    Oh sorry... read on...

    Flynn Junior may not be guilty of anything (since he was never charged), but he was in the orbit of his dad and Russian connections... certainly not out of the realm of possibilities...

    LOL, of course ignore the reason Weissman wanted to target Flynn Jr. who had a 4 month old baby and ignore the timeline. Ignore that kept hidden from the Flynn defense that he had already been exonerated from FARA violations internally and was not considered a Russian agent.

    In Stalinist Russia, but Flynns would be breaking rocks in Siberia as we type..\

    In the USA, both were investigated - One was fully cleared (or not fully pursued) and one lied to the FBI and the administration.... Not too bad...

    Not all black slaves worked on the plantation.

    Many slave owners rented out their slaves to work on the docks loading and unloading ships, lumber mills, etc that white non property owners and non slave owners were competing for.

    Basically slaves depressed wages in the private sector just like what we see today with illegal aliens.

    Many who owned slaves owned just one slave who was just a house or farm servant.
    No different than today where white liberals on L.A. west side have an illegal alien from Central America or Mexico who cleans their toilets and watch their children.

    America was completely diffrent in 1860 than today or even 1865.

    Before the American Civil War Americans held their loyalty to the sovereign state they lived in not to the federal government.

    All you have to do is look at the "Order of Battle" of both the Union armies and the Confederate armies.

    There were Union federal armies and regiments but the vast majority of the Union regiments were state regiments.

    In 1963 as a Brig. General, George Custer commanded the Michigan Cavalry Brigade.

    Almost all of the Confederate armies and regiments were state.
    The Army of Northern Virginia, Army of Arkansas, Army of Tennessee, etc.

    Getting back to the OP, I'm glad Bolton is gone, I thought his support of the Iraq disaster disqualified him, which goes for Hillary and Biden too.

    Absolutely love that line. Hilariously, the man who coined it (Beria) was murdered in the same way he murdered others. The Court of the Red Tsar details the madness. It was in that book that I discovered that Putin's granddad was Stalin's chef.

    Ah... it's an old line.... here's one for updated times

    "Show me the man and I'll show you his personal lawyer telling Congress and Federal Prosecutors that the man directed some of his crimes"

    It's a little long, so not as memorable... I'll work on it...

    Hillary and Biden condemned the war once they got the truth about Bush's lies. Bolton did not. In fact he wanted more war as is so typical of traitors.

    White House chief of staff John Kelly Monday praised Confederate General Robert E. Lee, whose legacy has become a point of fierce contention in the dispute over Civil War monuments.

    "There are certain things in history that were good, and other things that were not so good," Kelly told new Fox News host Laura Ingraham.

    "I think we make a mistake as a society, and certainly as individuals, when we take what is accepted as right and wrong, and go back 100, 200, 300 years or more and say, 'What Christopher Columbus did was wrong.'"

    He went on to pay tribute to Lee, who led Confederate forces during the 1851—1865 conflict.

    "He was a man that gave up his country to fight for his state, which 150 years ago was more important than country," Kelly said. "It was always loyalty to state first back in those days. Now it's different today."

    He said that a failure to compromise was responsible for the conflict, and conspicuously did not apportion blame to the slave-owning Confederacy.

    "But the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War," said Kelly. "And men and women of good faith on both sides made their stand where their conscience had to make their stand."... -> https://www.newsweek.com/john-kelly-defends-robert-e-lee-wont-blame-confederacy-696880

    The overall defeat of ISIS over the past few years, which gave us the ability to withdraw most of our troops, without allowing ISIS to reestablish itself. Hopefully, the end of the endless war syndrome.
