I refused to participate in the war crimes on the left of this picture. I counseled other young men on how to fightback, refuse to join the madness, reject that cruel and unjust political violence. We must do it all over again.

Former White House Counsel says, Trump’s promise to rioters is “the stuff of dictators”
Donald Trump’s promise to pardon supporters who attacked the US Capitol on January 6 2021 was “the stuff of dictators”, Richard Nixon’s White House counsel warned.
Trump made the promise at a rally in Conroe, Texas, on Saturday.
More than 700 people have been charged in connection with the Capitol attack, around which seven people died as Trump supporters tried to stop certification of his election defeat, in service of his lie that it was caused by electoral fraud. More than 100 police officers were hurt…
John Dean, 83, was White House counsel from 1970 to 1973 before being disbarred and detained as a result of the Watergate scandal, which led to Nixon’s resignation in 1974. Dean responded to Trump on Twitter.
“This is beyond being a demagogue to the stuff of dictators,” he wrote. “He is defying the rule of law. Failure to confront a tyrant only encourages bad behaviour. If thinking Americans don’t understand what Trump is doing and what the criminal justice system must do we are all in big trouble!”
I hope more than half the voting Americans turn out to be “thinking” Americans, John.

Both sides of the aisle? Easy-peasy. Just hand the shepherd’s crook over to Biden and he shouts, “China” … The donkeys lined up behind him are just as obedient as elephants. No new tricks required.
Republican dedication to tradition
Thanks, gocomics.org
Cripes! I remember the transition. Democrats relied on the Solid South…racism, Jim Crow laws and all, to stay in power for decades. Then, as a result of pressure from the growing civil rights movement, they relented. They figured they better join the nation changing in a progressive direction.
As a result, the Republican Party took over state government in all the most racist states. That’s what “Republican tradition” means in most of the South. It goes back to the success of freedom fighters at the federal level…and your friendly neighborhood bigots simply changing parties.
