Out here bragging how workers in her states have no rights.

At this point, any conservative politician who hasn't been exposed to and gotten familiar with the gist of the Cornerstone speech and the articles of secession of the Confederate states deserves to get trapped like she did.

I doubt she felt 'trapped' by that question, to me it just sounds like more grandstanding. Nikki Haley isn't a total idiot, she knows explicitly bringing up slavery doesn't go over well with GOP voters.

The US civil war was part of my history classes in highschool at some point, though I don't specifically recall in which grade (somewhere between 7th and 12th) we saw the chapters on "world history", which is different from "European history" just to be clear.
Ironically the supposed "world history" focused largely on the US' history. I guess other countries like India and major parts of Africa had already been substantial parts in other chapters that looked at the major events in the defined periods of history.
For the most part I remember my history classes went mostly layer by layer on the pyramid of historic periods, (starting from the prehistoric age at the bottom) with some occasional minor detours. Once we got to the modern age, then we just kinda went all over the place.
The chapters would focus solely on whatever the writers deemed most important to learn about. So for example we had massive chapters on the Egyptian empire, the Roman and Greek empire, but learned almost nothing about the Viking conquests even though they played a big role in European history and is an age/culture people tend to find really interesting.
I get that you obviously can't cover everything noteworthy in the entirety of history since the prehistoric age across 6 years of history classes but surely we could've relegated some less relevant chapters from the Roman and Greek empires to the dustbin in exchange for some proper viking history.
Especially since some aspects like Egyptian, Greek and Roman religion/mythology were also being covered in religion class.

Because Belgium realizes America is the only country that matters in the world. Respect to your teachers.

Apparently I sound American to a lot of people when I speak English so sometimes when gaming against rather vocal European opponents, I throw some oil on the fire by referring to the entirety of Europe as "East-America"

Who is Trump taking as a running mate? I am leaning to it being a random Governor but I don’t know.

Democratic Party has no reliably supportive partisan mass media outlet.
Left wing billionaires spend money on no hope presidential campaigns, and vanity NGO'
Tom Steyer needs to break off some of those billions and buy some local news stations.

Late to the party here, but what's wild is that I've talked to co-workers from Florida, and a couple of them were, like, "he's a completely different person from the one who was originally elected". They said he actually was fairly sensible and pretty non-intrusive. Then, he saw how Trump came to prominence, and threw it out the window and went super extreme. They said the Disney thing was the end of his career. They said "Disney owns Florida, not the other way around".

Never forget Fox News fired Tucker Carlson because he was a liability, and cost them nearly a billion dollars in damages. The fact his name came up this week because Kevin Spacey was on his podcast reminded me that the little crapweasel still exists.
