Britain had zero interest in supporting the south.

The Republican party was founded to end slavery. Saying Lincoln was not an abolitionist involves nitpicking what being an abolitionist entails.

If the pilot airs, I'll be looking at which markets have the highest viewership. That should be revealing as to who this show applies to.

If trump thinks the PM of Japan cannot speak English, or his wife...Most kids in Japan speak English even if it's broken. And they sure as hell understand basics of English. If I was PM Abe, I'd demand an apology. Or seppuku.

I have this amazing mental image of Trump leaning over and saying "you know, my hands look much bigger if you hold them right up to your face like this" and a panicking Akie Abe stammering "me no speak English".

Abolitionists reluctantly supported Lincoln, kind of like conservatives and some evangelicals reluctantly supported Trump

Adam Schiff would try to pass legislation forming a new select committee and hire Mueller to head it. He'd probably succeed.

I cant help but wonder if this 'leak' was planned after Trump made his dumb statement that he might fire Meuller.
Put pressure on a suspect and wait for him to screw up is a time honored investigation method.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Hell, at least they acknowledge that the south wanted to keep slaves and that's what the conflict was over. These days that's more than a lot of southerners will concede. "Muh states rights!"

Eh, that depends on how you define "what the conflict was over." The South seceded over slavery, but the Union didn't start the Civil War to free the slaves either.

Ahhh I should have called Mueller " a LOSER and FAKE REPUBLICAN" in my poll.

Good news for campus free speech: as opposed to Middlebury, Claremont-McKenna decided on real punishments for the protestors that blocked all public entrances do Heather McDonald's talks and prevented the scheduled dinner.

Good for them! Stupid college protests to prevent someone from even speaking in the first place should be punished.

Though I don't actually agree with the author that those students should have been immediately expelled. I think that's overly harsh.

A victory for public order. I dislike when the police do everything in their power to avoid arresting and charging people. I have had more than a few trespassing cases that started with the police being unwilling to remove clear squatters and then they were still unwilling to remove them after we obtain a order from the court. Or my personal favorite, when police would just drive the homeless squatters to another town across the river and drop them off.

Edit; The college protesters didn’t seem to be the problem. Berkley was experiencing this weird influx of protesters from outside areas that were set on property destruction. I’m pretty sure if it was only the students protesting, the college could have handled it.

I wouldn't buy for a second that britian didn't have some interest in supporting the south to divide the united states and keep it from being a world power. That they knew how poor the position the south was in makes me belive that they didn't want to piss off the states if they supported the south and the south lost anyway.

The civil war was about slavery. that the Souths economy was dependent on slavery and had been dependent on slavery from the birth of the union. That they didn't like that the north was now able to ignore the souths wish's with the immigration from European nations is only tangential to that they didn't have the power anymore to keep slavery. The states rights argument was only to serve their ability and argument to keep slaves. The civil war was about slavery. It was going to happen from the start of the nation and everyone knew it was coming.

SO, regarding the HBO show, Weiß and Benioff haveshown that they have good taste in literature but terrible writing abilities. I don't thik anything of substance will come out of them and a topic as sensible as racism is probably way beyond their abilities.

Great news indeed. These types who try to prevent speeches from taking place are a disgrace.
