Trump: General Robert E. Lee was a great general

@Jezcoe

Now who wants to argue that they can declare themselves individually a sovereign from the Union and then go and try to take over federal property?

Ooh! Ooh!

We know you have no regard for the Constitution. That does not make it meaningless. Sorry.

Saying that a State has no right to unilaterally secede is upholding the constitution that forms the Union.

So… who is against the Constitution?

You.
You’re substituting your own ignorance of the constitution for what the constitution actually says.

Well… not really.

I posited before that if the tenth amendment gives States the right to unilaterally remove themselves from the Union then it also gives “the people” or any individual the right to declare themselves sovereign from any government and not subject to them.

We call those people kooks.

Lee was a traitor.

stop trying to change history, lee was a honest man who did what he though was right and committed treason.

No, he wasn’t. He renounced his citizenship.

[WuWei]

@CanadianJudo

They renounced their citizenship in a court of law before a Judge?

Good Lord.

You can still hear that ridiculous assertion that Trump thinks there are good Nazis on major cable shows, to this day, by reporters and commentators who should know better.

It is almost never refuted, too, but on Thursday night it was, and very well, by Raymond Arroyo, who was filling in for Laura Ingraham.

He showed the President in video and what he actually said, making Joe Biden look like a fool for attacking the President on Charlottesville in his “I’m running” speech.

The President failed the easiest test of his office… unequivocally denouncing NAZIs.

Now what we have are people trying to convince others that the President didn’t fail this test.

This is America.

Maybe even sedition.

He left and joined a different country. Calm down.

They aren’t real Nazis.

What? George Washington?
I mean, supposedly being Canadian and all…

@CanadianJudo

Are you going for BFF status? I don’t do that anymore.

[CanadianJudo]

Washington would have been hung if he was captured.

[WuWei]

@Cynic

Lee sucked. Lee lost. People that idolize him do so for what he fought for.

Great post. 5 hearts.

[CanadianJudo]

no one recognized the Confederate as a country, but as states in rebellion.

Sounds like treason to me.

Lee was caught. Was he hung?

Sounds familiar.

[CanadianJudo]

Ya the only difference is Washington won making the British recognize him.

Move the needle, not the goalposts.
