Ignore the fact that after 1776 people tried to make George Washington King and the only reason we didn't have a king now is because Washington turned it down in favor of a huge portion of the gdp.

People really need to abandon the mythology that the founding fathers were incredible thinkers with profound morals compasses when most were drunken criminals with some good ideas in-between objectively horrible ones.

That's bootstrap bullshit dude, you'd have a point if you didn't outright say anyone who isn't rich isn't trying.

He means they chose identity politics of worker protections and unions. You buy votes and pandering to business was the wrong purchase. Trump may be a liar but he chose the right lie and sold his base a fallacy but one they can get behind and are unfortunately not educated well enough to know it's a improbablity to the point of near impossibility.

Though in this case he might actually be able to do it, though it will mean causing a world war to destroy every other major countries industrial base and choosing the right time to sue for terms.

Yes rocks are more sharp on planets or moons with no or very little atmosphere because erosion by wind/rain forces is reduced.

As an aside how was the fact he used to fight bears for fun not in a school book? You want engagement tell them Abraham Lincoln used to drop haymakers on bears for fun.

I mean Hitler made a similar speech announcing the night of the long knives.

If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not resort to the regular courts of justice, then all I can say is this. In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and thereby I became the supreme judge of the German people. I gave the order to shoot the ringleaders in this treason, and I further gave the order to cauterise down to the raw flesh the ulcers of this poisoning of the wells in our domestic life. Let the nation know that its existence – which depends on its internal order and security – cannot be threatened with impunity by anyone! And let it be known for all time to come that if anyone raises his hand to strike the State, then certain death is his lot.

Before the EPA the Cuyahoga River was at times more fire than water.
