I watched a series of interviews of Japanese-on-the-street regarding the assassination attempt, and almost universally, they were very positive towards Trump...which did not surprise me.
I like the Japanese, even if have yet to fully come to grips with what they did in WWII.
Such a paradoxical race to me. But I admire them.
I need to see some documentation on that.
I’ve researched the U.S. Civil War and antebellump period for 50 years and haven’t seen any support for that cla\sim.
I hope history was not your major
Yes, the Three-Fifths Compromise, reached at the 1787 Constitutional Convention, counted enslaved Black people as 3/5 of a person when determining a state’s population for taxation and representation in the House of Representatives. The compromise was an agreement between Northern and Southern delegates. Southern states wanted to count all enslaved people to determine their representation in Congress, while Northern states argued that if enslaved people were counted for representation, they should also be counted for taxes. The compromise stated that for every five slaves in a state, three would be included in the population census.
No kidding.
I merely wanted to point out that your statements against Trump were directly opposed to objective reality.
If you were mentally retarded, I wouldn’t bother bringing it to your attention.
