LOL .... "Attempted to slink away."

You are the epitome of what I described .... but it's fun to be a contrarian, isn't it? Makes you feel like you have some keen insight and understanding that people who research history for a living have missed.

Lincoln's actions preserved the Union, which was in grave peril.

Because of your simple-mindedness, you are analyzing Lincoln's actions in a vacuum, and only considering his decisions in isolation, without taking into account the extraordinary external influences and interconnectedness of the Civil War. You are ignoring the broader situation and it's impact.

I realize you fancy yourself an intellect, above your fellow MAGA faithful .... but close scrutiny reveals you to be every bit as simple your Trump brethren.

You favor preserving the union over self determination and abiding by the Constitution? That's pretty tyrannical.

Those were complicated times for this country, and the President's response to what he was facing, should be considered in context with the challenges he was facing ..... and not in a vacuum.

And as I mentioned earlier, it can credibly be argued that Lincoln was abiding by the Constitution when he suspended habeas corpus because there was a rebellion underway. The question there, is whether or not the President or Congress had that authority.

Secession isn't rebellion unless it's illegal. Per the Constitution it wasn't illegal.
Lincoln made several tyrannical moves to keep states from seceding and against those who had seceded. So it can be said that he created a lot of the challenges he faced.

American workers finally get a bill for them and not for lobbyists or special interest groups: Full deductibility of interest paid on loans for American made vehicles.

No income taxes on tips, overtime, or social security. On top of this, the OBBB prevents the largest tax increase in American history, saving each family about $5,000 in extra taxes per year.

Under Biden, over 10 million illegals invaded our Country. They drove up our housing costs, insurance premiums, lowered the wages of American workers, crippled our cities, and crime surged. The OBBB gets ICE the resources to get them the hell out!

Raising kids has gotten really expensive. The OBBB gives working families $2,200 per child, per year. In addition, the OBBB puts $1,000 into a fund for your kids that can grow substantially so they have a nest egg when they hit 25 years old.

Health care is a massive expense for some families. The OBBB provides funding for health savings accounts. We also strengthen Medicaid for those that need it and finally put a work requirement for able bodied adults.

Biden and the radical Democrats made the world more dangerous and America weaker. The OBBB makes an historic investment in our military and our Coast Guard.

As anyone who has flown lately knows, our nation’s air traffic control system desperately needs to be modernized. This should have happened years ago and the OBBB gets it done.

The OBBB is the first bill that any Congress in my lifetime will have passed that starts to control our spending. We end the Green New Scam. We can get all of this done today.

Key GOP Senator Defects on crucial vote, imperiling Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' in narrow majority​


Tillis maintains 'great relationship' with colleagues while protecting his state from potentially drastic Medicaid Cuts​


A vulnerable Senate Republican put his foot down against President Donald Trump’s "big, beautiful bill" over concerns of deep Medicaid cuts inside the megabill.

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told Fox News Digital that he would not support the measure through a procedural hurdle necessary to kick off a marathon of debate and amendment voting that would eventually culminate in the measure’s final passage.
