Come live in the south. There are people here that LITERALLY still think the war is still ongoing. They treat every fucking symbol of the confederacy like it’s holy scripture. They still believe it was >right< and >moral< to be on the side that lost. So yes. In this case, yes. There doesn’t seem to be any other way to

Nope. They were traitors and many of those who were poor and did not support the south fled north if they could.. Those who remained did indeed support the cause of slavery.

High school?

Took a while but goddamn that payoff was worth it +1

I guess all I’m trying to say is that if the Confederacy didn’t want to be called a bunch of losers they shouldn’t have lost

Are you aware that one side actually lost that war and the other side won?

I mean, they were traitors to the United States. I’m not sure there’s any way around that, regardless of the reason people signed up to fight on the Confederate side...

Because in this case, the losers still think the war is going on. They need to be reminded periodically.

In the battle for free human life, I think cheering the “winners” and mocking the “losers” and their motivation will always be an OK thing.

You don’t get why in this case it’s entirely appropriate?

Richard Spencer is already stretched enough as it is between his work spreading propaganda, that Nazi treasure trove in Argentina, and now this. The city of Orlando should just set fire to the damn thing and be done with it.

I’m pretty sure that jobs working for the federal, state or local government, be it as a teacher, law enforcement, or food or water inspector, are jobs, yes. But coal mining is not a production job exactly, given that coal companies mine public lands paying less than fair market value for the coal they take. It’s a

Future Trump quote: “Nobody knew that the environment could be so complicated.”

Yeah, the government is too big. Also, have fun lighting your tap water on fire in a few years!

So they’ve set aside $10k in compensation for each job they want to eliminate by the end of the summer? That’s about a month’s worth of pretax income for most white collar federal employees who are retirement eligible. I’m sure you’ll have a few people take that offer who are in the process of retirement anyway (free

I expect at some point they’ll float the idea of merging the EPA and DoE, in much the same way that FEMA was merged into DHS and substantially neutered.

My only solace is that Scott Pruitt is no longer inhumanely murdering inmates here in Oklahoma. It’s not much relief.

Why is he still a thing? He’s been useless and toxic for years.

The only thing Steve Harvey is good for is making me miss Bernie Mac.

I wonder how many of these racist “Trekkies” have flashed this sign not knowing it’s true origins as a Jewish blessing gesture:
