  • Historians generally like to wait about a decade after a president leaves office before they start evaluating his presidency. Some policies take time to bloom, and there might be policies that later make that administration look better, or worse.

    In Trump’s case, he was such a terrible president, that historians pretty much installed him in last place immediately after his first term. Obviously, his second term has only confirmed what historians concluded already.

    It’s not just because his policies have been so terrible, although that alone would bury him, it’s also the fact that he’s a proven Traitor in multiple ways (the Jan 6 coup, the false electors plot, stolen documents, foreign collusion, bribery from hostile nations, etc).

    He is such a terrible president, that even Biden’s ranking has suffered, because he allowed MAGA to rise again, and allowed Trump to regain power.

    He is EASILY the worst president in history, and that is before the fact that he is likely to end up in prison or even executed, has been factored in.







  • No, a single person can nullify the jury in exactly the way you said, but that doesn’t seem to be the situation here. This wasn’t strictly going against the law. This was a case that was all about interpreting the gray area, and he interpreted it differently from the rest. The fact that 11 went one way, indicates that the gray area wasn’t so gray for most of them, but it was still a judgement call.

    Jury nullification is where the verdict is obvious, and is just, and someone just decides to ignore the facts and evidence, and still vote against it.

    My wife talks about being on a jury when she was young, and the guy was a notorious local shithead that had been robbing and assaulting people often. They finally had a good case on the guy, and laid out a perfect case, and the entire jury voted to put him away, except for one older lady who said she will NEVER vote to put a young black man in jail.

    That’s Jury Nullification.





  • If it comes down to Civil War, the military will be wildly fractured, and regional. Most of your daily danger will come from gangs of local marauders who will fancy themselves as militias. Those people can be handled with a bit of smarts and intelligence.

    Remember, MAGA always thinks they will win in one big punch. They never have a plan for the next steps, responses, consequences, etc., they never have a Plan B, and they ALWAYS think their opponent is Stupid, and will never anticipate their grade school playground plan. Use their virtuosic incompetence against them.
