Hang my Vice President, please!

When former President Donald Trump told an angry mob that had burst into the Capitol that Mike Pence had betrayed them, it was not the first time in American history that a US president advocated hanging his own vice president. Perhaps there was no irony involved in the fact that the other president was the largely ignorant Trump’s favorite president, noted man of violent temper Andrew Jackson.

Unlike Trump, who with perfect deniability (his intent is still being debated by great legal minds) merely noted that his vice president was a traitorous coward and incited an angry mob to make good on their threat to hang him, Old Hickory announced that he was ready to go down to South Carolina and personally hang his seditious vice president. You can’t make this shit up.

John C. Calhoun, employing an early version of the now new again Independent State Legislature Doctrine, secretly authored South Carolina’s refusal to obey a federal law under a States’ Rights argument. He argued, arguably seditiously, that a state need not follow a federal law that it found repugnant to its traditions or offensive to its own interests, in this case the harm it would do to slaveholders to obey this federal tariff against Great Britain. South Carolina announced, almost thirty years before taking up arms against the US in the “War of Northern Aggression,” that it was officially nullifying this odious federal law in South Carolina. Predictably, Jackson was furious and ready to go down to South Carolina and personally hang John C. Calhoun.

It wasn’t that they disagreed about slavery, Andrew Jackson a self-made man of the people, had risen from modest circumstances, made his fortune in the slave trade. Jackson was not a man who took kindly to being undermined by his second-in-command, which is not hard to relate to, really.

Fake news — which Hitler admired and praised in Mein Kampf

As the Fuhrer approvingly pointed out, in his admiring analysis of Allied propaganda in World War One, swapping in an incendiary, false caption under an actual photo is a powerful technique to make masses of people experience targeted rage and hatred.  And, as we see in this brutal age of “social media”, it never gets old:

Here is an actual photo of a crazed narcotics-addicted left-wing extremist US Congressman falling asleep mid-sentence on liberal media, to the clear horror of the left-wing host.

Here is the Clinton News Network, with a typical example of their biased lying, simply to make a universally adored very stable genius look like a childish imbecile:

SAD!!

Best friends and lovers

Their marriage would have been illegal in the state of Virginia and all across the former Confederacy had it not been for the unanimous 1967 Supreme Court decision in Loving v. Virginia [1]. An example of “judicial activism” that is on the table for these Federalist Society Six to overrule at last.

What harm could come from giving states back the authority to imprision citizens for race crimes, as the Framers arguably intended?

“we’re not partisan hacks!”

[1]

The case involved Mildred Loving, a woman of color,[note 1] and her white husband Richard Loving, who in 1958 were sentenced to a year in prison for marrying each other. Their marriage violated Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act of 1924, which criminalized marriage between people classified as “white” and people classified as “colored“. The Lovings appealed their conviction to the Supreme Court of Virginia, which upheld it. They then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which agreed to hear their case.

On June 12, 1967, the Court issued a unanimous decision in the Lovings’ favor and overturned their convictions. Its decision struck down Virginia’s anti-miscegenation law and ended all race-based legal restrictions on marriage in the United States. Virginia had argued that its law was not a violation of the Equal Protection Clause because the punishment was the same regardless of the offender’s race, and thus it “equally burdened” both whites and non-whites.[4] 

More from Truth Social

In fact, Trump said he deserved more credit for drawing such a large crowd to the Ellipse — and that he pressed to march on the Capitol with his supporters but was stopped by his security detail. “Secret Service said I couldn’t go. I would have gone there in a minute,” he said.

Sure they stopped him, just like when he tried to leave the hospital, infectious with a life threatening case of Covid, against all medical advice, to drive around D.C. in a sealed car for a strongman photo op, forcibly infecting his Secret Service detail.

Also, you know. that’s why Stop the Steal event organizers never applied for a permit to march — expensive, plus, tons of extra DC cops along the route! Secret Service never would have allowed that!

You know, just like the Speaker of the House is responsible for single handedly stopping the mob the defeated president unleashed on the Capitol. What can the president do if a mob of his most diehard supporters is intent on “legitimate political discourse” that includes possible lynching? That’s the Speaker’s, the Mayor of DC’s problem!

Then, a flash of the former POTUS’s political genius, on the subject of Mo Brooks’s claim that Trump asked him to rescind Biden’s election victory:

“I didn’t ask him to do it. He’s in no position to do it. I certainly didn’t ask him to do it. But I believe when you see massive election fraud, I can’t imagine that somebody who won the election based on fraud, that something doesn’t happen? How has it not happened? If you are a bank robber, or you’re a jewelry store robber, and you go into Tiffany’s and you steal their diamonds and get caught, you have to give the diamonds back,” he said.

And he’s still a big international player!

Earlier this week, Trump claimed, Viktor Orban, the prime minister of Hungary, called him to thank him for endorsing him and to credit Trump with the win. “After I endorsed him, he went up like a rocket ship,” Trump claimed of his unusual endorsement.

The best people, the best people!

Trump surprisingly doubles down

This from an interview with the Washington Post, under the headline: Trump deflects blame for Jan. 6 silence, says he wanted to march to Capitol

By Josh Dawsey
April 07 at 7:19 AM ET
PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former president Donald Trump voiced regret Wednesday over not marching to the U.S. Capitol the day his supporters stormed the building, and he defended his long silence during the attack by claiming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others were responsible for ending the deadly violence.
“I thought it was a shame, and I kept asking why isn’t she doing something about it? Why isn’t Nancy Pelosi doing something about it? And the mayor of D.C. also. The mayor of D.C. and Nancy Pelosi are in charge,” Trump said of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in a 45-minute interview with The Washington Post. “I hated seeing it. I hated seeing it. And I said, ‘It’s got to be taken care of,’ and I assumed they were taking care of it.”

Ten dimensional chess, yo, terrifying to even contemplate the next move…

Heather knocks one out of the park

Not that facts and coherent argument matter that much to the truly faithful, here’s Heather Cox Richardson:

The Republicans explicitly backed former president Trump and insisted that the investigation of the January 6 insurrection was simply a way to try to keep Trump off the ballot in 2024 and to distract from scandals potentially involving President Joe Biden’s son Hunter (who holds no government office).

The question the mass media is now regularly asking is why did nobody on the left pay attention to Rudy Giuliani’s and Trump’s repeated allegations about dirty Hunter Biden (the ones Zelensky refused to announce an investigation into before Trump’s first impeachment). Is it simply because Hunter Biden (still under investigation by the DOJ for possible tax evasion) never had a government job, none of the sleazy deals he made are alleged to have happened while his father was in office, and the wild allegations were launched amidst a barrage of unhinged lunatic lies, many ongoing though long ago debunked, from the same people, could that be why? Just asking.

But, particularly if you are in the middle of an ever more revealed criminal conspiracy to overturn legitimate election results in the 2020 presidential election, you have to have a strong point to counter-attack so Jeff Bezos and the Grey Lady will both run articles about how hypocritical Democrats are not talking about the theoretically not impossible Hunter Biden laptop scandal right now instead of completing the work of the belatedly formed the January 6th Select Committee (witch hunt!), which should have been strangled in its cradle, after a proper birth and baptism in Christ, of course.

Heather nails some big essential truths, as she so often does. Highly reccommended.

Clarence Thomas’s most well-known former law clerk

https://fedsoc.org/contributors/john-eastman

And the beauty part is that nobody can force a Supreme Court Justice to say anything but “make me!” and “I know you are, but what am I?” as far as any enforceable ethics rules. Expect Thomas to follow Mitch McConnell’s public advice and fuck the appearance of so-called impropriety. We will likely see another lone dissent by Thomas in the case his former clerk John Eastman will bring to the Supreme Court to try to block release of his incriminating emails to Trump’s war room co-conspirators.

How we do it here in America

Merrick Garland must be a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the folks who run the prestigious annual awards for actors and those involved in every aspect of high budget film-making. Garland is just less talkative than the others on the board of the Academy Awards.

The Academy today officially announced it will launch an “investigation” into the hard slap in the face to an awards presenter delivered by this year’s best actor, Will Smith, moments before he got a standing ovation from his peers on being awarded top actor honors. Millions worldwide saw the full-body bitch slap delivered live a few days ago (except here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave), followed by an impressive display of verbal toxic masculinity, and anyone can see it in perpetuity on various platforms, but, you know, as the Academy must have reasoned, we have to follow the facts, and the law, and protocol, and ensure due process for everybody so that the rights of all are protected and to show that all wealthy celebrities are equal, under our laws, bylaws and customs. This is America, the land of fair and impartial investigations (right, Merrick?).

God bless these incorruptible United Shayssssh.
