I don’t see anyone here claiming he was a secret Democrat operative. What I do see are a bunch of disingenuous comments thinking that a cherry picked fact somehow washes their hands of harmful rhetoric and justifies their hatred.
Hell, you dipshits can’t even form your opinion based on actual quotes… “he CaLLeD wHiTe sUpreMaciSts very FinE peOpLe!!!”
You’re not even operating in reality, so why should anybody even take you seriously?
Enjoy your chronically low testosterone levels.
There are lots of reddit channels and twitter pages to argue about US politics. Go there. None of you are changing anyone’s opinion, do you not get that? You are literally on your break from work getting more worked about stuff that’s on .65 than your “stressful” job.

That’s correct, but damn at least it’s about our job and relevant to .65

What we see is the German 6th Heer surrounded by elements of the Don Front (Vatutin), South Western Front (Rokossovsky), and Stalingrad Front (Yeryomenko) while Von Mainstein's push from the south in an attempt to relieve Paulus.

Since you guys want to talk about shit not relevant to the Union election…
One significant war in the 1600s was the Thirty Years' War, which took place from 1618 to 1648. This conflict involved many of the major European powers of the time and was primarily fought in the Holy Roman Empire (modern-day Germany and surrounding areas). It began as a religious war between Protestant and Catholic states but evolved into a more general political struggle for control in Europe.
### Key Points about the Thirty Years' War:
1. **Origins and Causes**:
- The war began with the Bohemian Revolt in 1618, when Protestant nobles in Bohemia (part of the Holy Roman Empire) rebelled against the Catholic Habsburg emperor, Ferdinand II.
- Religious tensions between Protestants and Catholics had been simmering across Europe, and the defenestration of Prague, where two Catholic officials were thrown out of a window by Protestant nobles, triggered the broader conflict.
2. **Major Phases**:
- **Bohemian Phase (1618–1625)**: The initial stage focused on the conflict in Bohemia.
- **Danish Phase (1625–1629)**: Denmark, a Protestant kingdom, intervened in support of the Protestant cause but was eventually defeated.
- **Swedish Phase (1630–1635)**: Sweden, under King Gustavus Adolphus, entered the war, achieving several victories for the Protestant side.
- **Franco-Swedish Phase (1635–1648)**: France, a Catholic country but a rival of the Habsburgs, allied with the Protestants and helped to shift the balance of power.
3. **Key Battles and Events**:
- **Battle of White Mountain (1620)**: A decisive Catholic victory that crushed the Bohemian Revolt.
- **Battle of Breitenfeld (1631)**: A major Protestant victory under the leadership of Gustavus Adolphus.
- **Battle of Rocroi (1643)**: A significant French victory that marked the decline of Spanish military dominance.
4. **Impact and Consequences**:
- The war resulted in immense devastation, especially in the Holy Roman Empire, with significant loss of life and widespread destruction of property.
- The Peace of Westphalia in 1648 ended the war, leading to significant political and territorial changes. It established the principles of modern state sovereignty and non-interference in the internal affairs of other states.
- The Holy Roman Empire's political fragmentation increased, while France emerged as a dominant power in Europe.

My time to fucking shine old boy and bring out my Hapsburgs whacking bat:
You cannot possibly attribute the Thirty Years’ War solely to the Bohemian Revolt and religious tensions. There were many vast economic factors, political ambitions, and dynastic (where do I begin) rivalries also played crucial roles in sparking and sustaining the conflict. Now to bash the Hapsburgs, they desired to centralize power in the Holy Roman Empire and the counter force to this were the ambitions of France seeking to weaken Habsburg dominance over Europe.
TLDR: Down with the Hapsburgs.

This... Fucking this.
Again... While yay Trump wasn't assassinated... Let's not forget why he should not be re-elected.
And? I guess that makes his $15 donation important for some reason?
Not mentioning one small detail that is likely entirely meaningless isn't cherry picking facts. If you want to compare harmful rhetoric while trying to stand on the Republican side of the argument, you're in for a losing battle.

Okay but what makes him an “off the rails” leader? All you did was take up half a screen with your own narrative about the guy… ?
