First he declared he might be a candidate for Presidency, When that was met with barely a yawn, he went job hunting. You might not have noticed but he was very high up in Joe Biden's candidacy for re-election. Since then, crickets.
If him or Mary are done stuffing their pockets working for lobbying firms, maybe Mitch can run for Senate against Cassidy.
He might have a shot if the Republicans shoot themselves in the foot and have a nasty primary.

Well sure honey, the economics of slave labor vs paid labor. Whitey wasn’t going to start paying all those Irish a living wage to harvest cotton and sugar cane when they could just buy slaves to do it. Just read all the secession declarations.
I was raised on all that lost cause bullshite too. Took me a while to get over it. The idea that 100s of thousands of men would fight and die over “economics” is kind of laughable.

They are now symbols of dumb arse leftist BS. That's what the emptiness represents much like many of their souls.

Also note, Robert E. Lee never set foot in New Orleans. Well, maybe on his way to Mexico back when he fought for the USA, before becoming a traitor, but he never defended New Orleans, like Andrew Jackson. His statue was placed there in the 1880s to remind blacks who was in charge after reconstruction ended. Why not put a statue up of someone who actually did something for New Orleans, or Louisiana?

It really made a huge difference in crime in New Orleans after all the people stopped being offended by statues.
It sure did. That’s how Teedy was able to become the world traveler 90% of her 2nd term. Rarely any crime to worry about.

The city should install stautes of the Comus dancing heads in the old Lee Circle.

Never apologize.
Never bend.
Never yield.
