For the trials after the midterms.

What kind of monster does that?

Same conditions with them, except they were tortured and murdered and Stinney was executed at 14 years old. White person lied about all three.

The coward "informant" likely had one or more angles. Like their partner is seeking that poor guy's position at a workplace, or a rivalry with the man's wife. And the true crime is ICE or DHS never took it to a judge to get an actual warrant.

Although I have to admit, I kind of saw this coming, beginning in the '80s and '90s, and especially after GWB stole the 2000 election and rammed through his unAmerican "Patriot" Act.

And it hasn't stopped. In fact, it is getting worse again because everything is being purged from the history of this country regarding that abhorent mistreatment - both during and after slavery.

in 1966, one year after the Civil War Centennial ended. It made me hate my former slave state of Arkansas, even though it hadn't been a slave state in 100+ years. Arkansas finally came to terms with its past in the late '60s, and the state's Democratic Party began to distance itself from that in the '70s with New Democrats such as Dale Bumpers, David Pryor, and even Bill Clinton.

THAT is a blast from the past! Haven't heard that name in ages!!

That was in 1970, when he was running against then-Governor Winthrop Rockefeller. Even though Rockefeller was a Republican, he was a progressive in the style of Robert LaFollette. So, it was kind of a win-win situation. Bumpers won, then 4 years later he challenged the esteemed J. William Fulbright in the Democratic primary for the US Senate, and won. He went on to become a very admired US Senator.

I met him once, at a Jefferson-Jackson Day picnic in Little Flock (a small community in Benton County), and was really impressed with the man. He served Arkansas well.

and particularly when our cable (Comcast) finally added CSPAN2 (which shows the Senate), there were a number of "old school, southern gentleman" Senators like him and the indefatigable Robert Byrd.

And since you mention a Rockefeller Senator - the other liberal one was Jay Rockefeller in WV, who is sorely missed!

and they still retained SOME of their native land.

But EVERYTHING was taken from the enslaved brought here from Africa.

We have had problems with some part of the 'Thin Blue Line' lying for some time.

But anyone in this administration is just going to spout whatever bullshit they want, facts be damned.

And they are trying to prosecute James Comey for lying in a mishmash question in a senate hearing?

We now know the Statue of limitations is 5 years. These morons should remember that.

So when the day comes for accountability for their actions, no will know who they were.

The Hyde Amendment to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A note, permits criminal defendants to recover reasonable attorney’s fees (a) if they are acquitted, and (2) “if the position of the United States was vexatious, frivolous or in bad faith.” If the defendant wins, then the agency must pay the award out of its budget. https://kmlawfirm.com/2017/08/28/can-a-defendant-get-attorneys-fees-if-hes-acquitted-and-theres-prosecutorial-misconduct/#:~:text=The%20Hyde%20Amendment%20to%20the%20Equal%20Access,faith.%E2%80%9D%20Good%20luck%20proving%20that%20last%20part.

Noem must be proud.
