      1. US HAS NARROWEST POLITICAL SPECTRUM IN HUMAN HIST‏ @DoItForMaMa Apr 5
        Replying to @BeschlossDC

        Reminder: domestic CIA political assassinations can narrow the political dialogue accessible to the majority of the population, thereby leading to "the political center" moving incrementally rightward over time as corporations alone determine what news reaches enough to matter.

        Look at that. A POTUS & First Lady, fully dressed after 8 p.m., monitoring a situation of national import. I miss having a President that cared - no matter their reason for caring.

        jackson used to be loved by the democrats, that why all their big dinners are called “jefferson-jackson”. hell, lincoln also took his insperation to fight the confederacy based on Jackson’s action during the nullification crisis. There’s a lot of grey in american history.

        Very interesting picture. Lack of emotion seemingly but the room is filled with conflicting thoughts with one exception the others are thinking about their next move

        Morning announcements this day 50 yrs ago in MoCo schools. Do not go into Washington, DC. Very eerie at the time.

        Ironic that a portrait of anti-abolitionist Andrew Jackson hangs over the row of televisions broadcasting the news of Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination.
