It would be the Supreme Irony if TFG is prevented from holding office due to R. Nixon.

The Presidential Records Act of 1978
This act was enacted to specifically criminalize the actions R. Nixon took to destroy/withhold evidence from the Watergate Committee.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1924
18 U.S. Code § 1924 - Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material


It would be the supreme irony if TFG got convicted under this statute that was totally due to his idol in crime.



Trump’s Presidential Records Act Violations: Short- and Long-Term Solutions

https://www.lawfareblog.com/trumps-presidential-records-act-violations-short-and-long-term-solutions

On Jan. 31 and Feb. 5, The Washington Post reported that former President Trump routinely “tore up briefings and schedules, articles and letters, memos both sensitive and mundane” in violation of the Presidential Records Act (PRA)

More specific to records, 18 U.S.C. § 2071 makes it a felony to willfully and unlawfully remove, mutilate or destroy—or to attempt to remove, mutilate or destroy—any record deposited in any public office or with any public officer of the United States. That same provision also makes it a felony for anyone having custody of such records to remove, mutilate or destroy those records and imposes severe consequences: a violation requires the individual to “forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.

There is Dignity in South Dakota.

Thought this is a fitting OP for Juneteenth 'remembering'. Native Americans also have a heritage worth remembering.

We saw this on our travels to the Dakotas last summer. It is truly stunning. It is on the bank of a river, believe the Missouri. The view is also awesome.

The colors of the statue change hue depending on the lighting conditions - it really is a piece of art worth seeing. A really great tribute to The Sioux.

Negativism and apathy lead to low voter turnouts. That is a fact.

Whether or not the posters on a frigging internet discussion board really have any effect on that turnout at all is, well, fodder for discussion.

Me, I prefer to follow a part of DU's stated purpose, which is to ENCOURAGE VOTER TURNOUT.

Others obviously feel differently, and that is ok.

It's all good.

It's a message board on the internet. Nothing more or less.

Personally, I could sincerely give a hoot about negative posters, (more like a virtual shrug); but ...

I Do care about negative REALITY. So to all yinz in the real world, #GOTV2022! You WILL make a difference there.
