How rare is it an impaneled grand jury does not return a due bill for an indictment?

Well, over the last 15 years it is about 0.003% of the time.

That’s how weak these Bondi stunts are once they go into the process.

Ham Sandwich still undefeated this August in DC.

In closing to this intro for Part 2, I’ll leave you with something that hit me different.

I think of it as Obama’s Lincoln moment (derogatory).

There is a period piece movie called The Report.

Unlike many epic political period pieces such as All The President’s Men, it isn’t based on a novel.

It’s an all out assault on everything executed upon by all the worst bad actors inside Trump’s conspiracy to overturn the November 2020 election result.

The sycophants & black bag jobbers of the New Dixieland.

This too ⬇️ is happening RIGHT NOW.

Part 1

Inside of all things is a structure. This 🧵 will review the key elements which defined the Old-Line Dixiecrats (ODs), each of which sustained later generational New Dixiecrats (NDs) to & though this current day.

The Civil War did not end at Appomattox, it was merely structurally altered.

Today will be the first 🧵 of a 3 part series on the history of American Dixiecrats of old & new.

Today will focus on the first book pictured below to the left & is supplemented for emphasis in areas where I did my own research, pun fully intended.

My indulgences are noted as such therein.

Part 1 of 3 will post Monday: the (initial) fall of the Old South regime.

This took more time than I’d anticipated. This was hard. Many times I stopped reading to reflect, think, be openly disgusted or enraged, re-read, think more.

Ahead of this a prologue on form & a few things about myself…

I wasn’t prepared for how difficult it would be for me to stomach reading these books.

Clearly I’d underestimated the extent to which a very long & insipid baseline going back at least 190 yrs in the South drew a straight line to the sewer main of a country we have now under that carnival barker.

Like many of you, I’m still numb that last November it was decided we’d wound up with this no talent ass clown running the country again.

I’m still baffled. I’m still numb. I’m still fucking furious.

But I have a special responsibility to understand.

So, 3 period pieces for me next.

More later….

So Lavorgna, a Trump White House economic advisor, stated GDP growth during Trump’s first term was +2.8%.

It wasn’t. Not even close to true.

Take the average of the figures for 2017-2020. C’mon, a small child can look this up & do it. So do it.

Want to exculp the 2020 COVID year? It’s still less.

As a man of a certain age & waist size the thing I most resent about the stereotype that gay men are more fit, generally more attractively put together is that it is true.

It’s a horrible thing to say, but I’ll say it - these rage reactions are fair minded & I agree with them, but it’s also a dead-bang loser for one very true & also very sad reason: real Trumpers get off on this shit. They LOVE seeing people get shit on & also mocking libs who react w/ indignation.

This is literally why it was such a big deal that 50+ GOP Senators confirmed Mr. Zero Dark Rum 30 as Sec Def, including 2 on the committee (Ernst, Cotton) who literally built their political careers off Bogarting their own military chops.

He’s a sycophant w/ a drinking problem. This was inevitable.

This explains a lot, doesn’t it?

The inevitable has now occurred.

No New Year resolution for me this time; just this reminder for me & for each of you.
