My avatar had nothing to do with slavery. It has to do with rebelling against an over controlling central government. The President is a fink. |

I keep forgetting how hated Lincoln was, hated by everybody in DC. "As to the politics of Washington, the most striking thing is the absence of personal loyalty to the President. It does not exist. He has no admirers, no enthusiastic supporters, none to bet on his head. If a Republican convention were to be held to-morrow, he would not get the vote of a single State." The press reviled him and thought he was an imbecile. His own party hated him because he was a political outsider. He only got nominated for a 2nd term because the way they did it was different then. He was spit on by the press every day he was in office. Sound familiar? Yet he is regarded inarguably as the greatest president we ever had. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Sure whatever. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I believe some southern states would not even put him in the ballot. Remind you of California? May you live in interesting times! The President is a fink. |

It only took 3 months into Lincoln's 2nd term till he was killed. But by then the decisions made by him was ending the war, and he died a hero. He was hated every bit of what Trump is, for no reason other than he was an outsider who won because shitheels were running against him. He was the monkey wrench in the works, just like Trump. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18762 | Yes, I agree Trump does have one thing in common with anyone who is hated. That's about all he has in common with Lincoln. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Trump has one thing Lincoln didn't have, a huge base supporting him. Lincoln was elected because 4 different parties had candidates, he only got 37% of the vote. In 1864 he finagled his nomination and would have lost had not Atlanta fallen in Sept of 64. He was an overnight hero and still barely won. He never had the base of support Trump has. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | The orig commercial has twice as many dislikes as likes on Utube. 350000 comments! Many of them are hilarious. I was right, the commercial was written by and directed by a feminist. She violated Don Drapers first rule of advertising. Never ever ever shame or belittle the people you're trying to attract. This ad has done huge damage to the Gillette brand, men are boycotting because they're really pissed. This parody of the Gillette commercial is hilarious. I had to watch it twice to catch all the references. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I canceled my Gillette subscription service (they automatically send you a package of new blades once a month/3 months/6 months In the "reason for canceling" section, I wrote that if they thought men were toxic then surely they no longer wanted my toxic money |
