^^^^^^^ Trump bad.

The times legitimately used to match world events for decades, now year to year the number changes what it even tracks and its just always at a very low number of minutes way higher than most of the entire Cold War and just rising till they ran out of numbers and went to fractions.  You suck! My sentences go where they want to!Here is a visual example of one.

They memed Home Depot patio torches into a hate symbol.

The way Ken Burns documentary and history courses I took made it sound the Union just went through terrible general after terrible general before getting to Grant who was simply willing to actually pursue and eliminate Lee's army. It sounds like had they not just kind of sat there and let him retreat at a few key battles (specifically Antietam) they could have ended the war within a year which is how long they had really expected it to last. I remember hearing what Lee was infamous for is having almost no apparent moral hangup over sending men into battle to die for strategically insignificant gains but gains nonetheless. I think Lee was a competent general but I do wonder how things would turn out in some alternate history where he gets Grant first thing instead of McClellan who's claim to infamy was always fighting like he was vastly outnumbered when in fact his armies vastly outnumbered the opposing army.

The ironic thing is that in the general consciousness Paterno and Sandusky merged together, so your average joe on the street probably things that JoePa molested the kids himself-- thus negating the reputation he desperately tried to preserve in life by covering up the sexual assault of others. That's probably not the right use of ironic. Oh well.

College sports is the Scientology of American Capitalism. 99.x% of the ~student athletes~ are chewed up and spat out with a substandard 'certificate' claiming they completed a questionably-worthwhile social rite of passage for the enjoyment of people who are at a higher 'operating level' than them. And the less than 1% who 'make it' won't ever shut up about the 'opportunity' their alma mater afforded them, ensuring that an entire ethnically-unbalanced group of mostly young men continue to work toward trying to get that camel through the eye of the proverbial needle.

Only if the context that they were holding torches chanting white supremacist slogans while surrounding a statue of the Confederate President somehow negates it for you. They're Nazis. They're incapable of subtlety. Edit: oh it's Lee not Davis. Same treason anyway.

And while this filth marches in the streets against UVA once again, surprisingly nothing happens to good old Liberty University where these freaks probably go to school. I'm almost willing to bet all of the nazi attendees are from Lynchburg or Bedford County if I also didn't think the local supermarket baggers and janitors of charlottesville got out their tiki torches to try and frighten people with an actual future and pretend they aren't goddamn trailer-park wastes of life.
