heywood - I'm not taking about just race relations. I'm talking about the entire system there. We can talk about the age of the nation another time, but I disagree with you.
Re: bloodiest civil war - ha ha ha ha the Taiping Rebellion laughs in the face of your "bloodiest in human history at the time". It overlapped the American civil war in time and had at least 10 million dead. Another Americo-centric view I'm afraid. I bet they do teach that in history class though. America number one!

Lord Dampnut's personal lawyer Bill Barr now claims that he didn't give a direct order to have the protesters outside the White House beaten, he merely happened to sigh loudly and say in a particularly wistful tone: "Will no one rid me of these troublesome protesters?" or something like that.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr says law enforcement officers were already moving to push back protesters from a park in front of the White House when he arrived there Monday evening, and he says he did not give a command to disperse the crowd, though he supported the decision.
Barr's comments in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday were his most detailed explanation yet of what unfolded outside the White House earlier this week. They come after the White House and others said repeatedly that the attorney general ordered officers to clear the park. Shortly after officers aggressively pushed back demonstrators, President Donald Trump — accompanied by Barr, Pentagon leaders and other top advisers — walked through Lafayette Park to pose for a photo at a nearby church that had been damaged during the protests.
[...]
“I'm not involved in giving tactical commands like that,” he said. “I was frustrated and I was also worried that as the crowd grew, it was going to be harder and harder to do. So my attitude was get it done, but I didn't say, ‘Go do it.'”

How many countries in the world have lived under the same system of government for longer than the United States? The list is short. The UK you live in now was more or less formed through the English civil wars of the mid-17th century, only about ~130 years before the US formed. The French Revolution was a decade or so after the American Revolution. Most continental European countries are less than 100 years old.

The American Civil War had about 600k direct wartime casualties. The Taiping Rebellion <400k. I'm aware that the estimate of civilian deaths during the Taiping Rebellion is much, much higher, but that was due to famine and disease, not acts of war.

Media Matters took a clip from Tucker Carlson's White Power Hour and recontextualised it:

Oh, I gotta hear how Floyd and Chauvin having potentially previously crossed paths at work feeds into some deeeep state conspiracy.

Deep state? They engineer personal grudges between security guards too? Wow. That is deep.
