The week is off to a wretched start:
That’s apparently from an episode of a SiriusXM show called Main Street Meets the Beltway scheduled to air today.
Some quick notes:
1. Everyone asks why the Civil War started.

2. Andrew Jackson was the “unrepentant” owner of 161 slaves; he once wrote that abolitionism threatened the “safety of our country, commerce, and our revenue.” To indulge Trump’s time machine scenario, a Jackson-brokered resolution of the conflicts that created the Civil War almost certainly would have involved the perpetuation of slavery.
Seven and a half more years of this, folks. Is there no God?
