    I've often wondered why this wasn't done to Confederate leaders (I know, I know, white supremacy).

    Most likely because people had big families, and it would cost another Union soldier for every Second-Try-Confederate they had to hunt down. Andrew Johnson offered amnesty (probably Lincoln would have done the same,) they accepted their pardons and swore oaths of loyalty, then ranged from Acting Right to Being Insanely Violent Dickheads in the following years.

    Jeff Davis did a little time, but never got the trial he wanted so he could weasel out of a wee bit of treason. Feds were probably like "pound sand and eat your prison food, Mr. Imaginary President."

    About those former Confederates who went to Mexico, Brazil, Central America, and who knows where else, I imagine they knew what happened to failed rebellions, and they didn't know that the hang-em-high faction up north wouldn't prevail. Also, there was a fair amount of war-criming depending on when and where they fought. It'd be just their luck to go back to Old Kentucky and run into some guys who Knew What You Did Last Summer.

    …said the non-lawyer/judge.  I recently lost a lost school classmate to pancreatic cancer and my law school Buddy now-employer was just diagnosed with some rare type of lymphatic cancer.  So he caught me at a weak moment wishing cancer on lawyers. I was thinking of them more than my stage three self.

    I totally agree with your assessment about the joke as entirely permissible on Surly - but I feel like you are trying to take away my constitutional right to post stupid while really drunk.

     

    We both know I don't have that power. :) More likely to imitate you than oppose you.

  3. Reporting from Western North Carolina where we are currently visiting family. Googled "coin shops" and they appear to be almost as common as drug stores around here. I'm talking every 5 or 10 miles especially as you get near Asheville. Asheville, while growing, is still far from huge. I suppose it's all the retiree money.

    I doubt I'll have time to explore this trip, and metal is high anyway, but on a future visit I'd definitely be down for a store-to-store crawl. Maybe a lurking Surlster who lives here can take up the banner and pull it off.

    That freedom fries bullshit should have tipped us off that the GOP was about to start its path to insanity.

    I was teaching French at the time. One of my students suggested that we call it "Freedom Language."

    Trump was perfectly happy back in his air-conditioned enclosure playing on his phone.  He wasn't going anywhere near the fray.  First whiff of tear gas and he would have turned on his heels if he even had gotten out of the car.  He had to have the streets cleared of protesters so he could have his picture taken with the Bible.  The scenario you present is indeed terrifying.  But he never had and never will have the balls to put himself in danger of any physical harm or being that close to his ilk when they are all tuned up and shit gets real.  He's not walking in and seizing anything.  He's not willingly going within 200 yards of the Capitol when that shit was going down.

    Plus he wasn't stepping out in the middle of those crazed false-flag antifa. Good try though Libtards.

    Maybe he’ll drift off and choke on his tongue. 

    I'd be happy first with a classic high-school puddle of drool + red forehead print. Somehow caught on camera.

    Tongue choking later on.

    Not just slaves, but slaves that were Christian.  It pisses off some of the Southern Heritage types when you point out that maybe the Civil War was God’s punishment for owning Christian slaves.  

    I enjoy pointing out that the first people Robt E. "I cannot raise my sword against Virginia" Lee attacked were fellow Virginians in the mountains who didn't want to join his fake new country. They put a whoopin on him too.

    first it was jewish space lasers, now its border guarding space lasers, fuck you georgia, fuck you straight to hell

    She is trying to start the prophesied End Times war between Israel and Mexico.  See the Biblical Prophet Billy-Bob speaking of the Jew-Messican war in the Book of Hurr-Durr, a canonical Cowboy Church chapter following Revelation that somehow missed Nicaea. 

    This is 4D Chess-- which way will the Crypto-Jews of Monterrey break? For in my research (sitting in bars) if you talk to a person from Monterrey for more than 5 minutes, they will reveal their Crypto-Jewish roots. Which kind of defeats the entire point of being crypto if you're yapping to random gringos about it. But I guess nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

  10. Back in the 90s my girlfriend inherited what must have been a 100oz brick of silver. At the time I thought silver was the dumbest thing you could buy, and I am sure I said so. (Meanwhile, I used my $ to drink the Crown and Anchor dry.)

    She was nervous about how to store it. I convinced her to wrap it in fabric and use it as a doorstop.

    I hope she still had it when silver hit 45/oz.

    Ultimately, every "libertarian" is a conservative who leans fascist.  It's the most confounding thing, but we see it here all the time.

    We will need to see your permit to say that.

    True. What I wonder though is is anyone still on the fence about this fucking guy? By this point how come your mind not be made up?
