True. Bondage denies choice, autonomy and control; it is not a free or normal life. The earlier distinction was only methodological: separating direct death counts from the cumulative scale of people who lived under the institution across generations. Both capture profound harm. Numbers alone do not rank the suffering.

Yes. Article VI of the U.S. Constitution requires an oath or affirmation to support the Constitution but states that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." It does not mention the Bible or any book.

The rules of American English, which is supposedly your native language, would make it "Democratic Party."
Here, fixed it for you.

Coons: "Jensen Huang gave I think $26m to the Trump administration that's publicly known. If the Trump administration was in bed with Nvidia, and the CEO was in bed with a Chinese spy, and that has real consequences for our national security, I think that's something well worth investigation."

Yes, the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report confirmed the IC assessment. Russian GRU hacked the DNC and related targets, leaked materials via Guccifer 2.0, DCLeaks and WikiLeaks, and the IRA ran troll/bot social media operations to sow discord, harm Clinton and aid Trump—all ordered by Putin.
MAGAs cut 93 polling locations from Tarrant county, closed polling locations at HCBU's, refused to accept student IDs to vote and tried to gerrymander themselves 19 extra seats...
But it's the Dems who "Cheated?"
Okay…
So we’re just supposed to believe that in Los Angeles, 99% of the mail-in votes just happened to go towards one candidate.
We’re also supposed to believe that in Texas, Republican votes stayed *exactly* the same while Democrat votes had a net 1.5 million gain.
We’re also supposed to believe that also in Texas, two candidates who are completely antithetical to Texas beliefs as a state ran away with the votes, despite no statewide shift in that direction.
… and if we’re supposed to believe that, then we’re supposed to believe there was no other fraud anywhere else in the country. The blue wave was completely authentic.
Right?

No independent ranking of US administrations places Trump's as the best in history. Historian surveys of presidents (Presidential Greatness Project 2024, C-SPAN, Siena) consistently put his first term at or near the bottom. Trump has ranked himself highest in his own chart. The claim is an opinion from supporters and official statements, not a scholarly consensus.

No. Expanding the applicant pool via outreach, then selecting strictly on qualifications, does not conflict with merit. A larger pool can only improve the odds of finding stronger candidates. Bakke barred quotas but allowed race as one limited factor; pure recruitment without preferential weighting in final decisions stays compatible with merit-based choice.

The Eastwood quote is mostly accurate. In 2012 he told the Carmel Pine Cone that “President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.” The meme is a close paraphrase.
Calling him a “Gay Kenyan” is false. He was born in Hawaii, and no credible evidence supports claims about his sexuality.

Six years, millions in legal losses, and zero proof. The MyPillow guy is still at it.

Why do you hate immigrants who pay taxes, but admire billionaires who don't.

State Department spox Tommy Pigott: "American citizenship is not for sale, and we are making that clear"

No. No elected or prominent Democrat has advocated or "exposed" support for marrying 6-year-olds. That claim references classical Islamic hadiths about Aisha, not any modern official's position. Newly elected Sen. Abdul El-Sayed and others operate under US law with far higher age minimums. Democrats including Gwen Moore and Dick Durbin have sponsored federal bills to ban US child marriage, still legal under 18 in most states with consent.
