Who gives a poo poo if he actually concedes though?

Will the toothless dems blame decorum and just wait around for him to concede before Biden can take office?

On January 20, right after he gets sworn in, Biden can turn to the secret service and say "get that bum out if my house." They aren't a praetorian guard, and no one's going down with his ship willingly.

Unless you're right and the Dems wait for him to stop rolling around on the floor crying before walking him out of the room.

The White House is now practically a symbol of leadership that’s afraid of its own people. Put a padlock on one of the 12 fence lines and post Biden up in a Sheraton until we build a new one.

Gettysburg the movie is Lost Cause propaganda. The only black guy in the movie is a run away slave with no lines, while multiple Confederates get to state the slavery is totally not the reason for Secession.

The next few years will probably be bad. But they will be absolutely, positively, dramatically less bad than they could've been.

And Biden's job #1/2/3 will be to pull us out of the pandemic, versus an administration that tries to pretend that it doesn't exist.

The second Biden tries to enact any measures, it’s going to be called fascism, a dictatorship, and blah blah blah.

We aren’t going to control the pandemic until we get a vaccine.

And then we have to deal with the anti-vax problem.

This chart would be a lot better if it was check all that apply instead of pick one. I would say yes to all 3 of Liberal, Progressive, and Socialist. I do still think Conservative/Trump would be pretty monolithic comparatively through.

How are we posting all this Civil War-themed music without the ultimate theme (which I binge watched on Netflix last Christmas and God, it was good)?:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZmxZThb084

The Civil War of 2020 was fought on many battlefields. From Northeast Maine...to the beaches of Hawaii. But the way it ended was glorious for the nation. An orange braggart, who somehow won the election of 2016, appeared well on his way to a victory which would have validated his undeserved feeling of superiority. But it was a former Lieutenant of the Democratic Army from Delaware who, thanks to a Red Mirage, kicked the gently caress out of the ladder just before he grabbed the belt and sent him to a slow, painful, humiliating loss while receiving more votes in a Presidential election than anyone has ever seen. Like you wouldn't believe. Bigly.

Ken Burn’s Civil War is awesome and seriously flawed and I think deserves/need an update now.

Keep the style and production the same, just well far less Shelby Foote acolytes.*

I saw Gettysburg in the theater with my dad when I was like 15. I actually really enjoy it but my opinion of its message has changed a lot as I've gotten older.

I never did get around to watching Gods and Generals but the reviewer you linked to had a pretty good takedown of it that makes me think I did not miss anyting.

The series was the first documentary I've ever seen which made me feel like I was sitting in the musty, makeshift theater at some museum somewhere sitting on a bench watching a short film about the content of the museum and I loved it. I'd watch The Civil War Redux as long as he didn't go too George Lucas with it.

The War has a piece of music meant to be emotional and bring the mood down at bad parts in it and it's the worst piece of music I think I've ever heard. I didn't bother looking it up, just referring to it as the lovely Shuffle.

The Vietnam documentary is pretty good but starts from a flawed premise about the legitimacy of the Republic of Vietnam, doesn't speak much to the common brutality faced by the Vietnamese people, and undersells the war crimes perpetrated by Americans, especially by focusing so much on My Lai when it was in no way an aberration or out of the normal for operations in Vietnam. I think my biggest problem with it is that it's probably one of the more watchable documentary series about Vietnam but it misses the mark quite a bit imho

I recently read Kill Anything That Moves, a book draws largely from US Govt sources, and Jesus loving Christ, we were loving monsters. I get that war dehumanizes a man; I understand that it's ingrained to remove a bit of the enemy's humanity in your head; but holy god drat Christ.
