Blue! Jack Johnson! There's A Riot Goin' On! Songs of Love and Hate! Hunky Dory! Tago Mago! The Fillmore albums by Aretha and the Allmans! Pretty rich vein there.
Who's Next, Tupelo Honey, Muswell Hillbillies. You could do this for a while.

I mean, these lies are too obvious and unsophisticated to rise to the level of "gaslighting"
Particularly ridiculous is his attempt to treat "negligence" and "incitement" as separate questions. Trump's negligence on 1/6 is very strong evidence that the insurrection was the intended and desired result of his 77 days of incitements!
The Slave Power, Taney Court very much included, were true pioneers in the “look at how you forced us to do what we would have done anyway” school of rhetoric now being used to defend Senate Republicans
Just an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court writing the incoming president to inform him that the Court was about to rule that the primary opposition party was organized for an illegal purpose, all very normal
I think I've said this before, but my favorite detail about Dred Scott is that Taney was so upset about being brutally owned by Curtis and McLean that he insisted on completely re-writing the opinion he read at oral argument and wouldn't let them see it before it was published
This, precisely. The kinds of economic problems generally identified here -- unpaid tax liens, credit card debt, past bankruptcies -- are perfectly consistent with the resentment over losing status that is the critical driving force of Trumpism
Baker v. Carr day, so we can discuss Felix Frankfurter essentially losing his mind in fury over losing, even though his dissent is premised on one of the most transparently stupid arguments in the history of the U.S. Reports
"Appellants invoke the right to vote and their votes counted. But they are permitted to vote and their votes counted. Their complaint is simply that President Putin has created a basis of representation with which they are dissatisfied."
And, yet, Roberts would basically recycle Frankfurter's logic in Rucho, denying citizens in states like Wisconsin anything resembling a democratic election. Whee!
This "Donald Trump was grossly corrupt so we need to invent new arbitrary ad hoc standards to declare that prominent Democrats are also corrupt" genre of quasi-journalism needs to die in a fire
This is a laughably incoherent and unworkable standard. Countless books every year are published based on contingent fame, who gives a shit
Taken at face value, the "but for election outcomes" standard would mean that it was corrupt and unethical to publish *Mary* Trump's book. I don't think anybody actually believes this
