Love this reminder of the roots of the Big Lie. Nothing exudes white inferiority like Trump, Stone, Bannon, Giuliani…..

Just became a "Paid Subscriber" to help with the enormous requirements for the job you guys do to provide such quality reporting inside America's courtrooms. Adam Klasfeld is such a pro at "decoding" the laws and arguments that are presented in the courtrooms. Thank you.

So important to go back in time as you have done to let younger people and others know this history. thank you

Thanks, Adam. Keep pounding history like this for your readers, especially the younger ones who may not have learned it. And for the rest of us "grown-ups" (so called) who need refresher courses under this regime which is hell bent on making us forget everything and anything that might cause one to question authority. ..."Boxer was forgotten, except by the few who had known him" - George Orwell - "Animal Farm"

Another compellingly written article Adam! Thank you. I usually get through these in short time, but kept getting distracted by either the cat or the opening ceremonies. Hope you have a good weekend. Are you traveling next week?

Thanks so much! Yes, I’m going to St. Paul next week for the cases of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort and the civil rights protesters they documented. All are getting arraigned a week from today.

If the worst abuses of human rights are discussed, they should include the American Genocide. 98% of the First Nations' populations died through war, disease, starvation and homicide at the hands of willing settlers intent on occupying their lands. And then we get into water rights that are still being negotiated and renegotiated along with oil and minerals. Reparations are in order, and not only in Tulsa. A good start would be rereading the 370 to 374 ratified treaties made with Indian tribes, none of which, none, zero of which has been honored by the US government.

Trump’s father was a racist and a bigot. He marched with the KKK so Trump’s racism and bigotry was cultivated at a very early age. So the apple didn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to his racism and bigotry. Trump’s additional skills to attack, counterattack, and never apologize were learned early in his political career from Roy Cohn, his political mentor.

This farce so out in the open, of a very sick president, needs to end. Not only for his good but mainly for the good of all.
