    Why does the Taxslayer St. John’s River flow north?

    Because the State of Georgia Presented by UPS sucks!

    The SEC Gulf makes sense. We could vacation at the "It Just Means Shore".

    … And the rest of the world. Such a cool thing to do for the guy purportedly the leader of the free world.

    The irony (or perhaps it's fitting) of that sentiment. Slavery - and the shitty and stagnant economy it creates - is the No. 1 reason the south lost the war. Yet the morons pine for this era. Could there be a dumber sentiment. It would be like Poland pining for Soviet rule.

    If Lee takes up Lincoln's offer, it's effectively over in weeks and completely over within 6 months. You have to be the dimmest of bulbs to buy into any of the Lost Cause nonsense.

    Yeah, but Vance is Musk's marionette. At least Trump has some agency and uses it to create chaos. Vance would just simp out and pave the way for Musk's Atlas Shrugged fantasy roleplay routine.

    We got dumbass over Haley and DeSantis, so apparently you aren't reading this "movement" right. You could not be more wrong on No. 3. He could shoot a baby in he face on national TV and they'd all be spewing the same rationale for it within 12 hours, if not sooner. Similarly, inflation could spike to 20% and somehow it would still be Biden/Obama's fault. This is a cult. Deal with it.

    Impeachment would be a stupid idea, even if you have the votes. In that scenario, just feed him rope and let him and his moron followers do the rest.

    Because Trump hasn't incinerated the planet enough to melt all of Greenland's ice and turn it into a tropical paradise? Drill, baby, drill . . .

    10 Facts about Greenland that You Might Not Know.
    Since most of Greenland is covered in ice, snow and glaciers, the Arctic nation is mostly white. So how did it get its name “Greenland” when it’s not really green? It actually got its name from Erik The Red, an Icelandic murderer who was exiled to the island. He called it “Greenland” in hopes that the name would attract settlers. But according to scientists, Greenland was actually quite green more than 2.5 million years ago. A new study reveals that ancient dirt was cryogenically frozen for millions of years underneath about 2 miles of ice.

    Why is Iceland called Iceland when it is mostly green?
    So now we know why Greenland is called Greenland because it really was green….but Iceland is not covered in ice, so why is it called Iceland?

    Iceland has famous sagas, ancient stories, often involve real people and events, that teach us many things, including why Iceland is called Iceland. One of these tells of a man called Flóki who came to Iceland. Really he came to a country called Garðarshólmur (Garðar’s Isle), as that is what Iceland was called at the time. Previously, it was also called Snæland (Snowland). Flóki wasn’t the first to find Iceland but it hadn’t been fully settled as it later was. Sadly, on his journey, his daughter drowned, and when he finally arrived there was a long cold winter, colder than normal, that meant all his livestock starved to death.

    Understandably, Flóki became depressed, and it didn’t get much better after he climbed a mountain, to see if there was anything good out there. The story says that all he could see was a fjord full of icebergs (that had probably washed over from Greenland). Upon his return to Norway, he referred to Garðarshólmur as Iceland. Because to him all that was there was lots of ice!
