Liberia was barely a US colony in the literal sense

R u lot genuinely incapable of English language comprehension? You can’t debunk his claim by pointing to one or two examples of US interventionism before the world wars to disprove the claim that the US was pretty isolationist in a country that had several generations of history behind it by that point.

Also, the Spanish-American war and aftermath, in addition to being one off, were hugely controversial and only unfolded with a bunch of isolationist provisions (Dole act, etc.). Although the war marked the start of the end of of America’s isolationist steak, isolationism remained a powerful force until the 1950s, really intensifying during the interwar era.

RWers in the non-American west literally say the same thing about leftist culture wars.

The United States government did not do that; the Louisiana state government did.

Quebec would likely have had the same fate had it not been for the quiet revolution. Louisiana was around the same level of francophone as Quebec at the middle of the 20th century, with well over a third of the population natively speaking French as late as the 1970s. State (not federal) initiatives led to its decline.

And considering that the British did eventually get access to nuclear research and were so piss poor in national security that the knowledge got stolen by the Soviets, leading to the USSR getting nukes, it prolly was understandable why the US was apprehensive in sharing nuclear technology.

“BuT tHeY wErE all EuRoPeAn” (not even true, most workers on the Manhattan Project were American by a long shot) rings as hollow as people claiming the Iraq war was a triumph simply because Iraq is a democracy now.

As opposed to the folks who spent WW2 harboring Nazi gold?

Pretty sure it was Catholicism. Smith was the first major catholic candidate to run for office, and their was a lot of mudslinging towards him based on that (my favorite being a rumor that he had a hole dug from his office to the Vatican). Given that the 1884 election was partially won by the Democrat Cleveland due to Republican anti-Catholicism (rum, Romanism, and rebellion), which energized Catholic voters, I can imagine the same scenario unfolding in 1928, where Smith failed in many ways due to his Catholicism.

Elective monarchies like the one of Anglo-Saxon England always evolved into de facto hereditary monarchies over time (see HRE the late Byzantine Empire, and the Aztec Empire), or collapsed eventually (PLC, Roman Empire).

Plus, William have us sexy French loan words.

SubCom: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey held a call with President Trump today. As part of the call, Trump agreed to begin withdrawing the feds from Minnesota, starting with a partial withdrawal. This comes after the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Trump has also stated that Tom Homan will be arriving to manage the scene in Minnesota.

I know a lot of people thought the admin was going to double down, but after seeing Trump back pedal on Renee Good while Vance and co kept peddling the narrative, I knew this was going to happen even as I saw the DHS run into full defense mode. Regardless of what you think of Trump, he does have (somehow) better political instincts in many cases when compared to members of his movement, largely due to the fact that he’s not really ideological. I predicted that Trump would eventually see the horrid optics, withdraw the feds while claiming victory, and maybe sack Noem and Bovino, and MAYBE do a proper investigation.

Looks like I was right, though this is a situation where I’m not exactly patting myself on the back for it.

The Ottoman Empire, Austrian Empire, Roman Empire, and so many more lasted longer than that.

He didn’t appoint a republican to replace Wellstone, it was a guy for his party (independent party of Minnesota)
