Indeed. Paul Newman (I think) did an amazing series about US history from conception to the early 1900's it that was aired on the History Channel over here. It was great viewing and incredibly informative, especially the episodes that covered how e natives were treated and the civil war period where the heroes many celebrate were not actually heroes at all. More like nasty, brutal murdering bastards tbh.

Not Trump. But pertinent.
That's a great message, especially in contrast to Hillary's deplorable one last cycle.
Justice seems a strange choice of words.
It really doesn’t need a new Obama. Just someone with less luggage than Clinton.
Oh I see we're still doing the why Hilary lost thing, are we?
Great.
Great.
I think the deplorable point is overstated anyway.
Bwaaahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa! Somebody's shitting their self.
Hold up here... 135K likes/retweets/whatever the feck it is... another surge of bots and regular people?
His tweets have been hovering between 20-80K for weeks. Now a sudden spike... what gives?
Gotta be bots.
Yeah, makes sense that the russian bots would want to share that tweet. It's the President attacking his own security services, that's perfect for them.
I mean, if Dems don't learn why Clinton was such a horrible candidate to push then they won't win 2020.
This is troubling. As more and more information comes to light, its becoming clearer why Trump chose Kavanaugh.
Its a bit too late for Drumpf to get bailed out by a SCOTUS case. Even if Kavanaugh gets in and starts making Scalia like opinions, the Mueller case and all the ancillary nonsense (Cohen et al) will have already drowned Trump in incriminating information before the 2020 campaign kicks off.
Roberts would not want to be seen as a rubber stamp for a traitor.
If Mueller has the evidence, the court will not intervene.
If Mueller has the evidence, the court will not intervene.
Agreed.
I think Thomas is a more dangerous Justice than Scalia.
I can't find the article from about a decade ago that I am thinking of but here are two brief ones about what I mean. Basically in the rare cases where Scalia and Thomas disagreed I am always on Scalia's side and never on Thomas' side. At least Scalia had a code, even if I disagree with it. Thomas is just an unabashed partisan masquerading as a Supreme Court Justice.

This is why you shouldn't have activist judges on the court. Conservative or Liberal . His feeling is irrelevant to what the law is or isn't
Why d'you say that? Do you think that there is an objectively and obviously true interpretation of the law?
as their Ceaser lay dying they will jostle to put that first knife in, to prove their 'loyalty' to the country...which will roar its condemnation in return by hurling their past deeds at them.
And every stone will be fatal.
And every stone will be fatal.
..and their garments were made of shells....
Again, the data doesn't suggest the assertion that he is "much more hated than GW Bush." That's not exactly high praise considering how hated Bush was, of course. As for Trump's trade war, keep in mind that Bush started two actual wars. And while at least one of them started out really popular, they were incredibly unpopular by the end. I think it's fair to say that Bush was a much greater disaster for the world than Trump has been. Of course, Bush had eight full years to work his magic, Trump's not even into his third year.
No doubt he's talking about social justice.
Does look like it - noticed the same thing in the replies - many more pro Trump comments again by new or what seem like likely fake accounts. I'm sure Twitter doesn't give a shit now that they can claim they closed a ton of fake accounts a little while ago.
This is just the impression I have based on living in E Asia and travelling in Europe. Perhaps Bush was more hated in the middle east...
Bush to be fair to him had 911 on his hands.
Ok, fair enough. Have the Dems got it?
Maybe the indeindepents, but I don't see how he could have pulled anything out of trump country. Trump ran on hate, basically. That's what energised his core followers.
That's too simple. He also ran, however strange that sounds, "hope". "Hope" for coal miners, hope for cargo shippers, truck drivers, etc. etc. There's a populistic site to Sanders a lot of people don't want to see and he appealed to those people just as well as Trump did.
He also ran on repealing the Affordable Care Act . A bit mutually exclusive with an overall economic benefit for the masses. In a nutshell, I think his core base would have voted for any douchebag the Reps would nominate.
Not in the US. That strange phenomenon has long been known now.
He’s unloading today.
Populism isn’t always a bad word. Especially when we’re talking about giving hope to people in deprived areas. The Dems could use some more of that populism.
Pretty sure his aides would prefer he play golf.
You always think this is the time the bottom falls off and then you find out it goes deeper and deeper. Sigh!
Does he only consider the "witch hunt" rigged because they're going to find something significant/concerning on him?
Is populism just telling people what they want to hear, whether you can execute it or not?
Acually saw that happen live on Fox and Friends . Pete Hegseth insisted in holding up a piece of paper to camera, which he had written Candidate #1 on it . The show as forgotten it as viewers and is directly talking to Trump.
What does 'the foot' mean?
