The rest are played by muppets. Stealing this from a twitter thread. Thought it might be fun. I’m going with John Wick 3. Keep Keanu.

Because many of those groups don’t intentionally teach a warped revisionist history, in order to drive an agenda. And I assume these groups are empowered to speak for all black people when they express these views, and that no blacks feel differently or have no opinion on the issue? You don’t support “black people’s” choice. I know this to be true because you just asserted them to be a monolith; and devalued the position of those blacks who would dissent. What you support is the choice of black people who conform to your ideas about what black people should think, and to hell with the rest of them.

The Thread For Greg's Stashes

You repeating the “slavery” trope doesn’t improve it as an argument. It’s highly revisionist, and highlights my prior point that it is the peak of foolishness to attempt to characterize the motives of the men who lived through those times and events through a modern understanding of the relationship between the Federal government and the states. The States themselves overwhelmingly believed that the right of secession was held exclusively by the states, and was part of the Constitutions of some. When the Federal government asserted otherwise, it broke the covenant. It is unfathomable to me that someone would assert that the foundational understanding of the proper role and limits of government, when those limits were being violently tested, would have no bearing on men who viewed their states as their country, and whose fathers and grandfathers had fought to obtain such an arrangement.

Two points, the second built on top of the first: 1) It is the peak of foolishness to attempt to understand history or to understand the motives of the men who lived it through the prism of modern morality and custom. 2). The Civil War was not fought over slavery. It was fought over state’s rights, which at the time included slavery, but also most other things. Slavery was the catalyst for some of the states, but for most is was the simple recognition that if the Federal government was willing to shatter the covenant over one issue, and to make war in it’s usurpation of power, that it would certainly be willing to do it again. Men of that time held a deeper loyalty to their individual states than they did their nation; and generally viewed the Federal government with a deep distrust, and in many cases, outright contempt.

Teaching children how to butt***** and abolishing private property. Well, at least the veil is down. -

The Impeachment Trial of President Donald J. Trump
TakeYouToTasker replied to Nanker's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I was going to comment about this. This is correct, there is no Constitutional requirement that the Senate wait for the House to advance Their impeachment managers, or to even allow them should the House advance them. I’m not even sure that the Senate, if it desired, is precluded from beginning a trial without having received the Articles from the House, given that they are publicly available, and the Senate could simply retrieve them. -
