Think Hillary wins?

ISWYADH

I Posted my reasons why recently.
But yes I'm 99.999% sure with even more confidence than my board famous 2012 failure, that barring any indictment (no shot in hell) or national emergency (slightly less shot in hell) she will win comfortably.
I'm among my friends and brothers on here that are resigned to just let it burn down. I don't think we last another half century. Maybe in name, but nothing to related to the nation's founding. The parallels between us and the end of Rome are quite concerning.


Now this is a Gettysburg thread so I will say, The CSA had an amazing chance to absolutely divide the AoP in half and win on July 2nd... IF They would have advanced only 1 or 2 hours before, and it wouldnt even had been necessary had they seen the opportunity to occupy the round tops while there was nothing more than a flag signal corps up there. Sickles damn near destroyed the army, his army with his political arse-hattery. Luckily for him and for the union army Lee was even more bullheaded and the ANV got a late start. July 3 was a hail mary that had 0.0% completion rate.

Not rubbing it in. All stated was factual.
Had MANY ancestors on that field representing Georgia, Alabama and Texas.
I will never back down from my opinion that Lee was a stubborn fool and could have easily flanked the entire union army had he acted sooner and on the suggestion of Longstreet, Hood and many others.
People still so salty though. Them downvotes are flyin in my op. :lol: :cheers:

I hate it every time we replay it on our long form programming. It makes me hurt. My wife is a UA alumn and her sister was still in school at the time there and I had to work 17 hours straight covering the outbreak not being able to answer questions fast enough to my bride or to my father in law.
Many people hold STRONG emotions in sports, I did too. But that week put everything in perspective for me. Seeing the devastation in person shortly thereafter after being subjected to nonstop live video coming in as it happened, already knowing the stories behind certain locations, hurt.
I hate seeing it air every 3 weeks but I realize that if we cancelled every showing of an emotional tragedy we'd have to cancel every season of 'Why planes crash' and every show about joplin, Moore, ok ,Tuscaloosa and every mention of that night that spanned from Mississippi to Birmingham to north Georgia to Tennessee that suffered devestation that insane night. However, thats what people watch these days.
All that to say, my heart will always be with those who lived (and died) through those terrible hours a few years ago.

Edit: thought this was the beer one
My bad
:casty:

That's the Sugarhill RV park right?

Hey Peej

That site is unbearable. As bad as this one gets these days, it is truly a cyberspace abyss of nausea anytime I wanted self torture and perused those halls of unreality.

tl;dr it's the 'facebook comments in a 1 like=1 prayer facebook post' of AU forums.
