i get that one level of the joke is that henry ford was a giant authoritarian who would send his goons around to worker's houses to inspect their private residences to make sure they didn't have any alcohol, what are the others

I think the other's are:

* He was a huge racist and didn't give a poo poo about native Americans
* He never said this

I wouldn't be surprised if the person in the picture isn't even Henry Ford

Edit: oh wait I forgot the obvious one: the native Americans didn't exactly ask for government assistance

Bingo, our ambassador flubbed it needlessly, leading to a perception by Saddam Hussein that he could get away with a forcible land grab.

Once he did so, our intervention was the correct thing to do. It was just also partially precipitated by a diplomatic failure (eg to properly convey the strength of our feelings on "but we would really prefer a peaceful solution").

Yeah, sometime I feel bad because a lot of the time the SovCit people are folks that found themselves in situations where they were simply so desperate for an escape (usually from massive debt) that they're willing to believe the hucksters that sell the SovCit training manuals simply because they don't see any other way out.

Then you have the smug idiots who think that they're just one of the chosen few that's smarter than everyone else because they've stumbled upon The Great Secret and I love that look on their face when their magic words don't manage to keep the police from smashing their windows and dragging them out of the car and you get to watch them wonder just how this happened.

So here's something a little different.

An IRC chatlog from a conversation I had yesterday. In it, I, a middle class white cishet, am called selfish for voting for Hillary Clinton by a lesbian transwoman who has decided she isn't voting at all. She then says that Hillary Clinton has no support from Black People. When I point out what she's saying she denies it. I should point out we've have conversations like this or similar to this before, so it may seem a little disjointed but I am referencing things that happened before. I named her and the other dude something to hide identity but I just used my name here because whatever. I tried to edit it to be readable and poo poo so hopefully it came out okay. It's a little long though.

Ask her how she feels about Hillary pushing the UN to recognise LGBT rights, and her letting Trans people display their real gender on their passports, not their birth gender.

There should be a bot that snipes every page with an explanation for this and for "arzying," but that LA Times tracking poll has like 2 black people in it. One of them is like non-college Trump supporter at >$65k a year income and due to the "demographic adjustments" based on whether or not respondents vote his vote is sometimes magnified up to 25x when he responds to the tracking poll.

They really need to stop publishing that poll. It's terrible, provably terrible in it's methodology. It has like a 4-6% house lean towards Trump.

edit:
So if that poll shows a dead heat then that means Clinton is at least +4%. It's real hosed since dead heat and +4 is the probably the difference between a narrow Clinton victory and the 1988 Dukakis blowout or maybe even the 1984 Mondale blowout.

The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.
they have the same group of people that they poll to see how their opinions on the candidates shift over time.

however, in their entire sample group, there are only two african-americans, and one of them is a huge trump supporter.

now they do adjustments to the raw polling data to match the national demographics, but as a consequence the one trump supporting african-american guy has an outsized influence on the poll results.

I disagree. Obama didn't do it all single-handed, but the very first thing he did in office was push through an economic stimulus that saved the country from recession and a possible second Great Depression. He shares that credit with about 300 congresspeople, but you can't say he had nothing to do with it. Blaming the president for day-to-day fluctuations of the stock market is stupid, but an eight year trend is something the political leadership influences.
