@izzythepush,
The corruption of the Democrats has made at least partial agreement between usually opposed people, for sure.

And I have to say that if I had been president--attacked in a very serious way like the Japanese attack on the US at Pearl Harbor, killing 2500 Americans in a sneak attack -- and I had this horrible weapon that could save my country's freedom-- and I TOLD the country what I had and that I'd use it -- and they refused to stop trying to conquest my country and my people -- would you expect we'd continue to be killed? We'd give up our country and become subject to an aggressor? We'd hold up our hands and hand over the keys?

It's very easy, Mr British Empire, to judge us now.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrible.

And I say to you, if you'd been responsible for this country is that moment, you'd have done the same. So easy in retrospect to see the horror and to say you'd never do it.

We dropped letters of warning. They attacked.

It was war. Not sought by America.

And, knowing every self-righteous thing you might say-- and every small wisp of distraction you'll try to use to blame the US--I'll be honest and say I'd have done the same. We didn't seek that war.

Maybe you should be outraged.
And ignore me.
I'll consign myself to the punishment--and isolate from you. Sad, sad.

I would never have surrendered my country. For nothing.

Talk about Vichy France if you have the nerve.

U.S. accounts for 30% of worldwide coronavirus cases.

U.S. accounts for 19% of worldwide deaths.

We compose just 4% of the world population.

@Lash,
You can’t help yourself. I’ve got **** all to do with the British Empire, but you knowingly voted for a war criminal responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

You’re the one with the imperial mindset little miss KKK.

@Lash,
You quoted Truman saying he’d never inflicted Hell, the same Truman who dropped the A bomb twice.

The whys and wherefore aren’t important, nuclear devastation is Hell.

I wasn’t judging you, just pointing out that you’d gone for a lousy quotation chock full of inconsistencies.

@izzythepush,
Yeah, that's me. Devoted to a little brown and black school in the dirty south, fighting against all odds including my principal, for their little asses.

I'm such a Miss KKK. LOL. Say what you need to say to make yourself feel like a man.

I merely responded in kind.

You voted for a war criminal who killed hundreds of thousands of brown people.

@izzythepush,
The whys and wherefores are everything.

For fun?
For conquest?
To save your county?

I didn’t.

I voted for the man who resigned from cabinet in protest before the war.

@Lash,
Let me spell it out in basic terms.

Truman claims never to have given people Hell.

Truman is the only person ever to have used nuclear weapons in anger.

Nuclear devastation is Hell.

Your quotation is bolocks.

The fact that you’re continuing to argue the toss even now is quite shocking.

You’re supposed to be a teacher, I shouldn’t have to spell **** like this out to you.

I never voted for war criminals.

I never voted Tory.

You make one hell of a song and dance about your job.

You’re like one of those Radio 1 DJs who does a lot of work for charity but doesn’t like to talk about it.

Someone with a more cynical frame of mind might think it was the only job you could get, and far from helping those kids you’re conditioning them to conform and do what the rich man says.

@izzythepush,
Since I risk my job teaching and analyzing old and contemporary brown and black American voices, I won't even entertain that hopeful--but desperate--fantasy.

I never accused you of acting like a hero for trans people to cover for trans-phobia. But, if I were like you, I definitely could.

Do you want to go there?

Or do you want to just be you and allow me to be me? Up to you.
