It’s no accident that our states are called such, as opposed to “provinces” like in Canada or other similar terms. “State” typically means “nation” (or sometimes the government as opposed to the people).

...The Union winning the Civil War resulted in a much more powerful feral government at the expense of the states.

It was the beginning of a more perfect Nation. Slavery is evil and the belief that blacks were subhumans also needed to be expunged. The pendulum has swung too far left and now the equal protection under the law admendent is not only obsolete, it is being used by the enemies of liberty to destroy liberty. The 14th admendent needs to be repealed.

It’s stupid and absurd but more, it underscores how the media have no interest in doing their actual job. How does a question like that contribute to reporting news?

That is the best question the reporter can think of.

I wish she would have just answered,
“That’s absurd. Are you really a reporter or did you just slip past security & come in. A real question now, please.”

democrats win anything?

Of course. The Republican Lincoln saved the Union from the Democrat secessionist Davis.

“What happened to the rules?”

Simple. Nothing. The rules are ALWAYS different for Democrats. Every issue, every belief. Every action. Every response. Everything. How did you miss that?

No silly, 'the rules' when you post a thread about a gorgeous conservative woman, you MUST post a pic too.

Those 'rules'.

“They kept repeating different versions of the same stupid question and she kept her cool.

I couldn’t.”

Personally I would have put my foot down and stated that the next boneheaded question ends this press conference, and the person asking such a question gets kicked out permanently.

98% of those retards hate her, and hate the President even more, and it should be argued that they are a clear and present danger to the safety of the President.

Kayleigh did just fine. It wasn't the time or place to try and explain the concept of our nation's founding - consent of the governed.

Or to explain Lincoln's pretext for war using the U.S. Navy in the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

I meant to say the Fort Sumter incident.

Ask the bastards if they support democrats. Then tell them that the campaign slogan for the democrats in 1868 was

Its a white mans country: Let the white man rule.

Only after that war was over did the damage happen.

The south had the chance to quit and Lincoln even met with the peace commissioners. He would have given them a blank sheet to write their demands down as LONG, as they agreed to rejoin the union and do away with slavery.

And yet, we have a president who is practicing pure federalism now and he is getting steamrolled for it.

WTF?

BTW, What did Davis say about a state splitting when some in the state of WI wanted to split?

He said that succession should be met with force.

Possible reply: “His only regret on the Union winning the Civil War is that the Democrat Party survived to continue the struggle to continue the enslavement of Blacks by other means.”

They’re also still upset that The Union won The Civil War.
