I freed the exact same number of slaves that you did. The difference is we (republicans from the north) had to come down here and force YA'LL (democrats from the south) to do itThen why did you republicans fight so hard against their civil rights?
SoWal Insider
No its because pine straw is literally trashLong leaf?
The north is full of pines
If they aren’t ignorant you should tell them about trashed copper, aluminum and other metals.

FACT CHECK: ‘More Republicans Voted For The Civil Rights Act As A Percentage Than Democrats’
‘By the way, they did’checkyourfact.com
“In fact, 90% of members of Congress from states (or territories) that were part of the Union voted in favor of the act, while less than 10% of members of Congress from the old Confederate states voted for it. This 80pt difference between regions is far greater than the 15pt difference between parties.
But what happens when we control for both party affiliation and region? As Sean Trende noted earlier this year, "sometimes relationships become apparent only after you control for other factors".

In this case, it becomes clear that Democrats in the north and the south were more likely to vote for the bill than Republicans in the north and south respectively. This difference in both houses is statistically significant with over 95% confidence. It just so happened southerners made up a larger percentage of the Democratic than Republican caucus, which created the initial impression than Republicans were more in favor of the act.”

Harry J Enten: Once you control for region, it turns out that Democrats were actually more likely to support the 1964 Civil Rights Act

No its because pine straw is literally trashI keep trying to tell you when you don't know what you are talking about it is better to stay in your lane. I did not ask you why you build cheap houses (your words). If you want to be educated on the Pine Straw Industry then I am a pretty good source since I have been in the business since 1972 except for about 6 years. Down here in the South we are willing to work two jobs and I had two locations for my family business until I got too old. Growing up on a farm teaches you respect something that is missing up there I reckon. The North does NOT have planted long leaf pine tree farms by the way. Pine straw is a renewable resource, it is organic, prevents erosion and controls weeds. Up north they use tree bark and wood mulch both of which means the tree has to be removed from mother nature. I would not doubt if they use plastic, rubber and other harmful products because well it's the north

I'm messing with you
Seriously though up north pine straw is trash
If you have 2 locations for the same company you consider that 2 jobs?
Beach Fanatic
Nope. I had a 44-48 hour per week job and two locations for my family business which was 150 miles apart. My son and daughters worked for me in high school and while in college. They all have good jobs now and they are very appreciative of our help and encouragement.
I could care less about what the north thinks of pine straw

Is there a "Number" a legitimate proven number that says there was fraud in the election that would prove the winner lost and the loser won? Up to this point I won't deny fraud and intrigue took place, but not to the extent it would change the outcome..

Is there a "Number" a legitimate proven number that says there was fraud in the election that would prove the winner lost and the loser won? Up to this point I won't deny fraud and intrigue took place, but not to the extent it would change the outcome..Donald Trump's actions after a fair election (that's what we do in America) was fraud. He lost to an Old Man who kicked his butt and he could not handle the truth. Joe Biden is still kicking his butt in terms of getting things done. The old man stands up to all the division created by the extremes on both sides and does the right thing for Americans. He is not perfect and he is old but still very capable of representing middle class and lower class Americans who are the majority. If he does not beat Trump in 2024 it will not because he is not representing the majority of Americans but rather because his opponents are using culture wars to create fear, anger and division. Joe Biden's cabinet and advisers compared to Trump's are not a bunch of crooks. Election fraud is a non issue and every county in this great Country has Election supervisors whose only job is fair elections. The only reason why this is an issue is because of a man whose integrity is zero and others who aspire to have unlimited power.

Well thank you! It is nice to hear a compliment for a change. I tell people every day to relax on the politics a little but most will not listen. There is no good reason to let politics be so divisive on either side.What I've observed is that people get wound a little tighter every day. It's manifesting itself in many different ways. People who can't handle the pressure often become delusional, some to the point of dangerous.
