Andrew Jackson was about as racist as you could get.

 I mean, compared to the people of his day?  I'm guessing he was about on par.

You are missing out man! There's been a big battle between historians on the end date or possible extension of Reconstruction into the Gilded Age based on historiographical points of view. I think ESPN is going to show some of the speeches at AHA Annual Meeting next year!

Visiting The Hermitage in Nashville on a hot day in 2019 was quite the trip. At the entrance they had a "save the $20" where you could donate to the cause to maintain Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. After that you can walk right over to look into the hot stuffy dirt floored slave quarters where families were packed in as they could gaze upon the huge relatively comfortable mansion that Jackson had built. Civil religion is a hell of a drug.

I will add this, I think George W Bush was the worst 2 term President in history, and the funny thing is, I don't think he's all that bad a guy.  I disagree with him on a bunch, but more or less he was just a simpleton that should have never been anywhere near the Presidency.  He's sort of fortunate in that we've had so much crazy shit since him people tend to forget.  The subtitle to any book about him should be the following, "One disaster after another".  

Trump makes W look like an altruistic genius.

Pos rep, but I think debasing yourself to the level where you morally justify enslaving other people and treating them as less than fully human is the key to what makes the South the South.

As was the custom at the time

Trump should steal his "It is a damn poor mind that can think of only one way to spell a word" next time people make fun of his spelling. His rubes would eat it up as much as Jackson's rubes did. There'd be Walmart scooter patrons in shirts and bumper stickers on F350s the very next day.

Looks like the first smackdown of Aileen is on deck:

Watch for Jack Smith’s team to file a Notice of Appeal to Judge Cannon’s latest CIPA Section 4 Order. Cannon so butchered the law on CIPA in a 15-page rambling ruling ignoring the basic purpose of CIPA.

Doesn't even need to be his just due; they got Capone on tax evasion. It wasn't but a fraction of what he deserved, but it was enough to do the job.

I've always thought of Trump as a modern-day Andrew Jackson, but both worse and stupider. As for whether or not he's worse than Buchanan, let's just say the jury's still out. He's not quite worse than Buchanan... yet.

If he gets jailed/dies and his movement ends, it becomes a more interesting discussion; if not... I don't think Buchanan "wins" this one.

And definitely bookmarked that lecture for later.

I'll have to look deeper, but the quoted sections aren't precisely at odds.

One of the things the defense has to show is how relevant classified information is to the defense and what level of disclosure is required.  Which means exposing defense theories and theories that may not be the trial theory.  So, Cannon seems to be permitting an ex parte hearing where the defense can explain their theories, why classified information is needed to support or prove them and thus that it is entitled to some level of disclosure of and use of classified materials at trial.  For fairly obvious reasons, they don't necessarily want the government to be privy to that discussion, and that's legit.

Whereas, Chutkan is saying, in different context, apparently, that there cannot be a non-ex-parte hearing where classified evidence is discussed in detail (ex parte meaning one side or the other, only).

But, if she fucks up CIPA, I'm all for the interlocutory appeal the gubmint gets and maybe a reassignment to a more experienced judge.

and as irony would have it, she'll be the first one attacked by MAGA nation for not protecting her Commander.  Some of these people are so personally fucked, they can't see it.  Living your life looking over your shoulder is not just a movie cliche, it's real and it will eat away at you from the inside until the point where you'll view the bullet as a welcomed relief.  the AI bots queued up to feed the MAGA nutjobs that Meadows, Canon, Barr, Jared, Mike Johnson, et. al. are robustly in place.  They will take to the dark web, the Qanon sites, 4chan, even facebook and they will convince---if even just a few thousand acolytes---that the Deep State has compromised these former loyal Trump staffers and leaders sold him out.  And then, the hunt begins...

#14975

she's doing this to delay the trial:

NEW: Judge Cannon appeared inclined to delay the timetable for Trump classified docs case, saying at hearing she would enter order as soon as possible on adjustments to the schedule

 

#14977

To be fair to her in this case, she can't control the Gregorian calendar.  The Orange ShitStain is involved deep into four separate trials in 4 different venues.  

I said, as many others did, a year ago that this whole thing wouldn't come to facts, or law, or politics.  It would come to days of the week and months of the year.  Back him into a corner, not of space, but of time.  And his body will consume itself.  And the ensuing Bacchanalia will make Caligula himself blush in his grave.

BTW apparently Trump is very worked up about what is happening there - has made something like 100 rants on truth about it. It seems he was in a bit of denial about what was happening there and now the reality has hit him in the face.

She absolutely will delay that trial past the election- probably because it’s the biggest slam dunk of all the federal crimes.

If he would have taken the President's job seriously and respected the position, showed some class and empathy, he would have won reelection easily and probably had a statue and a school or highway named for him. But no, he's not built that way because the job was way over his intelligence level and he only knows how to bully people to get his way. And yet there's Cannon. I have no idea what her endgame is. Does she think that by helping Trump and hoping he gets reelected she'll get a Supreme Court position?

Being a federal judge in a low volume district *for life* is a uniquely rare and sweet job that thousands of more qualified attorneys would have taken. I think it’s not about ambition but she’s acting out of loyalty- just like our former mob boss in chief wanted

Greg Abbott in a nutshell.  If he hadn’t gone full asshole, and tried to make lives miserable for certain groups of people, hadn’t acted like a banana republic dictator kowtowing to billionaires and getting pissed off when people didn’t do what he wanted, had shown some class and empathy, and done things like tried to help more handicapped people since that should be a subject near and dear to him, he’d have schools named after him, statues, etc. and an actual legacy.  

Instead, he makes Rick Fuckin Perry look almost like a decent governor, most UT alumni are embarrassed by him, and a whole shitload of the state thinks he’s just a completely irredeemable asshole
