Whenever the vicious portion of (our) population shall be permitted to gather in bands of hundreds and thousands, and burn churches throw printing-presses into rivers, shoot editors, and hang and burn obnoxious persons at pleasure and with impunity this govt cannot last.
Abraham Lincoln's Lyceum Address was delivered to the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois on January 27, 1838, titled "The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions".
Lincoln warned that mobs or people who disrespected U.S. laws and courts could destroy the United States.

"When you're in the White House this is a very sacred place for me."
Besides mangled syntax, do you see what he is doing? He wants only sycophants reporting on what he does.
to that end, Wiki sez, he created Trump TV last year, run by Lara Trump ( Erik's wife) , produced in Trump Tower and funded by.....the 2020 Campaign donations.
( that can't be legal, can it?)

Just got the results from the weekly paper. First female Circuit Judge, a Dem, with 98% votes.
The only Republicans that won were unopposed. The whole county went to Dems, and with very high % of the total votes.
Which means exactly like it sounds....Republicans voted Dem. This clearly a protest vote.
Other Dem. women won here too.
The rest of the state went as expected, but I'm gonna find a list to get more details.
Wow.....so jazzed and proud of the folks here.
Thank you, Dotard...what a joy to read.....best B-day present in a long time.

Our red Alabama county went blue!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bigley !!!

Mueller Action alert...!!! from our friend Walter Shaub
for those who don't know, he worked as a Gov. Ethics watchdog, so Trump shit canned him fairly quickly upon stealing office.
Shaub now has his own resistance Twitter feed, here:

It was a set up to get Acosta.
I have watched the video repeatedly.
Whoever the Trump bimbo was, she moved in with a single purpose, tried to grab the mike, actually SHE bumped Acosta's hand, and when she could not get the microphone, she suddenly dropped in to a chair and looked at Trump for a cue. like a puppet whose strings had been cut.
Watch the video a few times, try to see where she appeared from. I am convinced someone in the back cued her to storm in.
Look carefully at her body language and expression as she plopped down into the chair.
I want to go find a perhaps longer video of the press conference, but it sure looked stage to me.

As Session's career fades away into the sunset. a quick peek at yesteryear
when our dear Southern lad was so young, so earnest and so early on black of heart.
Let's listen in:
"I hold here in my hand a complete list of all black voters we have not yet dis-enfranchised.
But we are working on it, Mr. Speaker...we are certainly working on it"
