Trump says Civil War could have been avoided through “negotiation”.
Good grief! I’d like to hear how this could have been ”negotiated”. Seems to forget that this tactic was tried for 70 years prior.

Let's not forget,
June 2015: “There’s nobody bigger or better at the military than I am.”
July 2016: "So a general gets on, sent obviously by Obama, and he said, 'Mr. Trump doesn't understand. He knows nothing about defense.' I know more about offense and defense than they will ever understand, believe me. Believe me. Than they will ever understand. Than they will ever understand."
Nov 2015: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do."
Nov 2015: "I know more about courts than any human being on Earth."
Mar 2016: "Nobody knows more about trade than me."
Apr 2016: "I know more about renewables than any human being on Earth."
May 2016: "I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world. Nobody knows more about taxes."
July 2016: "[L]ook, as a builder, nobody in the history of this country has ever known so much about infrastructure as Donald Trump."
Feb 8 2017: "I understand things. I comprehend very well. Ok? Better than, I think, almost anybody"
Dec 2018: "Technology — nobody knows more about technology than me."
Jan 2019: "I know more about drones than anybody. I know about every form of safety that you can have."
Want video evidence Trump said these things?

@ElwoodBlues In reality, its not trumps fault he is able to continue lying his @$$ off like this. It is the fact that the supply of morons that believe any of it seems to be endless..😷
ElwoodBlues · M
@whowasthatmaskedman And, arguably even worse, the supply of people who know exactly what Trump is but find it convenient to pretend otherwise.
Even back in 2016 Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Nikki Haley, etc; they KNEW how bad Trump is/was

@ElwoodBlues Agreed. Thats the other class of parasite on America. Those who profit. The true fascists. Trump is just a figurehead and not a very bright one.😷

@JollyRoger Similar to that great oxymoron “Quad Indicted Truth!”

@KunsanVeteran I missed that.... I need an explanation.

@anythingoes477 At least Lindell and Limbaugh had crack and oxy to blame their lies on respectively…

@dancingtongue Yes, I think if they had 'shared' the Holy Land with the Muslims at first instance the animosity might have been reduced. It had been "sort of" traded back and forth for thousands of years before - but Hey.... if God gave you something and God is going to protect you (even if He wears red, white and blue),... then Go for Broke!

@dancingtongue Israel is not a theocracy. It's a secular government. 20% of Israeli citizens aren't even Jewish, and have the same rights that Israeli Jews have.
The only true theocracy is Iran, defined as the religious authority having the supreme secular authority. There is no Jewish representation in the Iranian government, because there are only 8,500 Jews in the entire country, since most Iranian Jews were ethnically cleansed decades ago. Jewish schools are allowed to operate, but must be open on the Jewish sabbath, and the top leadership must be Muslim. If you think some Jewish Sanhedrin controls Israel on that level, you're either a raving antisemite or too ignorant to comment on this.
That doesn't mean Jews don't have greater influence in Israel, just as Christians have greater influence in the US than Jews or Muslims, because there are proportionally more of them. But the US isn't a Christian theocracy either.

@JollyRoger They'd had a shared "Holy Land" up to 1948. The reason for the partition was that it was obvious the two groups couldn't coexist. If you recall, as soon as the British withdrew, the surrounding Arab countries attacked, with the surprising result that Israel not only survived, but captured more land.

@trollslayer I wonder why no one was sharp enough to ask the orange traitor what compromises he would have made to avoid the war if he had represented the Union.

@Diotrephes Well, I am sure that he would have improved those Airfields from the Revolutionary War for their heavy bombers

@Nanoose [quote]Yeah he also said the Ukrainian war could be negotiated. The only way that would happen is if Ukraine gave Russia their land and the only way the civil war would be negotiated is if the south got to keep all their slaves. Cheers![/quote]
The North did not particularly want to end slavery; it did not want it to expand into the Western territories. The North would have been ecstatic if all Black people had been deported from America. They wanted an all-White country. The Southerners didn't like Blacks but would have gladly imported all of them from Africa to be their slaves.

The North did not fight to end slavery; it fought to keep the country unified. Remember, slavery existed in the North after the end of the Civil War. Black people became free December 6, 1865. But slavery is still legal in America.

Core inflation is up 4% from last year
Food prices are up 2.9% from last year
Shelter costs up 6.5% from last year
Interest rates raised to 5.5% which is the highest in about 2 decades
So I'm not sure what your numbers mean or indicate

Most countries voted to outlaw slavery. Nobody thinks the USA could do that. Your country is based in brute force. So even the planet must live under your brute force. Nobody can beat you.
