Webb was part of ending George Allen's political career, and for that reason alone I can't hate the guy.

The main thing I remember about Chafee is that fishmech liked him a lot. Draw what conclusions you will.

Hey, I got some info!

Am talking to Bill Herring - he's the Democratic Chair for the 12th District. I've also been told you're welcome to attend Bulloch meetings in Statesboro if you want as well if we can't find anything in Candler.

Will work on getting more details. They actually seem pretty happy to hear from folks.

Awesome. I live in Candler and commute to Bulloch to work so either place is fine for me. Mind sending me the info for how I can get in touch with him?

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

don't worry, in the next several years Friedrichs will be reheard and the new SCOTUS pick will help write the 5-4 opinion on nationwide public RTW.

Next, that precedent will be used to push a nationwide private RTW.

God bless!

The two go hand in hand. I'm glad the nobility and their allies were taken out and guillotined. Yea some of the poo poo that happened was bad, but revolutions are messy and bloody things.

It also scared the hell out of the Catholic Church.

I genuinely am unsure if you fully know what happened in the reign of terror if you think this is a summary of what went down. Like, that's like saying the House Un American Activity Committee was actually good because it caught communists and their allies. A poo poo ton of the people murdered weren't actually part of that group.

or if they were literally anyone in arms reach when the Jacobins decided they needed to do a certain amount of bloodshed a day to keep their whole 'horrific reputation' thing going and they were behind quota at the moment.

That isn't even slander from opposition, Jacobins themselves were pretty open about constant violence being an important tool, shockingly that tended to lead to a lot of just randos being murdered.

Like I said before- some bad poo poo happened. But they also executed the French nobility. Which I think is a good thing.

pretty much. No one's gonna claim the revolution itself was a bad idea, because gently caress the king and his lackeys, but let's not pretend the time mainly dominated by a constant power vacuum filled with guys who's main objective was 'murder everyone I hate as fast as possible before I get murdered back' was actually a v. good and leftist time.

That's the revolution card game where you have to collect heads and avoid/trick your friends into beheading 'martyr' classed nobles and all, right? If so yea that game rules.
