37. I'm sure you are right about

what the policeman had to do. And Babbit was a raving lunatic not deserving of being lionized. The wrongful death award is outrageous.

Lincoln's second inaugural expressed a tone of forgiveness, but yes, Johnson was a disaster. Nevertheless, a Union congress gave us Reconstruction and Blacks were elected to office and did benefit for a while. That changed with the Tilman/Hayes election and by then a Democratic majority congress caused Federal troops to be removed from the South. The result was skulduggery that reminds one a great deal of what Republicans are like today.

I think we did just fine with the Jan. 6 traitors until Trump used the pardon. I do hope that when we turn this all around that EVERYONE culpable gets prosecuted. Everyone who followed illegal orders from top to bottom. That means Marco Rubio and the guys who set the explosives on the Venezuelan boat. Every fake elector. Supreme Court justices who gave a president immunity. ICE agents arresting people for showing up for their immigration hearings, and deporting them to foreign prisons. FOX for misinformation. All of them. And there will be more to answer for before this is all over.
