History wasn't kind to Longstreet because history is written by the winners of war.

Those people who tried to rewrite history in conformance with contemporary political propaganda . That makes the Lost Cause the opposite of history.
Truth is irrelevant. perception is.

Pickett asked Longstreet, "General, shall I advance?" Longstreet recalled in his memoirs, "The effort to speak the order failed, and I could only indicate it by an affirmative bow."
Some of the many criticisms of Longstreet's Gettysburg performance by the postbellum Lost Cause authors cite this failure as evidence that Longstreet deliberately undermined Lee's plan for the battle.

Longstreet is hated town.
Although the assault is known to popular history as Pickett's Charge, overall command was given to James Longstreet, and Pickett was one of his divisional commanders. Lee did tell Longstreet that Pickett's fresh division should lead the assault, so the name is appropriate, although some recent historians have used the name Pickett–Pettigrew–Trimble Assault (or, less frequently, Longstreet's Assault) to more fairly distribute the credit (or blame).

My dad talked to him at length as a fan and I mostly just listened. We were visiting one of the battlefields because my Dad was a Civil War nut and took us everywhere to all the battlesites from Vicksburg to Gettysburg.

I just dislike him for the presidency.
Then vote for Joe Biden, because he certainly is not going to be impeached any time soon.

Clinton and Nixon were subpoenaed. They had their "day in court" because they showed up to the Congressional Hearings. Trump did not, and still will not, show up to testify in any court. The Supreme Court has recently ruled that he does not have immunity.
This is incorrect. Both Clinton and Nixon had a ruling from the Court before they showed up at the Congressional hearing. Trump has gotten no such ruling.
I get that you think Trump is evil and you wish harm upon Trump, but we are a nation of laws and due process, not mob justice just because you feel like it.
Going to Court and getting a ruling is justice enshrined in our bill of rights, not a "stall tactic"

I don't think that is true.
Then you need to read history.

Fighting the subpoenas was merely a stall tactic. Our laws about subpoenas were ALREADY in place. He can try to change the laws, but he should be an example and follow them. Clinton did. Nixon did.
Both Clinton and Nixon got their day in court.
Why is Trump so special he is beneath the law and should not also have his day in court?

Nothing in the guidlines says to stop spreading the virus with our hands by touching infected surfaces like our face and a mask with our hands.
Gloves are useless because the virus just gets spread around on the outside of the glove. Masks are useless too.

Viri will be affected by mask, and all that gets trapped in a mask. Spit, dust etc all accumlate and add to the mass of the mask and will trap some amount of viri.
As soon as you touch your mask, even to take it off or put it back on, you just made it useless because the virus is now all over your hands.

@3RU7AL
The masks do not keep people from touching their faces and touching doors.
Lol, you would think after about 50% of America getting infected with Covid, the vast majority without symptoms, that people would figure out it's not saliva or coughs spreading the virus. It's people touching their faces and then everything else.
Cones of shame would work far better than masks.

I don't believe in awarding criminal behavior in any fashion. They should have been deported immediately, years ago. The fact that immigration authorities didn't do their job well doesn't give those criminals a free pass.
2015 Bernie would have cared about poor Americans.
That was before he was purchased by the elite globalists.

@dustryder
I think in the context of DACA, Bernie has a rather different opinion.
It's especially hard to figure out what Bernie believes today as the Democrat party has shifted noticeably toward a Marxist paradigm.
All of those opinions were 2015.

Those people would not be here if not for the facilitation of open borders.
It's morally wrong to harm poor Americans as 2015 Bernie Sanders stated.

It doesn't matter how long they have been living here. They don't belong here.
Legally correct. Morally reprehensible
Do you know what youth unemployment is in the United States of America today? If you're a white high school graduate, it's 33 percent, Hispanic 36 percent, African American 51 percent. You think we should open the borders and bring in a lot of low-wage workers, or do you think maybe we should try to get jobs for those kids?
I think from a moral responsibility we've got to work with the rest of the industrialized world to address the problems of international poverty, but you don't do that by making people in this country even poorer.
