Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

I wonder how him and Wodrow Willson and Ulysses S Grand would get along

Let's just put him in a locked room with William T. Sherman for 12 hours. Actually no, make it 6, Sherman won't need that long.

Sherman looked like someone who would wrestle bears for fun.

More distraction, and more evidence that Trump is, and always has been, a racist cunt.

Man who wants you all to forget the past, except the idealized one he wants to return you all to somehow (that never really existed in the first place), also wants you to forget the past as it is and wants you to the remember the past as they'd like to pretend it to be. More at 5. Back to you Ron.
