I don't know if I want to hear it or not lol

Sorry for the late reply, but fuck Andrew Jackson. Basically the Adolf Hitler of American history and I got suspended from school several times for refusing to consider a Tennessee hero or even praise him.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Jackson’s treatment of the American Indians alone disqualifies him from hero status.

Not to mention his flagrant disregard for the Supreme Court ruling against him.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

He was an unconstitutional tyrant.

Yeah, all my homies hate Andrew Jackson.

Which means @Charlie and @Hayterade are my homies.

But yeah, Jackson alongside Andrew Johnson and another person who shall not be mentioned are probably in my top 3 for Worst Presidents of All Time.

While I'm at it, my opinion of Thomas Jefferson has really soured the last few years too.

Ah, Johnson another "hero" of Tennessee, who was nothing but fucking scum

It's not self defense when the attacker is out and you keep strangling him for 15 minutes, even as an amatuer grappling practitioner I know that when your attacker goes limp, you let go and find other ways to subdue them.

This shit was murder....no matter how fucked up the other guy was acting.

 

[Alexa]

Then why put him in a Blood Choke and not a Wind Choke would be my question.

nice nugget of a post I thought I would share

Without the Bush and Trump tax cuts, debt as a percentage of the economy would be declining permanently.

https://www.americanprogress.org/ar...ly-responsible-for-the-increasing-debt-ratio/

Nearly 60% of that debt — $16 trillion — piled up while one Republican or another occupied the White House in the last five decades.

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/pol...ore-red-ink-than-biden-so-far/?outputType=amp

…when Republicans were last in control of Congress and the White House, “Though Trump ran in 2016 bragging about being "the king of debt" and promised to wipe out the national debt, he's veered in the opposite direction. He racked up $4.1 trillion in debt as of 2019— including the 2017 tax cuts pushed through a Republican-controlled Congress that's projected to cost $1.9 trillion over the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
In 2019, furthermore, the two-year budget deal President Donald Trump signed into law raises spending by $320 billion over existing spending caps set in a 2011 law, with significant boosts in both military and domestic spending. The bill pushed the budget deficit to over $1 trillion that year for only the second time ever following the Great Recession, and added $1.7 trillion to the federal debt over a decade.

I wish the general voting population could better understand that Republicans are complete full of shit when it comes to fiscal and monetary policies.
