Last surviving son of the 16th President of the United States. Fiercely Independent, they all suck.

2021 but still relevant today!
"THERE ARE DAYS WHERE I GET DISCOURAGED. THERE ARE MOMENTS WHERE I AM DEEPLY, DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED. AND, YES, THERE HAVE BEEN MOMENTS WHERE I HAVE STOPPED AND SAID, 'IS THIS WORTH IT ANYMORE?' AND EVERY TIME I DO THAT, I LICK MY WOUNDS FOR A WHILE, SOMETIMES I CRY. AND THEN I SAY, ‘OK, LET'S FIGHT." JUSTICE SONIA SOTOMAYOR YES SHE CAN

One of the main reasons for my trip was to find this place—the original burial site of Lincoln’s lost love or “the place where Lincoln wept.” Made it there at the sun’s last light. Beautiful place.
1990s(?) Marker for Ann Rutledge (spelling it Anna which I have not seen before…), 1/7/1813-8/25/1835, where Lincoln wept A small flag pole and a few old grave markers The cemetery viewed from a nearby hill. A couple big old trees and some farms. Twilight

“The distance between what is said, and what is known to be true, has become an abyss…The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands - we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.”

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867
A bad President, for instance, has the power to do what? What can he not do? If he wanted to revolutionize this government, he could easily do it with this ponderous power; it would be an auxiliary power. He could cry “havoc, and let slip the dogs of war,”29 and say to the conspirators: “I am with you. If you succeed, all is well. If you fail, I will interpose the shield of my pardon, and you are safe. If your property is taken away from you by Congress, I will pardon and restore your property. Go on and revolutionize the government; I will stand by you.” The bad man will say or might say this. I am not sure but we have got a man now who comes very near saying it. Let us have done with this pardoning power. We have had enough of this. Pardoning! How inexpressibly base have been the uses made by this power—this beneficent power. It has been that with which a treacherous President has trafficked. He has made it the means of securing adherents to himself instead of securing allegiance to the government.

Good night 😴

War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

The fact that 1/3 of eligible voters didn’t bother to show up isn’t the argument you think it is. Apathy is going to be the nail in the coffin.

Half of the United States has been slowly and carefully inculcated by Fox News to believe that the other half of the country is their enemy and out to ruin their lives. Once this was established, it didn't take long for those viewers to value hurting these other Americans over helping themselves.

The people spun up about a hypothetical third Trump term would be much better off focusing on...**waves arms wildly in all directions**...the present reality of a Trump second term.

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:
I just now got off the phone with Allan Schappert, the author of this letter. He’s not on social media. When I shared how his letter has travelled, he said, “I’m gobsmacked.” He wrote to share his story, and perhaps to let other veterans know they’re not alone, and he’s amazed that he touched a nerve. “The pen is mightier than the sword!” exclaimed this pilot who once wielded the nuclear sword at the controls of an American B52. Whew. He thanks you, Peter, for sharing his words. Allan and I have plans to grab a beer together this weekend.
