Also the potential pardon of Jack Johnson I think is one of the few times the pardon isn't a total affront to American Law.

Jesus haha.

I would imagine it is because saying you are glad someone died, wish their family dies, and saying she was a bad mother is a bit more extreme.

That said, his comments are fucked up too.

Imagine how much of an asshole you need to be that, upon hearing someone died, your first thought to yourself is "I better tell everyone why the deserved to die/why they're going to hell". Like how bitter of an individual do you have to be?

This basically rules out commenting on about 30% of the actions of the US President. If you don't require it to be said about someone who is also an asshole it goes up to around 90%

So apparently there was a violent coup attempt at the Saudi royal palace

The official narrative is that it was just guards shooting down a drone that got too close, but there are videos on social media and its a DAMN LOT of gunfire to take down one drone <_<

Given that the current crown prince is only crown prince via peaceful coup there are a number of wildly different ways this could go even just within palace intrigue options. Toss in a possible military coup and really this could have been just about anything.

But even the official narrative is interesting. That much firepower against a 'toy drone' feels like a capital that is super on edge.

I hope history remembers Jeff Sessions as one of the most righteous patriots we've ever had in office. Imagine getting treated this way under constant threat of termination, yet still standing your ground and doing the right thing in spite of what your boss is saying about it. This country would be in chaos if he didn't stand up to Trump in the way he has.

As someone with two history degrees I'd put a lot of money on him being barely remembered at all and certainly not as a patriot.

Seph doesn't really believe anything and clearly finds it nearly impossible to interact normally with others, so if he gets something out of my post that's fine but it's more just a response to the idea than to Seph specifically.

I'm sure you're right. But he is completely putting himself on the line and standing between vindictive Trumpian "justice" and the actual rule of law. Trump publicly belittles him weekly, and I can only imagine what it's like behind the scenes. But Sessions refuses to kowtow. It's pretty remarkable.

I'd call it more that he's standing between vindictive Trumpian "justice" and vindictive Sessionsian "justice" but it is remarkable that he's been able to frustrate Trump for so long without being fired, yeah.

I honestly side with Seph on this one. As many things are there are to dislike about Sessions, things with the Mueller investigation could be a LOT worse if Sessions were to simply cede to Trump's demands.

Is he a PoS for other reasons? Sure. But we can also give some credit when it is in fact due.

I can see this point of view as well. If left unchecked Trump being Trump might become so obviously terrible that something would be done about him sooner.

But what if the alternative was Sessions being fired and replaced by someone 'loyal' only for there to be no outrage when the justice department is blatantly interfered with at every turn.

So on the one hand things could get worse only to finally be corrected or they could just... be worse.
