Interestingly KY did not ratify the 14th until 1976. The confederate states were mostly forced to ratify until enough states had to declare it. This was done by the reconstruction act, martial law, the dissolution of existing state governments and the denying of federal representation until it was ratified. The main sticking point was clearly giving black people full citizenship and the right to vote. How did you come to the fantastical conclusion that the 2nd amendment was a main factor? Did you get this from FOX or Der Sturmer?

I'll leave you to work that out on your own. I still think you are a smart enough man to do so even though I'm a little surprised that you decided you should ask.

They were stopped and ended up arrested. Only one person was killed, it could have been worse. It started with just one shooter, luckily there were more weapons in the crowd to keep things from getting out of hand. Freedom is not free, it is a small price to pay.

He should be posting in the "body count" thread in Bonfire.

I've never seen an online seller that would process the charge before the item was ready to ship. Exceptions I suppose for custom made orders. Caveat emptor suckers. -
How about this diesel powered beauty for trucking? https://planehistoria.com/napier-nomad Napier_Nomad_I_East_fortune_front-1.webp

But what kind of status does Ginni get from that arrangement?

Alright, for the Anglophiles we will use RR. They were better than the Allisons and more practical than the round engines for cars because they are liquid cooled.

From where I sit there is another small bit of good news. I don't have a vote in that election.

Thanks. That's the first time I've been able to watch it here in my home and native land. And now I know that the only good news is that one day the Sun will run out of hydrogen.

Well worth it for the joy and the exciting feeling of owning and playing with powerful machines of death.

Snowflakes melt when the temperature goes up.

Not really much of an option unless you are willing to subscribe. And I can't justify subscribing to every publication that people link to. There is no a la carte option.

They certainly are, but they don't sound cool. Just loud.

Cars that don’t make noise are kinda boring. But then again a good ICE car is pretty quiet these days as well. I’m all for radial engines.

What a time to be alive. At least the dotard qualifies as a Boomer (just barely). Biden is too old and is from the previous generation. You would think the baby boom generation would be in charge by now.

That's easy. Angry frightened people get passionate. The left (actually the center in the USA) is not yet frightened. But the successful attack on reproductive rights is changing that somewhat. What are you doing about the great lie machine?

Ain’t no one surprised.

Ds won pretty decisively in NY tonight.

At this point now that Trump is solidifying his hold on the R party the only thing that can turn the situation around is a true thumping of them in November. If people turn out it could happen.

No, and he never did except for an episode of blocking it out in an area near Crimea for a time.

And today Trump managed to make himself look even less sharp than Biden does. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/10/politics/trump-south-carolina-primary-haley/index.html

There is truth in that. When you get down to it about a third of the people will be voting for Trump. The other 2/3 s can stop him if they can be bothered to. -

The outcome of the election is largely up to the will of the American people. Yes, I know the Electoral College slants in favour of whoever is the R nominee but even so in a semi-democracy the people get the leaders they deserve. If Trump gets in again who is to blame? It is not the media or the corporations. Neither of these vote. The people vote if they are so inclined. It is just freaking mind boggling.
