1. yes. 620,000 died in the civil war.

Hopefully we wont get there with covid but Trump almost did..

2. Technically true, but...

...it only takes a quick glance at the pickup trucks adorned with the "Stars and Bars" to know that the Confederacy still lives under the surface now, more than a hundred and fifty years later. Hopefully, we won't see the same of Trumpism.

3. The aftertaste remains...

4. Next up: midterm elections nastiness

GOP is going to try to retain their control where they can.

6. Back to their vicarious victories in college football.

Watching unpaid black men working in a field.

7. I wouldn't call that working.

I've talked to some people who have picked cotton, and it doesn't sound a bit like playing a football game.

8. Yep, all this 150-year whoop-de-doo over four years of failed traitors rebelling against...

their own country—stars and bars flag-waving, rebel generals on horseback statues in town squares, plantation restoration tours, battle re-enactments and all— and four l-o-o-o-o-o-o-n-g years of a failed traitor's presidential imposter act.

All way too much reverence about such short-term sore losers.

9. K&R, ... and with subjugation of non whites at the center of their existence
