Who was by modern standards, an asshole.

Hell, people probably thought he was an asshole in the 1700’s too!

Maybe he couldn't find anything written by Nostradamus or Goebels to back him up.

Thatnx for helping. I spent the day doing medical stuff, and sometimes I feel like I dropped into a party as the only one who doesn't know anyone.

it's just another emotionally charged hot button to hit, garnering votes for their own, and garnishes their real constituency's greed. You know damn well all these RW judges are participating in the RW continual smokescreen:
They don't have the severity of the COVID epidemic to stir the shit pot from anymore.
Aware that the economic "look at the inflation and Biden" trope regurgitated ad nauseum via FOX is weak, getting weaker from global view.
Damned embarrassed by the whole Trumpism shit pie.
Fucked by the likes of Tucker Fucker siding with Russia.
So just like the rest of their cabal, strike up the outrage machine that bamboozles those incapable of critical thought.
"Looky over there... that jezebel... that "murderer" most foul"... pointing with fingers so blood stained it can no longer wash off.

WHY haven’t they been militant about this for the last 30 years?????

Did they think the bad guys were just gonna give up and go away?

It feels like they only just now started noticing!
