You're not making sense bro...idk what you're trying to say about lincoln?
Lincoln was a racist. He openly said that he did not believe that negros were equal to white men. Aka they were inferior. Now, that is racist. Racism is the belief of superiority or inferiority based on the color of one's skin. Done. Lincoln was racist.
His goal was NOT to free the slaves, or he would have released the emancipation proclamation at the start of the war. He did not. He held it back until 63, when the war was turning dirty, and it looked like the North may not win. He needed the support (primarily financial) of abolitionists.
I really don't want to play history teacher here. Let's just say your hero worship of Lincoln is off base. He wasn't evil. I don't despise him. He was a standard politician, and history has regarded him kindly. Let's leave it at that.

No, they're just not valid in your tiny mind. See the difference?
To see a diagram of your fail, refer to post #99, #100, and #101.
Your action was predicted but in good spirits just one example was shown, and in post one hundred you did exactly as predicted, and #101 is the conclusion.
Still don't see anything. Trump said America has done great things in front of the UN and they laughed. So? I would argue that any US President who says the US is good in front of the UN will get laughed at. That's not embarrassing to America, that simply shows why the US should simply remove itself from and stop funding the United Nations.
Far from being embarrassed over Trump's actions, foreigners' need to weigh in on internal American politics and never be satisfied that we're operating as we see fit simply serves to push the average American into a position where we detest you all. We've fought for and against most of you, and the entire landscape of Eurasia would be entirely different were it not for our intercession. We lost hundreds of thousands of our people defending you and your interests, and have over 150K troops constantly deployed around the world to help protect your interests. I don't want that. I want everyone home and America focusing on America. We are literally the most resource rich nation, with the ability to thrive without outside input. We have no reason whatsoever to bow to the EU or China.
Show me what Trump has done that I should be embarrassed about. Seriously. I don't care that he's fighting to try to win a lost election. That's not embarrassing, it's just following the process. I don't care that he gets laughed at by UN members for not apologizing for being American. I don't care about anything related to his personal twitter or business life. What has he done, as President, that I, as an American, should be embarrassed over? I was embarrassed when Obama bowed. I was embarrassed when Obama apologized for Japan, and the Japanese were embarrassed as well. This kind of shit is an unacceptable use of the office. What should I feel embarrrassed over regarding Trump?
I get that you hate him. He's out on the 20th. So get your hate out fast. I get that you want to paint him as evil. You're entitled to your opinions. What I don't get is your blanket statements about him embarrassing our nation. The Middle Eastern peace agreements alone would have garnered a Nobel for any other President in US history. His Covid response was swifter and more decisive within the bounds of our Constitution than any response to any pandemic ever in our history. What exactly should I be embarrassed about? Go on, tell me.
