" A Civil War historian has called the remarks Donald Trump made about Gettysburg during a campaign rally "unhinged."

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, T.J. Stiles said the former president's take on the Battle of Gettysburg, which was fought between July 1-3, 1863, and killed an estimated 51,000 people, was "inarticulate" and "reductive."

51,000 people were NOT killed.  That is the number of total casualties.
In McPherson's 'Battle Cry of Freedom' he estimates that of total casualties during the Civil War battles that around ~ 15 % were deaths.
The rest of course wounded, missing, or captured.
Of course some of the missing were also actually killed vs deserters.

Like buying a suit or whitening your teeth, you're doing it to get ready for the campaign but it is a personal expense.

If he had done it the other way around, taken a personal expense as a campaign expense, they would have scrutinized that as well.

Show me the man, I'll show you the crime.

The charge was elevated from misdemeanor to felony because it was committed to cover up a crime, that wasn't a crime.

The only real question for the court is can they find one honest juror.

OK, I will have to look into my browser after I get back home to NC late tonight.

I see 2 images

one shows Paul Revere warning Colonists that halving is coming

and another that shows us throwing gold to CCP while we get back our paper $$$.

Are others seeing the images I just posted ?. Looks like a browser problem, because the images look fine to me.
