there's a fake Trump quote about Republicans being the dumbest group of voters, supposedly from a People magazine interview he did in the early-mid 1990s. he didn't actually say it in that interview but I imagine he might've said it in private

Robert Caro's series on LBJ is really infuriating during the parts where he covers the conservative coalition during the New/Fair Deal Era. Conservative senators, especially in the South, could get away with anything as long as they kept Civil Rights and other progressive bills at bay. This allowed them to control committees through seniority and simply amassing experience with parliamentary tricks, patronage, and networking. First-term liberals were harder to keep in office, because their voters expected immediate results and tended to lose enthusiasm if they failed to produce or compromised.

It puts things into perspective when you realize just how much FDR and Truman failed to accomplish, given how we think of them today. It does make LBJ's power plays a lot more satisfying in the end, even if he was (and had) a colossal dick.

History is both comforting and infuriating for the same reasons: poo poo constantly repeats itself, and humans are incapable of meaningful change in any sort small window of time.

Fun syphilis talk fact.

The Virus is unusually sensitive to heat. So a severe fever can kill it.

Enter the early 20th century treatment of 'Fever Therapy'.

In which a neurosyphilitic patient was deliberately infected with Malaria in the hopes that the fever would fry the syphilis then the Malaria could be brought back under control with quinine.

25% success rate! Which TBF is way better than the previous rate of 0%. Guy who came up with it was Dr Julius Wagner-Jauregg. Got the Nobel prize for medicine.

Isn't there some legalese about what "technically" counts as an officer of the United States and the president is not mentioned for some reason, leaving it up to interpretation? I'm not saying it's a good argument lol just that this has been brought up a few times in the last few months.

It would be fatal to our country if the supreme court ruled both that presidents are fully immune to being prosecuted for anything and not actually under oath to act in the best interests of the USA, so I don't think they're likely to do so but I do think it would be hilarious

Some of them, yeah. Hamilton was a monarchist sympathizer. He wanted the president to rule for life as a monarch, like the English (/Great Britain ) system.


Yeah it is easy to say it is ironic that guy has a loving musical about him, but it shouldn't be because that should be expected.

It will be loving hysterical and also very sad if SCOTUS rules against him and he continues to send out fundraising emails claiming to be appealing.

Edit: someone find that tweet where a guy posits that trump will someday look right into a camera and swear he never ran for president.
