"I’d love for Lindsey Graham to tell us which decade had the most traditional political violence. I’m guessing it’s" 1960-1970 when only Democrats were murdered.

Well, in the Nineties, Timothy McVeigh killed how many? 200? people in the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing. Many of them were children in its childcare center. And in the Sixties, I'd look real hard at J. Edgar Hoover for responsibility for murdered Democrats.

And it would have been more if Timothy McVeigh had social media and other lunatics on the internet to conspire with

I used to the think him, WACO, Branch Dividians, Ruby Ridge, and the others were "fringe" groups. Now I realize they have been here all along.He and these groups were obviously the beginning of Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and all of the rest of them. It's guns and social media and the internet where all these crazies have found each other.

Traditional political violence Lindsey? You mean when they used to take boys like you out back and beat the shit out of them for being gay or suspected of being gay? Or did you prefer the lynchings of black men and boys? Perhaps the cross burnings? Or maybe the witch burnings?

Expand full comment
Bob's avatar

“Traditional political violence”?

Like the JFK, Medgar Evers and MLK Jr. killings. Let’s see, lone gunman firing a rifle with a scope from a hidden location. Or how about Lincoln, McKinley and RFK Jr.? Lone gunman with a pistol able to get right next to the target because of lax security? Or maybe he means when company goons, or state militias or the Klan would open fire on workers; the dozens and dozens of events span more than 125 years, from 1850 to 1979. Which one is traditional, Lindsay?

Then she was likely a widow or spinster with a little money or property, as most accused witches were.

Spinster, yes, but of the Ayers family, who came on the Mayflower and were relatively prestigious.

Expand full comment
Denise Donaldson's avatar

That makes sense. The estates of accused witches---who rarely survived their trials, one way or another---were almost always forfeit to their towns. Many of the trials were merely excuses to boost the town coffers, and widows and spinsters were the easiest prey.

that particular dimwit can only comprehend daddy's blithering gibberish. They were literally brought up to think he wuz a 'genius'. Ivana was Czechoslovakian so maybe even SHE didn't recognize that she'd married a moron until much later on (after he'd repeatedly cheated on and then raped her/yanked out CLUMPS of her hair for 'daring' to refer him to a doctor for his scalp reduction surgery because 'it hurt' the whiny baby? I was able to visualize that entire scenario (having been there) and it's beyond horrid. When I read her original account I believed EVERY word. She was forced to retract/soft pedal it under an NDA. One of MY many reasons to despise him. PS: despite Melania likewise not having such a great grasp of Eengleesh, their son is enrolled at NYU (just switched to the DC branch) but NYU is one of THE most liberal Universities which seems 'odd' but might actually help get him out from under? I do make fun of him being considered 'Damien' but he's old enough now to hopefully see through his OLD man?

THIS is what Lindsey Graham is thinking about - good old "traditional political violence:

September 15, 1963 - At 10:22 on Sunday, a bomb ripped through the all black 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, killing 4 young girls and wounding one getting ready for Sunday Service. Four white men, Thomas Blanton, Robert Chambliss, Herman Cash, and Bobby Frank Cherry, from the Cahaba River Group, which had splintered off from another Ku Klux Klan group because they didn’t think it was aggressive enough, were the bombers. The FBI investigation ended without indictments, and it wasn't until 2001 that ALL the bombers (except Cash who died of old age) were finally indicted, tried, and convicted.
