    The question I have is why is that even a question for a 2024 presidential candidate? Why not ask what caused the Mexican-American War or the Great Depression? We know, and who gives a shit?
    I'd ask a candidate: What are you prepared to do to keep a literal shit-stained, semi-literate, felon along with his Bible-thumping, racist, uneducated cult members from tearing apart the country a second time?

    Because we’ve fallen into a deep pile of shit as a country where one of the two viable political parties is banking heavily on soothing the feelings of pissy, fragile white reactionaries. If we were in a healthier place, either the question would have never been asked or it would have landed with a thud as everyone treated the questioner as a moron and/or gadfly. Imagine trying to trip up the committee that awards Nobel prizes in chemistry by asking which elements make up water.

    But somehow making this 1-foot putt was too much of an ask for the alleged “sensible” Republican.

    Ms. Haley has spent a great deal of time (and some trouble) tangled up in South Carolina, Confederate and Civil War history.

    Seems reasonable to question the evolution of her thinking on the matter.

    I realize what an idiot I am when I try to argue with anyone who has a pro-Trump bent. I beat my head off a wall for 30 seconds usually once every six to eight weeks trying to reason with such meatheads. Unlike SP, I will not provide you with a transcript of the conversation. Back into my pro-democracy cave I go.

    One of the 20th century physics biggies on his wife leaving him ... "Had she taken a bullfighter, I would have understood. But a chemist ..."

    We now resume our regular programming.

    when in doubt use the otter defense

    But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

    Are the Republicans not the Party of Lincoln? (blue font optional)

    Yet, his followers scream to high heaven when he's cut out of the Canadian TV version of the movie.

    Just saw the original clip in full on CNN. It appears she is so tied into her "government bad" routine she's unable to think on her feet. And the walkback is just as bad.

    That phrase (but not that spelling) was trending on Elon’s site today as right wingers rushed to Haley’s defense.

    The young girl in the front row, who turns to her friend and clearly mouths "slavery," is more qualified than Nikki to be president.
