Americana

We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz

Barak Obama on Iran.  How much better he was than Trump, Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden.

The mistake some make is assuming the oligarchy’s elimination of American presidents who stood in their way began with John F. Kennedy. It might have begun more than a century ago. Possibly with President Zachary Taylor.
More than a year into his presidency, Taylor vigorously opposed allowing slavery to expand into the newly acquired states seized during the Mexican War. Reps. Charles Conrad, Humphrey Marshall and Robert Toombs warned Taylor that Texas and the South were not just opposed to his policies: they were VIOLENTLY opposed.
Taylor warned the pro-slavery Texas he would use the full force of the military to prevent them from marching into New Mexico. When Secretary of War George Crawford told Taylor that he'd refuse to sign any such order, Taylor reminded Crawford that he could sign the order himself. Three days later, President Taylor fell ill and died. Two months later, now-President Millard Fillmore had given the South virtually everything it wanted in a legislative package known as the Compromise of 1850.
Many historians speculate there is ample evidence to believe Taylor could have been poisoned. This includes the intellectual titan, Michael Parenti. He believes this information is being suppressed from the public. After all, there were large amounts of arsenic discovered in him after his body was exhumed.
The oligarchic slave class in the South very well may have poisoned the 12th president. But don’t look for this theory to be taught in your children’s history class. The last thing we want people thinking is there is an oligarchy who controls the country and can murder presidents and politicians the way you and I order coffee.

Zachary Taylor was my hero when I was  8 for having conquered swathes of Mexico and because I liked the name Zachary. Neither of these seem persuasive reasons any longer.

The Dems in their present form are like a weird alliance of yesterday's Rockefeller Republicans and the New Left (although that fits if you know the history of the Congress for Cultural Freedom). The GOP is like a synthesis of the Know-Nothings of the 1850s and Wallaceites of '68, only being led by technofeudal transhumanists from Germany and South Africa, and ultra-Kahanist Israel Firsters.

This is not true at all but amusing.
