no offense, but based on what?
Not to speak for the OP but lithium macros looking forward are absolutely amazing for production / near production companies. A significant undersupply is predicted over the next decade.
I think the recent sell off is primarily due to the broader market.

Sounds like Planned Parenthood is about to get $600 million.

To dwell on slavery as the entire issue is fundamentally wrong. The balance of power between the state and federal government was always much deeper than that.
Everyone says this, but no one provides any examples.
quote:
So many issues we have today wouldn’t exist if Washington didn’t get to make decisions that were never meant to them
I agree, but the south really screwed the pooch trying to argue states retained sovereignty and in the same breath that black people weren't entitled to the Bill of Rights because they were not really people.
The south did more damage to the states rights debate with their hypocrisy than any argument before or since.
quote:
Legally that decision was not made until after the CW was over. The Constitution didn’t say states could or could not exit the Union, just as it doesn’t speak to a large number of specific things.
That is a flimsy argument. "States can seceed because its not stated they cant." States willingly yielded a portion of their sovereignty to a federal government when they formed a compact under the constitution. To say they had the right to seceed is to say they had the right to take those powers back whenever they wanted. It is absurd to believe the constitution is such a weak document that it can be abandoned at the whim of a majority of a state, yet strong enough to say it allows States the right to seceed under the law.
quote:
As far as politics goes, what exactly do you mean by politically wrong?
The south was one of the last bastions of slavery in the west. The south had to adopt expansion or it had to admit what it was doing was wrong. The only way they had retained any kind of political power was due to the 3/5ths compromise (which is a bit ironic because the Dred Scott decision said that black people could not even be citizens).
quote:
However, secession and slavery are not the same thing.
Secession happened because of slavery. You can argue its over states rights, but I would ask what was the states rights they were fighting for? The answer, is the states rights to own slaves.
quote:
I didn’t find it to be political at all (just historical) until they got to the electoral college segment.
Thats what makes good propoganda. Establish a base of trust then present the propoganda like it stands on the same foundation as the information before.

So if they succeeded and were not under the Constitution how could Lincoln attack an essentially foreign country to force them back into the Union? They were either part of the Union or not.
The executive is constitutionally allowed to use force to enforce the law and prevent illegal secession. Lincoln is not the only president who believed this.
Look up the nullification crisis in South Carolina and Andrew Jackson's response to it in the 1832 Nullification Proclamation. Jackson, I will remind everyone here, is historically known as a very strong States rights proponent.

Having the fullest confidence in the justness of the legal and constitutional opinion of my duties which has been expressed, I rely with equal confidence on your undivided support in my determination to execute the laws-to preserve the Union by all constitutional means-to arrest, if possible, by moderate but firm measures, the necessity of a recourse to force; and, if it be the will of Heaven that the recurrence of its primeval curse on man for the shedding of a brother's blood should fall upon our land, that it be not called down by any offensive act on the part of the United States.

To sarcastically ask if someone knows history while posting this multiple times is brutal.
Ad hominem attack over grammar where your argument is apparently so fertile that it can defend itself is also laughable. The southern states were wrong morally, politically, and legally in their arguments for secession that it took the Dred Scott decision, to give them the flimsiest of ground to stand on.
Show me where in the constitution that a state is allowed to exempt themselves from the sovereign rights that they agreed to yield to Federal Government? Show me where the founders argued that a state can just take its slaves and go home if it doesnt agree with laws passed by congress.

Under Article IV, Section III of the United States Constitution, “no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.”
Do you know your history?
Virginia suceeded. To leave and demand protection under the constitution is laughable. The people of West Virginia suceeded from Virginia and stayed with United States.

He won in 1864 by creating a new state (Kansas) and splitting up Virginia
I'm pretty sure Kansas became a state in 1861 and West Virginia was an act of congress due to the western part of the state refusing to seceed. I dont know where you people learned history but maybe do a little research on your conspiracy theories.

Violent crimes need high mandatory minimum sentences. No exceptions. Nothing about privilege excuses any of this.

How bad is it leaking? Can you recharge it and be good for 3 years?
Im giving away that Im poor here, but ive never had an AC that didnt leak somewhere. I just have to have them recharged every couple of years.

This tech is through American Home Shield (included with home purchase for a year). He claims AHS will pay $10/lb refrigerant, but actual cost is $65–$75/lb. He says he must recover the existing refrigerant but can’t reuse it due to oil.
If it didn't make money, he wouldnt sell it to you.

I thought oil is part of the refrigerant and wouldn’t expect him to know if refrigerant is contaminated until he recovers it. Thoughts?
Not an AC guy, but did stay at a Holiday Inn last night, that sounds like bullshite. Its a closed system and oil contamination shouldnt effect the condensation, expansion cycle unless it gets too high.

Quite a pile of shite Trump has stepped in. The only way this ends is with the complete destruction of Irans leadership and probably a regime change. If Trump didnt approach it that way from the beginning, it was a huge mistake.
Great post, lots of references, clear description of the incident, sources. Even a Pic. 10/10 on the effort.

Churches are not businesses. Pastors and other paid staff already pay personal income taxes. Most small churches couldn’t afford to keep the lights on if they were not exempt from federal and state taxes. You could easily add a financial burden of 15% to 30% which most churches couldn’t absorb.
Most noninflamitory thing you've ever said and I agree.

Yall are dumb as frick pointing fingers like this. Rubio and JD are great. The mistake here was Trump made a tactical error, the same error that every country who has gone to war in the middle east has made. The middle east factions do not care about anthing but retaining power and they are perfectly fine with a prolonged war in their territory where they can make your life miserable.
Trump thought he could make them want prosperity more than power. He was wrong.
