Didn't Robert E. Lee rejoin the regular army after the Civil War?

No. Lee's health was already in decline at the end of the war and he went off into retirement, eventually became president of the small, struggling Washington College (Now Washington and Lee).

And seriously, as Grant remained in charge of the Army, and was succeeded by Sherman, it'd be shocking if they'd have even entertained the notion. Hell, the Radical Republicans wanted to hang him, there's no way they'd have countenanced him rejoining the US army.

Law and order candidates only care about black people thuggish crimes. white people white collar crimes are fine as long as they deny there was a crime, claim the science is fraudulent/out to stifle business, or they are welly sowwie

He did a cartoon a while back about how Matt Furie doesn't own Pepe anymore, which is pretty loving rich coming from someone who complained so hard about the Zyklon Ben edits.

To be fair the CDU only barely missed getting the absolute majority in the last election and this might be the first time that Nazis are back in the Bundestag in a long time. Partially because every party pretty much wants the same thing now with slight variations except for the leftist party and people are tired of politics.
So it's not really an exciting race who's gonna win but the smaller stuff is kind of terrifying.

Fun fact: Garrison has violated Furie's copyright multiple times by being paid money to include Pepe in commissioned comics. If Furie wanted to he could sue for all the money Garrison made of any comic that was commissioned using Pepe

I know about that, yeah. The guy he sued wrote a white supremacist children's book called "Pepe and the 'Pede" or something. I am just hoping he does it to Garrison next.
