  • Maybe I’m just an idiot, but maybe somebody could explain to me why Trump is taking the lead on negotiating peace between two different countries without BOTH being invited.

    In a historical context, this would be like Cuba forcing America to make peace with Japan after Pearl Harbor…. 

    And I understand that there is a European Union thing going on here too, and a NATO thing … but Trump hasn’t invited the European Union or NATO to sit in on these peace talks, has he?







  • This was a popular thing when I was young, and yes there was a debate over what state laws/federal laws wanted, but Kansas has a very interesting history - were runaway slaves left Missouri and headed into Lawrence and people of Missouri took the law into their own hands to hunt down fugitive- runaway slaves, sometimes because they just wanted the bounty or the reward.

    In one incident, the sheriff from a city in Missouri was shot at and as a response people from Missouri Road into Lawrence and burnt down most of the big buildings and killed a couple of people and stole several horses. This was known as the border war and it occurred far before 1861. It was all about racism, hatred, and money, and it had absolutely nothing to do with state rights
