As a lovely poster here once told me, real Americans have ancestors who fought in the civil war. Presumably to keep black folks in chains.

I have ancestors who fought in the civil war, on both sides.

None of them ever owned a slave.

Me too. But, I'm not sure if none of them ever owned any slaves. My mother side has been in this country since before it was a country. (Over three hundred years.) My Dads side came from Scotland and Scandanavia in the 1880s---no slaves.

According to the assessor, I'm real enough.

I wonder if any of the investigations will try to discover why so many senior positions in the agencies have been vacant for nearly two years. Might as well investigate why the judiciary is understaffed as well.

That is really a couple of senators plan, names escape at the moment. About time those dumbass rules were changed, I gather they also want to eliminate the anonymous hold by a single senator and make things more transparent. Isn't transparency what the GOP has been yammering about for the last two years?

Mine fought on the Union side.
