    Go figure. Conservative judge does everything she can to delay the trial, and then postpones it, making sure no new judge will be able to catch up with the case in time for the election.

    It’s fucked up how overtly horrid and traitorous conservatives are nowadays - the founding fathers put too much faith in people when they made that constitution.

      That’s why they designed it as a living document to be amended all the time. Hamilton wanted us to change our government every 10 years or so to keep it modern.

      The confederate shitbags who wormed their way onto our government had other ideas.

          Legitimate question… I thought Operation Paperclip just brought over the Nazi scientists after WWII? What am I missing? We’re there politicians or other Nazi party members included?

            In all, more than 1,600 Nazis were given safe haven in the United States so their skills and knowledge could be exploited to maintain American military superiority.

            They were also recruited by intelligence agencies during the Cold War.

                There’s a book by Eric Lichtblau called the Nazis Next Door that explores it.

                The CIA helped other Nazis gain access to the US to covertly collect information on Communists as part of an overzealous Cold War policy. Elizabeth Holtzman described the book as a “fast paced, important book about the justice department’s efforts to bring Nazi war criminals in the United States to justice that also uses recently declassified facts to expose the secret, reprehensible collaboration of U. S. intelligence agencies with those very Nazis”. source
