To those who think the civil war was over slavery, there were slaves in the united states nearly a hundred years before the civil war (and long before the US was a country on American land), yet no president lifted a finger to help them (many of the earliest presidents were slaveowners, of course they weren't lifting fingers to help). Lincoln issued the emancipation of slaves entirely for political/PR reasons, to gain public support for his cause (reunification of the country) from as many people as he could in the North and South. The North wanted to regain control of resources south of the Mason Dixon, which proved problematic with the Southern States seceded. A lot led up to the Civil War.
The American Civil War wasn't fought over slaves, as good as it would sound to hear about the North saving the slaves from Southern tyranny. A kid's history book nearly makes Lincoln a saint.

The kind of a$$hole who takes everything as a joke. This is the guy the prison system and mental health care facilities don't want lurking around because they tend to turn everybody else into a nutcase and ruin any progress the people who are seriously trying to get better are busy making. Get rid of an a$$hole like this if you know one.

The police officer tackled a 10 year old for not respecting his policy and getting too close to the swings at the park. He threatened to use an even heavier hand on the next kid that tried to play basketball. He locked up 2 nine year olds and a seven year old later that evening for playing baseball in the park after dark.

An election between one candidate who has spent most of his entire life compromising, and the other who has spent most of his entire life trying to force other people to compromise.

Someone who wants to get to the bottom of a mystery until they do and it's longer a mystery is bullshit.
The engineer invented a crystal ball machine that got to the bottom of a mystery, and still ended up destroying it because some people couldn't really handle the mystery they thought they wanted to get to the bottom of. Bullshit people are the most cynical people in the world, which is why they always want to hear positive bullshit and convince themselves that they are full of boundless optimism, when really they're just full of shit.

When you're aware that a post/meme is not about you, because it's not really about anybody in particular, it's just somebody looking to fuck with somebody's head on social media, you know everything that comes from the source is fiction, its bullshit. It's somebody saying everything they want to say to somebody they know in real life, in the form of talking to/about nobody in particular/directly, which is about as chicken shit as you get. The same kind of chicken shit tries to write everything they really want to say to somebody (in real life) down for show in the form of a script or a note so the other person will laugh when they hear it instead of calling it what it is, chicken shit.

The girl who starts changing the rules she made as she went when she finds out they never worked in the first place.
