        Never forget that the 13th amendment includes a caveat to allow for the forced servitude of inmates. So basically, they just changed the name

        Michael, just wondering if you think what is happening now will be documented accurately in the history books? I mean, considering we live in two different realities, lately

        It drove Democrats crazy, when they lost their 10th Amendment challenge they went insane and divided the Union and started Civil War, their first act of Treason. They are trying very hard to do again while US is at war, DNC is the party of Treason.

        So Ginger, which is it, the memo release, a nothing burger or a constitutional crisis? Democrats have claimed both, trying to cover all bets.

        The fact that the government had to force humans to stop the enslavement of other fellow humans speaks volumes about the human race.
