Justice Department moves to toss seditious conspiracy convictions of Oath Keepers and Proud Boys

Different times: On February 19, Sherman's funeral service was held at his home, followed by a military procession. Joseph E. Johnston, the Confederate officer who had commanded the resistance to Sherman's troops in Georgia and the Carolinas, served as a pallbearer in New York City. It was a bitterly cold day and a friend of Johnston, fearing that the general might become ill, asked him to put on his hat. Johnston replied: "If I were in [Sherman's] place, and he were standing in mine, he would not put on his hat." Johnston did catch a serious cold and died one month later of pneumonia

Sherman should have been made military governor of the South until reconstruction was actually complete.

Blame Andrew Johnson, the original MAGA enabler.

Sounds like a compromise

This. I've been telling people about this since around 1986 when it actually happened to me! Got drunk with a bunch of Republicans and all of a sudden they were talking about undesirables and the Jewish bankers running everything. The entire Republican Party has always been a soft front for the Southern Confederacy, eugenicists, and neo-Nazis. Unfortunately, the mainstream media has spent a century or so denying this because their owners want to be taxed less and have no regulation. So we get media stories about false balance and how 10 trans people are ruining sports and private bathrooms while the machinations of the enemies of the state are soft-peddled as "overzealous staffers" and other nonsense.

I see this occasionally. I’m an Army brat and military retiree and when people hear that they assume a lot of things…I hear the hard “r,” the works…it usually stops when I suggest that Obama was the best president in my life time, and the social programs I enjoyed as a dependent and Soldier should be available to everyone…

who said that, again? Bannon?

Best comment here. 🏆

No school means time for more farm chores!

The current administration has overwhelming support from non-college-educated males. It’s one of their strongest demographics.

They just point back to how “things were worse under Biden.”

It *is* a conflict of interest, which is why Biden initially said he wouldn't do it. Then he lost to Trump who did it a billion times, while bragging about how he was gonna do it more, and decided f*** it.

the videos I've watched of men who could do such feats did seem awfully pleased with themselves

Trump has their trust, and I've listened to many interviews of folks saying this pain is patriotic and surely necessary for some classified reason. It's a level of deference NEVER afforded to a Democrat, and even when Democrats offer an explanation, it's met with near-infinite mistrust. And, reliably, when no real change occurs and no relief is given to these folks whose meager living standard is getting royally rocked -- again for some unknowable reason -- some supporters will say "Enough is enough" and others, seeing the defections, will double down out of what to me just seems like contrarianism. But the defections will be enough to knock Republicans out of power yet again, until Trump, like Reagan, is spun into legend.

There was a recent psychology study I heard about that found that people that leaned conservative tended to place more emphasis on winning no matter when it came to politics and those that leaned liberal were more concerned about making decisions that were best for the most people. MAGA operatives have used this paradigm to the detriment of everyone but their wealthy backers.

Trump didnt want them investigating human trafficking, he wanted them to take part in it.

He prioritized “immigration” so he could continue to access human’s being trafficked.

He's all but pardoned Tina Peters for a state crime. Wrote a "symbolic" pardon for her and suddenly her 9-year sentence gets tossed out and she has to be resentenced. Wanna bet how much jail time from none to zilch she'll get this time around?

Well you already have the dipshit governor of Colorado considering pardoning the insurrectionist lady whose state level charges were "pardoned" by Trump, with Trump demanding her release as a result.

At this point I expect them to make a bronze statue of Ed Gein out of his victim's jewelry

'scuse me. Black while in a tan suit while presidenting.

You're assuming that in this dystopian future that these left leaning people will actually get jury trials.
