TRUE ERIC, but I'm thinking he's thinking that if he gets a new Republican governor in New York, he'll have his pardon all lined up spiffy-like.
We all keep talking about different facets and aspects of the big problem in America. The way I'm seeing it is the Right Wing groups keep recruiting by selling PATRIOTISM when in fact they believe in the same ideology which John C Calhoun used as the foundation of the CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA, including low or no taxes, White Supremacy, STATES RIGHTS, and slavery for big agriculture. They carried American flags to the January 6th attack on America's seat of government; but, in their hearts they wanted John C Calhoun's dream.
I just can't get behind the anti-Russia thing. I feel like our role in global politics should be diplomacy toward our adversary in an effort to set the tone for reconciliation. He said some things about Vlamimir Putin and our reaction to alleged Russian meddling; that has been reported to America shakily at best, that all seems inflammatory. I want him to turn that around right now. He's speaking to the wrong end of the electorate in my honest opinion. What would I have him do? Ask lots and lots of questions so that we all get a better picture of what's really going on. Because right now, if you're anything like me, you're not without-a-doubt convinced that Russia's government was ultimately responsible for whatever exactly happened.
Now there was sweet, but short, satire. The society doesn't exist... But we did need them desperately during Trump's white house invasion.
Storm, but I think some of those crimes are federal crimes, I.e. racketeering, in which he is not able to be pardoned.
Oh, he will have this tied up in the courts for years. With the way his fat ass is growing, he'll be dead by 2024 anyway. The only sad part of that is the big funeral we will have to foot the bill for.
you left out another of John C Calhoun's legal theories - nullification. According to Calhoun, a state legislature could nullify any US Supreme Court decision within that state simply by majority vote of the legislature or the people (by which he meant white males). of course the possible Supreme Court decisions Calhoun had in mind for all this nullification nonsense was fear that the South would lose its majority on the Supreme Court and the Court might then begin to rule against the slave states and the slave owners.
Yes, John C Calhoun was a big deal here in Fort Wayne Indiana. They've got a major street named after him. It's the street with the court houses and city hall and the sheriff's jail. They used to hang Black Men as recent as 1930 just south of here in Marion ... right in front of the courthouse.
Why do so many good friends of mine live in Indiana? Sounds like a shady past to me...hopefully folks are a bit more enlightened nowadays.
I have a friend who left Indiana, for California, when she was seventeen. Axel Rose is also from Indiana. He played piano for a church choir.
Indiana has a checkered past. The bad thing todays is a result of mass migration of poor people from the south who came to work in auto industry factories after WWII, such as International Harvester which made Scouts and Pickups.
Bill Blass was from Indiana. Issac Hays and Michael Jackson, and James Dean, and the Reverend Jim Jones too.
