die on just to not agree with Trump on anything?
The way they use fascism is self defeating too. They work from a perspective that the U.S. is uniquely evil, settler-colonialist, and that the people here should be ashamed of their ancestors, and their history, because its inherently "fascist." Its very hard to build political coalitions with so much self hatred towards your own nation and people.
it worked when they didnt expect anything of you and being liberal meant calling conservatives niggers and smoking weed while enjoying media that still had a spark of soul. no one wants to lay down their life or live by a strict set of principles in the name of gay bum sex or faggot child molestation or to be able to "enjoy" fat black lady 7 the game the movie. they thought they had a more active genuine acceptance vs a lethargic tolerance.
Regardless of whether any particular idea of Lincoln was good, much less that big question of secession, I’ve come to believe Lincoln really was a normal, chill dude.
There's a lot he could have done differently and there are some questionable decisions he made. However, the more I look at him the more I realize he was a decent man backed into a corner. The worst I can say is he was bad with picking generals and micromanaging before Grant, but he really didn't have a lot of options available.
I have a suspicion that Johnson has been subjected to a smear campaign. I can't quite defend it, but it really came to me visiting his homestead in Northeast Tennessee. This was a very humble man (he was a tailor by trade, had a log cabin, very much like Lincoln in background and indeed very close to him in his political ideas), and one of the things he did after the War was start educating the local Blacks and basically trying to build up their community. I just remember thinking, this does not feel like the moustache-twirling villain we're always sold.
Never heard much about him in school at the time. I don't really have a fond option of the man. Particularly because he got into repeated spats with General Grant that were so bad Grant was on the verge of impeaching and possibly overthrowing his ass. The man was opportunistic, lacked tact and attempted to grab naked power with the military.
One of the first things he attempted to do was put General Lee and several major Confederates on trial. This pissed off Grant immensely and made him threaten to resign
.
And so Grant confronted Johnson regarding the plan to prosecute Lee. In his book Around the World with General Grant (1879), John Russell Young relates Grant’s summary of the dispute with the president:
"Mr. Johnson spoke of Lee, and wanted to know why any military commander had a right to protect an arch-traitor from the laws. I was angry at this, and I spoke earnestly and plainly to the President. I said, that as General, it was none of my business what he or Congress did with General Lee or his other commanders . . . That did not come in my province. But a general commanding troops has certain responsibilities and duties and power, which are supreme. He must deal with the enemy in front of him so as to destroy him . . . His engagements are sacred so far as they lead to the destruction of the foe. I had made certain terms with Lee . . . If I had told him and his army that their liberty would be invaded, that they would be open to arrest, trial, and execution for treason, Lee would never have surrendered, and we should have lost many lives in destroying him. Now my terms of surrender were according to military law, and so long as Lee was observing his parole I would never consent to his arrest . . . I should have resigned the command of the army rather than have carried out any order directing me to arrest Lee or any of his commanders who obeyed the laws." (Chernow 552-553)
Johnson is also on record attempting to place Grant as ambassador to Mexico to commit voter fraud behind his back with the military.
There's more I can't remember exactly, but in my opinion Johnson was a shitty president that could have been a lot worse if Grant wasn't there to put him in check. Grant's administration sadly wasn't too great afterwards, but I consider his actions with Johnson to be fully warranted and a major highlight.
man, there is a clip from one of those men vs women survival shows that always end halfway through because lol men win where a woman does exactly this type of shit by throwing perfectly good firewood into the ocean because the guys told her to fuck off
Yeah the apprentice is pretty good at this too. Season 1 was a freak accident though. The men constantly got their asses handed to them in business deals by the women because of their sex appeal. Trump eventually wised up and put a stop to that.
Not the first and not the last time theater kids fucked up something in politics.
The odd thing about Booth is that he wasn't just some rando, but one of the well known actors of his day. Him killing Lincoln was the period equivalent of Ryan Gosling turning up at Mar-a-Lago with a duffle bag of guns.
Yes and his brother was a terrific actor that had to live with that shit for the rest of his life. Ended up saving one of Lincolns sons from getting ran over by a train though.
Ive brought it up before but the Soviet woman soldiers were legit. There were probably more auxiliaries then actual combatants but Russia's population size ensured there were still a fair amount of them. I think the BIG deciding factor between successful women soldiers and unsuccessful ones is unironic patriotism. As crazy as it sounds, it doesn't matter if a petite medic is half the size of the people she's carrying. As long as she loves the hell out of the motherland and has a shit ton of adrenaline she can still do it. You have to remember this was a war for survival. A war so crazy insane asylum patients in Britain miraculously turned sane to help people in the bliz. A huge existential threat can really change people.
The less glamorous aftermath if they survive is higher chances of super PTSD, stigma against marriage to them and a body that's been so banged up they can't have kids
It's been a long time since I've looked, but haven't some of these White farmers been denied asylum in some countries because of these media lies about the situation? I distinctly remember one of them being denied asylum from Canuckland because of it being "fake news". It pisses me off when I see it. On the one hand, these are one group of people I wouldn't mind giving asylum to, but on the other hand, I don't want the niggers of South Africa to get a win by actually getting Whites to leave.
sounds like the same talking points the faggots in this thread has been spewing.
Helping save the farmers from south africa is bad because JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOs.

I've heard the Zulu aren't part of the problem but am not really that in touch with the reality of things. I think it's primarily the bantu but I don't even know what the bantu really are.
