I used to like to discuss alternative history with my friends such as what would it be like if the industrial revolution and the U.S. Civil war swapped places. Would the south, which now has machines that can do the work of a hundred slaves want to keep them? Would the north who needed cheap labor for their factories take them on? For us, it was hypothetical. For politicians and the media, well, they don’t seem to be able to tell the difference between “real” and “make believe.”

Whenever Con-way gets caught in a lie, she goes into a robot mode; “Hillary lost, (the rump won), get over it.”

I failed the geography portion because I thought there were 57 states.

HA! The “conservatives” have no answer for this! Only their usual insults based on lies to hide the fact that they are WRONG and they know it!

One little mistake, and everyone is on your case.

DeVos will make sure our students are at least this misinformed. Have to dumb down America so they will keep voting Republican.
