History of US votes.  Standout moments include FDR era of solid blue; Bright flash of red for Ike; Blue for Kennedy and then The South rejects blue at the end of Lyndon B. Johnson and the Civil Rights Act; Dark red west-centeral & light blue north-east for Reagan showing that even though history books typically display a map of all red save for blue MN the truth is a bit more complicated than that.

I don’t know, maybe Germany or Japan?

I know we don’t agree politically on much and usually that doesn’t bother me but HOLY FUCKING HELL; to suggest that Germany or Japan or Afghanistan occupations by US forces are anything at all a like is to take history 101; light it on fire and flush the burning ash down a toilet.  

Germany and Japan were fully recognized countries that were so god damn legitimate and powerful that they were able to take control of other countries by asking nicely; and when that failed - international war.

Afghanistan has NEVER launched a foreign invasion; ever.

Are you honestly suggesting that Afghanistan under the pre2001 Taliban was a full strength - legitimately-lead country as recognized by a foreign power that wasn’t an Arab-Middleeastern-Sharia-law-based country?

Because I don’t want to be mean here but if that’s the case that’s just about the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever fucking read on the entire fucking internet.

give it a minute…

yup - no climate change because there’s no astrological proof.

I wish Obama was as far left as the right thinks he is; real socialized healthcare would be awesome.

Are you a bad enough dude to recognize satire when you see it?

American freedoms in 2001 were very different than American freedoms now.
