  • Moreover, Alexander H. Stephens and West Hughes Humphreys were never found guilty of a crime, there was no court case or conviction against them.

    They participated in an insurrection, rebellion, and gave aid or comfort to enemies. (Stephens was the vice president of the CSA and Humphreys was a judge). Folks in congress didn’t want to be sitting next to a guy who just a few months ago was trying to kill them, so they started writing Section 3. It did not require a crime to be tried or a court ruling to be made, they participated in a rebellion and that’s enough.

    Okay the constitution isn’t written for people to wriggle out on technicality.


  • That’s how I try to keep things in perspective, by saying - was I any different?

    Yes I think it’s all stupid and annoying, literally everything about tiktok which the kids are soooo involved with, minecraft, fortnite, however they’re dressing these days. Stupid and annoying, all of it.

    But hey there was a time when my digi-pet was the most important thing I owned, my beanie babies were “an investment”, could easily play Halo for 12 hours straight, I wore giant jnco jeans with chains on them, and listened to Limp Bizkit.

    So, was I any different? Nah, it’s the same.


  • I got that a while back talking about old video games. “Eww you played DOS games? What a boomer”

    No, no that makes me mad. I was learning to navigate the DOS shell to set up Duke Nukem (skills I still use at my job today) while my boomer parents yelled at me to stop wasting my life on the computer and come in the living room to watch another six hours of Bonanza reruns.

    That’s the difference. Bah, burns me up
