Why did this “racist” twist arms in Congress so hard to get the Civil Rights Act passed? If he was such a racist he would have let things be, but he did the right thing even though he correctly predicted it would cost Democrats the South for generations. ---

You’ll want to learn to indicate your irony a little more clearly, otherwise you run the risk of never being taken seriously. ---

> [@Bruiser1036](#): > > There is a [very thoughtful and interesting article](https://www.yahoo.com/news/soon-miss-george-w-bush-not-age-trump-090020001.html) on the newfound liberal romanticizing and respect for George W.

Earlier this year, Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said she “never thought I would pray for the day that [George W. Bush] were president again.” > > What are your thoughts on all the left-wing hosannas that we have been seeing for Dubya recently? Let me know when Trump starts a war that results in hundreds of thousands of deaths. Trump is mostly offensive and embarrassing, his death toll is probably only in the hundreds. ---

Well, they haven’t passed the AHCA yet. That’ll added a few tens of thousands a year to the tally.
