#2 Golly. It seems they ought to be able to march further for something they really cared about.

#4 We now know who will fade when shit gets rough.

See Houston rescuers (both volunteer and professionals) for comparison.

Still feel like kicking off a civil war snowflake?
Just say when.

#6 It's roughly 115 miles from Charlottesville to downtown DC. They scheduled 10 days to make their journey.

I remember Meade noted that the 6th corps marched approximately 32 miles overnight to get to Gettysburg. Jackson's 'Foot Cavalry' usually marched 25-35 miles in a day.

A 'leisurely' march for most units was around 15 miles per day.

With gear.

And undeveloped roads and/or trails.

But there were no Starbuck's.

#7 In a country with 300mm+ people, I care about stories about 35 people because????

There are more people at a Little League baseball game. Cover that, instead.

#8 You have this all wrong!

You see those people who left are showing Trump how to resign - by example!
