A loyal and pestering opposition is needed in governments, no matter the structure

 

the left is vital to raise hell on behalf of the voiceless, heaven help you if they win an election, they quickly destroyed the economies of Canada’s two capitalist provinces during their one time in a 1,000 years fluke elections in 1991 and more recently 

 

...true, but constructive opposition with reasonable alternative(s) versus obstruction...nothing gets done......TDS exists because he is a Washington outsider who has turned the "good 'ol boyz network" on its ugly head.....the graft, corruption and blatant politicization of two once thought to be" bastions of this democracy" as in DOJ and FBI is unconscionable...

The goals of Parliament and the US system is to change slowly over time, not making drastic mistakes, and correcting them if vital

 

your Senate is the master deliberative body of taking decades to enact law to assist the minority view to change society in a peaceful way

One of the most important but forgotten men of the 20th century was Richard Russell of Georgia, the most vital Senator during civil rights and Vietnam.

 

his career is best written in the brilliant bio of LBJ by Caro, hopefully he lives long enough to get the second term years printed and bound...

That bio is long and incredible. LBJ was not an admirable person in most ways, but he was the right man in a few key moments. An extremist could not have gotten the Civil Rights bills passed. They needed a kind of strong armed man of limited moral code and huge ambition. Enter LBJ. 

 

I too hope Caro can finish it. I would hate to see it fall off in the way Manchester’s Last Lion third volume seemed to (no offense to Reid, it just didn’t seem to have the same weight as the other two).

LBJ is impossible to pin down for good and bad and ugly, besides Lincoln he is the Prez I have read the most about, mainly because Lincoln has a few more books about him.  :)

 

And bingo with the Manchester Churchill, but we have a dozen others who have covered it all brilliantly, not so with LBJ

Fox and NY Post reading comprehension test. “Get ‘em with the headline. “

 

But when you read the “story,” you see that their source was assuming he was on suicide watch. 

 

When you’re on suicide watch, they put you in this white smock, a straight jacket. They know a person cannot be injurious to themselves.”

 

FoxNews, for the undiscerning reader of headlines. 

He also pointed out how it was literally IMPOSSIBLE to hanf oneself with the equipment in the cell. There was no where to tie your noose.

 

The jail issued clothing wasnt strong enough to not rip when you were suspended.

It's funny to hear liberals, who vociferously decried claims that the Clintons (could have) had anyone killed, now having no problem in claiming/accepting that Trump had Epstein killed.  You can't script that any better.

 

Its even funnier when you tune into any news channel or feed. 

 

The same group who pushed a baseless conspiracy theory about Trump being a Russian asset (with ZERO evidence) for two years thinks even suggesting a potential Clinton connection to the death is a bridge too far. ?

 

These are also the same people who pushed baseless Kavanaugh gang rape charges for weeks and weeks with zero evidence — but talk about the trail of bodies in the Clinton’s wake is a deplatforming worthy offense. 

 

Look at asshats in this thread who believed and pushed trump Russia without evidence (still to this day) trying to take a high ground in this thread claiming conspiracies are dangerous. 

 

They are exposing themselves day in and day out as people who are not interested in truth. Are not interested in justice. Don’t care about protecting children from predators if that predator has a D before his or her name. They’ve exposed themselves as enemies of truth and justice. 

 

And they can all ***** off.

 I assumed it was the usual Twitter-based junk. Thanks for spreading it. 

 

Am I spreading Twitter-based junk, or pointing out the hypocrisy of people spreading Twitter-based junk? 

 

Let's check with Kavanaugh and Putin, shall we?

Suddenly this conspiracy is a bridge too far for Dems.

He was not on suicide watch. This small piece of news can’t have alluded you. 

 

And your source for the camera thing is currently “some guy.” I’ll wait for any major news source even Fox to report that with a source. 

 

But the temptation to write fiction on this is so high. 

 

I do hope he left lots of video footage of his deeds and those he aided. 

 

 

Except he was supposed to be under suicide watch, but curiously wasn't monitored. AG Barr was "appalled" that this happened under federal detention. Oopsies.

Promo, you're barking up the wrong tree. Epstein doesn't get arrested if Trump isn't POTUS. Barr's DOJ indicted him. If they wanted to bump him off they could have done it any number of ways before he was incarcerated. 

 

There is no deeper Trump\Epstein connection waiting to be exposed. 

 

There IS a deeper Clinton \ Epstein connection which was JUST exposed the day before he died.
