I bet if we fire and dismiss every one of these 'historians' from academia, we'd end up with less articles saying how black people were prevalent in Middle Ages Europe and other 'We Wuz Kings' shit.
Yankees: "Jefferson Davis, if you run for office we'll convict you of insurrection"
Davis: "okay well I just won't run then"
Historians: "Davis didn't run so therefore 14th doesn't require a conviction"
If you voluntarily choose not to run then you can't be elected. What great minds they are.
I think my favorite part was how many people came out of the woodwork, who couldn't even pronounce emolument but were absolutely convinced that Trump was one. Or made one, or whatever but he's definitely guilty.
Trump was impeached in Congress (for the second time) for inciting an insurrection: the Capitol attack of 6 January 2021, an attempt to overturn defeat by Joe Biden now linked to nine deaths
What weasel words to justify finding him guilty of insurrection, despite not being the case.
Also "linked to nine deaths", only one that died that day was a protestor.
The only notable name on the list is McPherson, who has been targeted by the Left for years because he wrote a balanced book about the Late War of Northern Aggression Civil War. Most of the others are literally whos. "Associate Professor", "Professor of African and African-American Studies", "Professor of Africana Studies", "UGA Athletic Association Professor of History" (lol, lmao, even), and the "Atlanta Distinguished Professor in Southern Culture" (what do you want to bet that he's a damned Yankee?).
Threw out? They'll be praised by their academic colleagues and urnalists for such bravery and beauteous truthiness.
All this does is slightly harm the reputation of contemporary historians in right wing circles, which is already poor.
Yes and tell you millions died to Covid. I saw a video of Bill Maher, of all people, saying that during Covid democrats polled thought that covid had a hospitalization rate of 50%. Hospitalization rate of covid was like 3%.
To this day, I'm still utterly amazed at what the left was able to achieve with covid - as you said, something that was 99.96% survivable.
Prior to the whole covid fiasco, Trump was basically a lock to get a second term. The economy was great, no one thought the democrats had a chance in hell of unseating him, and - regardless of arguing over how effective the guy was actually being - the left was shitting itself knowing they were stuck with 4 more years of him. Then, at the last possible moment in the election cycle where something still had time to make a difference - miraculously - basically the exact one thing that could get him out - some external event that tanked the economy, and had people screaming for "change" - happened.
I'm not sure I'm willing to go so far as to say China released it on purpose (it sure is amazing that this stuff happened during the presidency of the one guy that was creating serious problems for them, and their plan of taking over as the new defacto world #1 power, though...), but once they realized it was out, they 100% did everything possible to make sure that it spread around the world, because there was zero way they could afford to have it mainly effect just them.
The left here back at home, though? I am willing to say that they 100% seized upon covid as something that they could use as a weapon to force themselves back into power. Their politicians - and more importantly, their propagandists in traditional/tech-based media - did absolutely everything they could to hype it up (God, it's disgusting to even try to remember even just a bit of the daily bullshit), use it to trash the economy, tie it to Trump, and then push for unsolicited universal mail in voting.
Then, they used the fucking masking bullshit, and vaccine mandates - both things they knew had next to zero medical value - as this massive political purity test that they could use to further divide the country, bludgeon their political opponents with, and drive them out of every place possible: police, military, all government agencies, airline pilots, teachers, whatever.
Covid was the single greatest thing that happened to radical leftist authoritarians in the last 100 years - their propagandists were able to completely fuck up the entire world with a virus with a 99.96% survival rate, and they did it just to get themselves back into power.
Sorry for writing a manifesto as a reply to such a simple comment, but - GOD - does the whole thing still infuriate me. Seeing what you can achieve by controlling the means of disseminating propaganda, and - more importantly - seeing that there is virtually no level (up to and including breaking the world) that the left isn't willing to stoop to, just so long as it furthers their goal of getting themselves into power? It's maddening. These people are fucking disgusting. They have zero fucking values, or morals. Seriously - think of everything they've broken with this. They've destroyed the economy; my/your ability to buy a home; stupid amounts of inflation on food; destroyed the average person's ability to travel; the public no longer trusts science, medicine, the legal system, government agencies like the FBI. They were willing to break everything. And, on top of that, they do it with a totally clean conscience. They 100% go to bed every single night feeling that they are some force of good, fighting the good fight vs "fascists", "racists", "nazis", etc. This is what you can achieve if you control nearly all the means of indoctrinating a populace, and you have zero values other than this undying desire to seize control of power. You can get stupid ass weak minded people to freak the fuck out about something with a 99.96% chance of survival, and allow you to do whatever the hell you want so long as your propagandists can convince them you're protecting/saving them.
The very first thing they did was swap the Case Fatality Rate for the Infection Fatality Rate. This alone multiplies the fatality rate by at least a factor of ten. Anyone who understood what was happening with this stat knew immediately that the hoax was on.
Do not apologize for putting forth effort in your posts. I want to lacerate every disgusting zoomer that writes "mucho texto" like they're clever for being allergic to character counts longer than a tweet.
It was all so transparent. If Trump had ordered his supporters to sack the capitol, and they had brought guns to do so, it would have been a proper insurrection worthy of all the democrat hysterics.
Instead, Trump told everyone to be peaceful, feds led the riot, none of the Trump supporters brought guns or seriously hurt anyone, and the democrat hysterics were wildly over the top.
So they deleted Trump’s Twitter to hide the exonerating tweets, rolled up the rioters for years in a gulag without trial, comically overcharged them, convicted them with the help of leftist juries and judges, and manufactured an “insurrection” out of a relatively tame (by BLM standards) riot.
We saw all this. Live. And they are still successfully reimagining all of it in our fucking faces.
We saw all this. Live. And they are still successfully reimagining all of it in our fucking faces.
And it's because of the same reason the left finds success in anything: they control all the means of indoctrination/propaganda. Everyone goes through the same school system they run. Everyone is subjected to the same 24/7 beating of the drum by the media, and everyone is using the same internet that they run.
The simple truth is that the average person is far too easily swayed by indoctrination and propaganda. Thus, whoever controls that, controls the masses.
Yeah, it's why they wanted the impeachment despite Trump being on the way out. If they got a guilty verdict the Congress could have legally enforced the 14th to prevent Trump from running again.
As expected their reasoning is absolutely moronic, but this part is revealing:
“By their [laughable] reasoning,” Wilentz writes, “Trump’s misdeeds aside, enforcement of the 14th amendment poses a greater threat to our wounded democracy than Trump’s candidacy. In the name of defending democracy, they would speciously enable the man who did the wounding and now promises to do much more.”
What did Trump actually do to harm our democracy more than Russia collusion that the government knew from day 1 was totally fake, or the impeachment for the Ukraine extortion Biden admitted to on camera that Trump didn't even do, or the military lying to him, or the summer of riots, or the stolen election, or the weaponized lawsuits, or the totally biased media, or...
The harm to democracy is from liberals reacting badly to Trump and they have absolutely no idea it's all their fault.
There is no historical precedence to removing a political candidate from ballots based on the lack of a conviction of a crime.
How many of these """"Historians"""" are the same number of intelligence officials that claimed that the Hunter Biden Laptop story was Russian Disinformation?
The Goldwater Rule exists for precisely this reason, and the FBI is still repeating it.
"Wilentz says justices who subscribe to originalism" are "in a very tight spot" where they "face a choice between disqualifying Trump or shredding the foundation of their judicial methodology."
Does this clown actually not understand why they are originalists? Because the Founding Fathers were wise, learned men that put a huge amount of forethought into their works. It's not because words are law or the document is Holy, but in reverence to its authors.
But people don't even know who wrote the 14th. John Bingham, an undistinguished House member and anti-mason. He's about as opposite to the FF as you can get, not well respected and a fucking anti-mason.
The originalists would love nothing more than to shit on the amendments, especially the ones written by fools.
An 1860 Republican is prime anti-FFs. Most people are taught the Lincoln myth of US history unaware how much Lincoln and the Republicans destroyed The Constitution and America, and turned it into the monstrosity it is today.
The same "historians" who rank FDR, Wilson and Lincoln as the greatest Presidents ever because they trampled the Constitution in order to expand Federal power, and defend that assessment because they "got things done."
What an interesting list of signatories. Some top notch schools and famous scholars, and some bottom of the pit crap schools and crap positions. Mostly emeritus (meaning retired and thus not afraid of repercussions). Many professors of Africana/Southern (Guilt) studies.
Glad to see my alma mater is not the list. When I was in history, there was no doubt that most of the professors were very leftist, but they were, unlike some other professors in other departments, fair. If you could marshal your sources and make a sound argument you would not be punished for disagreeing with the prof. You just had to be able to back up your arguments.
How are they historians? There are two types. The first checks every source they can find, lists them, and then shows a conclusion from his research. The other kind finds stories that fit their narrative and go with it.
I bet if we fire and dismiss every one of these 'historians' from academia, we'd end up with less articles saying how black people were prevalent in Middle Ages Europe and other 'We Wuz Kings' shit.
That's their argument for doubling down on these people in education. Without us who will proselytize DEI, I mean tell the truth of events
Yankees: "Jefferson Davis, if you run for office we'll convict you of insurrection"
Davis: "okay well I just won't run then"
Historians: "Davis didn't run so therefore 14th doesn't require a conviction"
If you voluntarily choose not to run then you can't be elected. What great minds they are.
Didn't Davis use the 14th Amendment to argue against trying him for treason?
Historians are the one of the last people to claim credibility on anything right now.
Well, these particular ones at least.
I think my favorite part was how many people came out of the woodwork, who couldn't even pronounce emolument but were absolutely convinced that Trump was one. Or made one, or whatever but he's definitely guilty.
Dunno, 50 "intelligence officials" would give them a run for their money.
What weasel words to justify finding him guilty of insurrection, despite not being the case.
Also "linked to nine deaths", only one that died that day was a protestor.
Shot in the head, by a blind firing capitol police who has a history of weapon negligence.
Who was behind numerous layers of protection with minimal threat to himself or a breach, firing into a crowd with his own officers in it.
Curious that they do not mention the outcome of that impeachment, isn't it?
"We concocted some really serious allegations against this man we hate, so clearly they should suffer heinous penalties because of this!"?
It's an argument that defends guilt by attainder. We accused you and that's why punishing you forever is proper.
I mean, is it a surprise that the left favours a judicial process that operates more like the Soviet Union than the United States?
Page 40, 41, and 42 list the names.
Remember the enemies of civilization.

Absolutely who threw out their academic credentials to obtain grace in the Church of TDS
Threw out? They'll be praised by their academic colleagues and urnalists for such bravery and beauteous truthiness.
All this does is slightly harm the reputation of contemporary historians in right wing circles, which is already poor.
... leave it to historians to find it "most probative" that they alone can see law that was not written.
While arguing against original interpretation of the Constitution.
Ask any lefty and they will say Kyle Rittenhouse gunned down a bunch of black people, or that hundreds of capital police were killed on Jan 6th.
Lying about people really ought to be a crime.

It was “between 1% and 5%”, which is another way of saying 1%.
It was all so transparent. If Trump had ordered his supporters to sack the capitol, and they had brought guns to do so, it would have been a proper insurrection worthy of all the democrat hysterics.

If you ask a liberal if they would rather cheat or lose, virtually all of them would choose the former. Can you really coexist with such people?
Even when these people try to hold themselves to a greater principle they still can't stop their TDS.
Gotta love historians. Plus it’s from that wonderful unbiased source of information The Guardian
Ah yes, "historians".
History is full of instances of "we should stop having rights for specific people" and it working out just great, I'm sure!
There is no historical precedence to removing a political candidate from ballots based on the lack of a conviction of a crime.

I hope they all work at schools requiring boosters.
The same "historians" who rank FDR, Wilson and Lincoln as the greatest Presidents ever because they trampled the Constitution in order to expand Federal power, and defend that assessment because they "got things done."
The very same.
Couldn't even find 50 like back when they had "intelligence officials" call the Hunter Biden laptop "Russian propaganda"?

Sounds like 26 employees at Barnes and Noble, have been busy during their lunch break.
fify
26 faggots who have an opinion
