When Trump posthumously pardoned Jack Johnson after Obama refused to do it. Like Congress, famous boxers, even loving John McCain petitioned him and passed resolution after resolution asking him to do it but apparently Obama thinks breaking anti-miscegenation laws is a step too far.

e:

quote:

Gavin Parke, a former senior leadership staffer for Reid, said that his early impression was Obama didn’t want to act on Johnson out of political discomfort. “[R]eading between the lines,” he emailed The Daily Beast, “our conjecture was that they didn’t want to engage in divisive racial issues that were largely symbolic.” But the main reason that Obama held back, Parke added, was out of a rigid dedication to preserving norms. “The Obama White House was stringently opposed to the pardons process becoming politicized in any way. They felt so strongly about that, it may have extended even to posthumous pardons.”

trump got elected by promising to own the libs, and he certainly fulfilled that promise up to and including the libs' beloved king. too bad about everything else he's ever done or said, though.

you have maybe 5% of the people who voted trump sad because he said he’d do infrastructure and bring back coal mining jobs or he’s taking away the aca or whatever, but he mostly ran on owning libs and moderate republicans and he’s proceeded to do exactly that

the right wing legal project has made it so that the president is literally the least important part of the operation so having a public strongman face who can publicly own the libs and feel zero shame is ideal, and the rest of the party does the dirty work of disassembling the country

it’s fascinating that liberals can’t understand why he’s so loving popular with the republican base. like, of course he is! and it’s not going away! he’s their unrestrained id and they live vicariously through him viciously tearing through their posting enemies

Trig Paxson Van Palin is the couple's youngest child. According to governor's spokeswoman Sharon Leighow in a statement shortly after his birth, Trig is Norse and means "true" and "brave victory." Paxson is a region in Alaska the couple favors, while Van is a nod to the rock group Van Halen. Before Trig's birth, his mother had joked about naming her son Van Palin, a play on the band's name.

Trig's birth was a source of controversy and blogosphere rumors. Palin, according to her book "Going Rogue," didn't tell anyone about her pregnancy with their fifth child except her husband. There were rumors that Bristol, not Sarah, was Trig's mother, but the allegations were largely disproved.

long-time republican michael bloomberg ran for president as a democrat :siren:this year:siren: because it looked like no one would stop bernie. bloomberg promised to keep his staff paid for through the election regardless of how he did in the primaries. he ate poo poo and promptly stopped paying his staff
