100% ...both parties have been instrumental in destroying America for decades. Trump is performing chest compressions right now but Trump's time in office will end. Some massive fucking changes need to take place to the RINOsaur party and they need to stay in power. If the Dems get back in, it is curtains.
I don't get all the nutworship for Lincoln . One of the worst things to ever happen to america was him freeing the slaves . He should have freed them by sending them all back to africa
He should have freed them by sending them all back to africa
If the South hadn't seceded, it could have asked for, and gotten, that. By 1860, the U.S. government was large enough to move them back to Liberia, and spend time draining swamps (to cut down on malaria) and clearing new land for the colony, and supporting it until it was stable. Pro-abolition sentiment in the UK was probably powerful enough to make HM's governments help the U.S. in this endeavor.
But the South didn't want that. It wanted its slaves, at any price. That's why planters would pack their slaves into wagons and drive further south with them at the approach of a Union army, leaving behind, you know, their own families.
Slavery and the slave trade was unpopular in America. All the American colonies, now States, outlawed the slave trade in 1776-7. It took a while for the planter class to re-take control of their governments and reinstate it, but they were so powerful in only two states: Georgia and South Carolina. Then the U.S. Congress shut it down in 1808.
Lincoln approved a proposed Constitutional amendment to preserve slavery in the current slave states, but North and South were aware that the free states would outnumber the slave states, and slavery would eventually be ended with a new amendment.
So the planter class went on and on, winning all the skirmishes, until they finally lost the war and lost all the things they might have asked for, and killed 600,000 people (almost all white) in the process.
We should have exterminated the Democrats in 1866. Ah, well.
The next generation of politician, the non-politician. Politicians are cancer to any society, their only goal is to grow their wealth and spread their power. I'm sick of it.
Actually, I was talking to the skyscraper. But with your sense, I'm thinking it could be quite interesting if he and Scott Lang got into a fist fight ;)
It is also a fact the politicians of New Yorks democrat machine, Tammany Hall, put up many lasting public and commercial buildings that shaped the NY skyline and paved the way to future prosperity; until, that is, Tammany Hall was busted in the late 1800's for bid rigging, bribery, and kickbacks from construction companies. The political legacy never really went away, though.
I’ve never considered him to be a “politician” only a President
God help America once another politician reaches the presidency.
I basically consider the term an insult at this point

I just want to say that I love you people.
Push push push pede
That's why I hope Trump will TRULY drain the swamp next term. That, or the career Republicans need to grow a scrotum and fight back.
Career Republicans = cancer to America unfortunately. They have proven themselves. FWIW...Pussy Ted is no "Lion" either.
Yep hes a businessman president who doesnt care about his political future. He just goes balls deep into winning.
And I never will. He is a statesman. One who conducts the business of government.
Lincoln wasn’t a maverick really, he was a pretty cookie-cutter lawyer and politician.
I think history thrust him into a position of greatness rather than him seeking it.
Lincoln had journalists who didn’t agree with him thrown in jail.

Has this even happened before in the history of everything? Seems like a first to me.
I read this his wealth is more than all previous US president's combined.

POTUS - I know a few things about building, because I've built a few things.
Somehow, I thought you'd be taller. As in like, an actual skyscraper ;)
He's a lot taller than Godzilla -

Fun fact: This man was never and never will be a politician. He loves America. He's a patriot.
Aside from the founding fathers, Id like to think Teddy Roosevelt "did something", and also JFK was on to something too, which is why he had to go.
It is also a fact the politicians of New Yorks democrat machine, Tammany Hall, put up many lasting public and commercial buildings that shaped the NY skyline and paved the way to future prosperity; until, that is, Tammany Hall was busted in the late 1800's for bid rigging, bribery, and kickbacks from construction companies.

Very good point.
Old Senator kohl of Wisconsin "built" the kohls brand.

"He built that!"
No more insiders for president.

The Founding Fathers played a minor role too.
