Yes, that's the lesson he learned from the Reconstruction debacle - that the short-term advantages of "let 'em up easy" would outweigh the long-term consequences of a society crippled by tacitly sanctioned corruption and hate.

Ford learned exactly the wrong lessons from the disaster of Reconstruction.

And every time people around you talk about god, you know they mean what was your god all along, but used in a way that expressly excludes you from your homeland's not just dominant but completely pervasive culture...made an outsider by a new empire that enforces the co-opting of your god.

You're the one who opened that door wide and said come on in, brother.

Dudebro:

Shhh.
Shhhhh.
SHHHHHHH.
We know it's not ALL men, straight people, white people, etc. But it's TOO MANY. It's ENOUGH. And you being more offended by the implication that some of your peers can be bad than by the harm they actually cause...*makes you part of the problem.*

If you think you, personally, are getting lumped in with rapists...it just might be possible your conscience is trying to tell you something. Mine isn't. I don't think I'm getting lumped in. And if women are ready to burn it all down, I'm here to help carry the gas cans, because damn it, so am I.

The Dead Hand of Roger Taney curses us all. Same with Lincoln and Johnson with "Let 'em Up Easy," the policy decision at the end of the Civil War that shaped the slow death of everything this nation was founded to achieve.

That is going to require drastically limiting the power of police unions - most of whom should be barred from calling themselves "benevolent associations" under our truth in advertising laws because they exist mainly to keep bad cops on the streets.

We don't just need guardrails on the technology. We need sweeping reform nationwide in how police are recruited, vetted, trained, and subjected to oversight (oversought?).

But, no player should be excused for talking politics in mass media *during* the World Series. After the season is over, fine, exercise your free speech rights. During the big event, that disregard for alienating half your team's fans is just toxic.

The current regime owns a permanent interest, not mere security on a bailout, in more corporations today than at any other time in history. So tell me again how much the regime and the dictator hate socialism?

It is not socialism. Roads are not socialism, paying for people’s healthcare out of taxes is not socialism. Fire departments aren’t socialism. The military isn’t socialism. Socialism is when the public or the government owns the means of production and distribution.

Especially laughable since he'd never admit that the three states dragging down the national average are... wait for it... ...all blue states. 😂

Let us say, and why not, that I wanted to defraud the ACA public market. Would I do it by creating a dummy enrollee account, paying for coverage, and never making a claim of any kind? Who gains? In what fairy tale does this scheme make me any profit? It's good old ODS, nothing more.

They understand it. This is hand in glove with killing the subsidies - they're out to destroy the market. Also hand in glove with murdering the Kennedy Center. Anything with Obama or any Dem's name associated with it must die by the dictator's hand.

In fairness, that's also the MO of Bain Capital. All vulture capital firms are cut from similar cloth.

So, so many tells that this monologue was written for him by someone transcribing the demented dictator's rants.

It makes perfect sense if you're out to torpedo the whole system. They want Obamacare to collapse. They like most of its provisions, except the Obama part.

Belarus' leader is a Putin toady and they've been a threat to enter the war against Ukraine for years. How stupid does the dictator think we are?

God forbid the bullet, the angle of the wound, and other key forensic information get into hands the fascist regime doesn't control.

And really it's against the same people and ideologies Sherman lit on fire. I will keep saying "Let 'em up easy" was the second worst mistake in US history til I die.
