America is a violent and brutal nation. Always has been. Most of our founding fathers literally owned other humans, and were not unfamiliar with killing. Aaron Burr was the sitting Vice President when he killed Alexander Hamilton. Andrew Jackson liked nothing more than to step outside, and had killed a man in a duel before he became our 7th President. He then went on to ignore the Supreme Court and instigate something that we still refer to, not inaccurately, as "The Trail of Tears." Preston Brooks' constituents re-elected him after he beat Senator Charles Sumner unconscious with a cane, leaving wounds that required three years of recuperation. (He was aided and abetted by Laurence Keitt, who brandished a pistol in the Senate chambers to keep onlookers from coming to Sumner's aid, and Henry Edmundson, who had previously been arrested by the Sergeant at Arms for assaulting another Senator.)

We might try to he better than our bloody legacy, but it is always there, below the surface.

Preston Brooks later challenged another congressman to a duel but backed out like the bitch he was when his opponent enthusiastically accepted and showed every sign that he was planning to kill him dead.

What's your point? You go back 80ish years in Japanese politics and they were beheading captured American soldiers. I don't see them returning to that. 50 years ago people were marching for equal rights in the south. Around the same time a sitting president decided to rescind the presidency rather than face impeachment.

If you have to reach back over a century to draw parallels to today, it might be because the actions of the present are indefnisble

Edit: Cain killed Abel, and maybe we'll never get past that as a society? Who can say....

This is a bigger thing than it looks.

Its a double digit erosion in a heavily rural area full of uneducated poor whites. Which is Trump's base. Also, something like 60-65% of the votes were done by mail ahead of the incident.

It'll be similar margins. GOP is throwing a lot of money at advertising trying to convince people that some how being Californian in a city where most everyone is from some where else and will probably be somewhere else in 5 years is a bad thing.

To be fair though, Montana has a surprisingly democratic leaning government, its kind of like all that outside Dem cash flowing into GA for the 6th district in order to flip it.

I would think Montana would be hardcore right leaning at the local level but a lot of the loonies in the boonies don't vote, but the folks in what passes for cities in Montana do vote and they swing Democratic.

While I'm looking at election statistics for the last 50 or so years, how in the gently caress can you be so uncharismatic that you lose to loving second term Reagan like Walter Mondale? Dude only won DC, and barely won Minnesota because he was a Senator from there so they were probably pulling for him.

E: Ah so he just straight up came out and said up front "I will raise everyone's taxes, and cut the deficit" yeah people don't like to hear actual fiscal responsibility from their presidential candidates.

And now for something completely different

quote:

It's Time to Get Rid of Donald Trump

Donald Trump has transformed the United States into a laughing stock and he is a danger to the world. He must be removed from the White House before things get even worse.

Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States. He does not possess the requisite intellect and does not understand the significance of the office he holds nor the tasks associated with it. He doesn't read. He doesn't bother to peruse important files and intelligence reports and knows little about the issues that he has identified as his priorities. His decisions are capricious and they are delivered in the form of tyrannical decrees.

He is a man free of morals. As has been demonstrated hundreds of times, he is a liar, a racist and a cheat. I feel ashamed to use these words, as sharp and loud as they are. But if they apply to anyone, they apply to Trump. And one of the media's tasks is to continue telling things as they are: Trump has to be removed from the White House. Quickly. He is a danger to the world.

You guys gotta see it: Clooney is playing a very funny Stanley McChrystal, and the rest of the people you can figure out who they are. This movie is loving incredible so far. Again just 10 minutes in.

48% isn't bad. The problem is it's ten points too high.
