Devon Archer’s attorney said there isn't enough time for his client to prepare for Wednesday's hearing before two Republican-led House committees.

Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter Biden and a key witness in the GOP impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, has declined an invitation to appear at a public hearing Wednesday before a pair of Republican-led House panels.

Archer’s attorney Matthew Schwartz said Monday that there is not enough time for his client to prepare for the high-profile public hearing held by the House Oversight and Judiciary committees, according to a copy of a letter addressed to House Oversight counsel that was obtained by NBC News.

But only one group will hang you for angering them.

And its not the Democrats...

historically, this isn't true. i know about the southern strategy and all, but i also think it's worth pointing out who did all the lynching. fuck party loyalty.

Im not talking about hystorically, but right now...

Is this some weak attempt at "both sides bad" again? Because we have a lot of that here on lemmy recently.

strom thurmond was good friends with a certain senator from delaware. the senator who touted his state as "a slave state".

Strom Thurmond died two decades ago

yea? and his friend from delaware is in the white house.

Strom was also a Republican from 1964 until his death.

If you're trying to "both sides" this thing, Robert Byrd is the one you're looking for. He was in the KKK at one point and died 10 years after Thurmond.

Conservatives have always been the problem, regardless of party.

>If you’re trying to “both sides” this thing

i'm not. there aren't two sides. the democrats were the party of lynching. i would produce 3 democrats for every republican you can name that did it.

the democrats are bad. this is true whether republicans ever existed or continue to exist.

Cool, I bet they're all dead and irrelevant to who would do the lynching now.

who is doing the lynching now?

Conservatives. Same as always.

Democrat or Republican are shorhands nowadays, but the real problem is people who cant move on, when the world did.

Conservatism is the problem. And today, all Republicans are just entirely and idealogically that, while maybe some Democrats are to a slight degree. But practically nothing in comparisson.

Dont be Conservative. Move on. Or get left behind, like their ideas they desperately cling to.

>Conservatives.

oh? where is this lynching happening?

and i wouldn't say conservatism is the problem so much as social stratification.

i don't know what "conservative" even means, honestly. i'd just call the people you're describing "reactionaries."

Conservatives are reactionary. Per deffinition they oppose progression of the world.

This is pretty much informed simplicity at this point. Stop derping around with definitons who fail to encapsulate reality, you miss the point:

You fail to move on? Conservative! No matter how you slice it.

Whenever some GOP smooth-brain spews something about gay marriage being a sin, remember that this thing was illegal for some time. That thankfully changed, but their minds didnt.

They are stuck in a past that no longer should exist but they crave nonetheless:

Nostalgia. Not even once.

>Robert Byrd is the one you’re looking for. He was in the KKK at one point and died 10 years after Thurmond.

he's another one. but both are well-known democrats.

Except that Strom spent his last 40 years as a Republican.

i acknowledged the southern strategy at the start of this. it doesn't change who did the lynching.

The conservatives did all the lynching. The right wing people of the right wing reactionary Democratic Party of the time.

Who did the lynching???

Say it with me: CONSERVATIVES

Who's still doing the lynching??

Say it with me again for those in the back: CONSERVATIVES

The party name is irrelevant.
Nothing has changed.

The people doing the lynching were doing it because they were Klan members, not because they were Democrats, and you know this.

Extrajudicial killings based on perceived wrongs which in no way are proportionally punishable by death? Cops.
