The larger message here is that the GOP are not only willing to ignore the rule of law, they're chomping at the bit to do so...

Then again, like Trump and Elon, Andrew Jackson was a blatant racist and open proponent of white supremacy.

Chip Roy: “In October 2024, following a Supreme Court ruling that allowed Virginia to remove 1,500 non-citizen voters from its rolls, Roy criticized the Biden-Harris administration for opposing this decision.” There are numerous other examples of his hypocrisy.

It will be endlessly bewildering to me that all of these people who say they don't trust big government will believe deeply in their soul literally anything that their elected officials spew without an ounce of irony.

Andrew Jackson understood that part of what made democracy possible was having honor.

Today, honor is less important than sequentially increasing earnings.
