Gotta be honest, the constellation of limitless presidential immunity, brutal student repressions, governmental efforts to codify the state of Israel as official Judiasm enough to label criticism as antisemetism, a rogue supreme court that literally exists to solidify gop rule and a genocide, really bodes poorly.
I'm a member of the mayflower society on my dad's side. I see it as a bad thing. 1) we were poor debtors fleeing our homeland on a death wish, and 2) despite being here forever, no one in our life has managed to make any real money. A very important third point is that my family probably sat back and watched a little genocide while clinging firmly to whatever middle class existed. TLDR, tracing a long history back in the US isn't necessarily positive.
FWIW I was merely responding to his "for curiosity sake;" I was making no value judgements. Colonial times is ten generations back, and in that generation each of us has two to the tenth ancestors (1024), assuming no inbreeding. The colonies had 2.5 million people in 1776, and with all the intermarriage over the last ten generations it wouldn't be unusual for somebody in the US to trace lineage back to at least one of those 2.5 million inhabitants. My mother's family came here from Austria in 1950, and my father's family came here from Finland around 1900, so I can't. Wife considers herself Swiss-German, but one line of the family comes from 1640's Virginia via Iowa, which makes her a DAR and our children of colonial lineage.
Makes sense. If you broke the law you should be prosecuted. But like if it was a misdemeanor, then obviously the government shouldn’t try very hard to convict. It was ONLY a misdemeanor while interrupting the peaceful transition of power and of federal property.
Sigh Scarface as most people know it was a remake of an early 1930s film which was adapted from a book loosely based on Al Capone.
Did you find a copy of this magazine in the middle of Prospector ‘s collection he started putting together as they came out in his late 30’s?
The media fawning over a guy who has pretty much told judges he intends on killing journalists is incredible
Believe he was repeatedly protested and claimed Kemp wouldn't restrict abortion. Lol. Chuds fucking loser
GOP: Corporations are people, too, and restricting their political donations is an impingement of their free speech! Liberal non-profit corp: Okay, we’ll express ourselves by bailing out people for exercising their free speech rights. GOP: No, not like that.
When monsters like Desantis and Abbot exist, it's easy to forget that Kemp also needs to be put into a fucking wood chipper.
Kemp flies under the radar bc he leads a pretty profitable state, gives refunds, and some good pub like raising teach salaries. He doesn't self promote himself like the two ghouls you mentioned, so the above plus this allowed him to mostly sneak through horrible shit without much fanfare. I think only the voting rights laws led to any true backlash
