In my experience, people are not marginalized by others. They are marginalized because they don’t bring anything of value to the table.
On a topic of government, I just got this e-mail**Very interesting about Thomas Jefferson.
“Only” 3 more years... wish we could get back to Jefferson’s views on governance...
New York City Council has just made plans to remove Jefferson’s statue from “their” chambers. Why in he hell would you do that???: because he had slaves 250 years ago
If we get locked down by this Marshall Law stuff, here is something for you to read and think about.
This was back in the 1800s but still good reading today:
Thomas Jefferson (1743 - 1826)
His portrait is on the $2.00 Dollar Bill.
Thomas Jefferson was a very remarkable man who started learning very early in life and never stopped.
At 5, began studying under his cousin’s tutor.
At 9, studied Latin, Greek and French.
At 14, studied classical literature and additional languages.
At 16, entered the College of William and Mary.
Also could write in Greek with one hand, while writing the same in Latin with the other.
At 19, studied Law for 5 years starting under George Wythe.
At 23, started his own law practice.
At 25, was elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses.
At 31, wrote the widely circulated “Summary View of the Rights of British America,” and retired from his law practice.
At 32, was a delegate to the Second Continental Congress.
At 33, wrote the Declaration of Independence.
At 33, took three years to revise Virginia’s legal code and wrote a Public Education bill and a statute for Religious Freedom.
At 36, was elected the second Governor of Virginia, succeeding Patrick Henry.
At 40, served in Congress for two years.
At 41, was the American minister to France and negotiated commercial treaties with European nations along with Ben Franklin and John Adams.
At 46, served as the first Secretary of State under George Washington.
At 53, served as Vice President and was elected President of the American Philosophical Society.
At 55, drafted the Kentucky Resolutions and became the active head of the Republican Party.
At 57, was elected the third president of the United States.
At 60, obtained the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the nation’s size.
At 61, was elected to a second term as President.
At 65, retired to Monticello.
At 80, helped President Monroe shape the Monroe Doctrine.
At 81, almost single-handedly, created the University of Virginia and served as its’ first president.
At 83, died on the 50th Anniversary of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence, along with John Adams.
Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself studied, the previous failed attempts at government. He understood actual history, the nature of God, His laws and the nature of man. That happens to be way more than what most understand today.
Jefferson really knew his stuff.
A voice from the recent past to lead us in the future:
John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time. He made this statement:
“This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House, with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”
“When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.” — Thomas Jefferson
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” — Thomas Jefferson
“It is incumbent on every generation to pay its’ own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on, would save one-half the wars of the world.” — Thomas Jefferson
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them.” — Thomas Jefferson
“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.” — Thomas Jefferson
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” — Thomas Jefferson
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” — Thomas Jefferson
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” — Thomas Jefferson
“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes, the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.” — Thomas Jefferson
Something every American ought to know, may be an image of text that says ‘WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF THE LONGEST, SADDEST, MOST EXCRUCIATING AND UNSATISFYING I TOLD YOU so IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.’
By all means, put her in charge of something serious and consequential with lots of press coverage. America will eventually recover but the Democrats will not.
Marginal?
You mean, like, right on the border of something?
Marginal assignments are at least two levels above her capabilities
“Left-wing activist Al Sharpton...”
Left-wing, racist scumbag, blackmailer, tax dodger, lowlife activist Al Sharpton...
Fixed it.
Marginal assignments are at least two levels above her capabilities!
LOL!
Being Ol’ Willie Brown’s “mattress” for 20yrs has prepared her for anything but whoring her way around.
Did lollipop head complain about obama giving Biden ‘marginal assignments’?
Then that tax evader needs to STFU.
If you're liberal, you are an "activist." If you're conservative, you are an "extremist."
Put shit in, get shit out. And nothing spells incompetence like the likes of Al Sharpton doing your bidding. Surely all the pink hat wommins will just as vehmently protest men charting the first female VP’s course as they did the throwing their ‘sisters’ to the Taliwovles in Afghanistan...oh wait...
I think the assignments she has (not) done are really relevant. But it needs to be put in perspective. Consider this: a man with considerably recognized Alzheimer’s disease and/or dementia giving assignments to a person whose only recognizable talent can’t be displayed on television for the media to “blow up” (sorry) and we’ve lasted 9 months without a complete meltdown, close maybe, or starting a global war. I’d say that the two of them have done a wonderful job doing what they’re told thus staying alive and not getting taken out by the people really in charge of this charade.
The Clintons had a history of just eliminating those that were a threat or could create one just by being around. So we have established that whoever they are appeasing, they do have a talent for self preservation.

She’s a marginal person.
Marginal is too much for her...
Harris has a marginal intellect like Al.
Maybe Willy Brown told Al to go for it
That’s what happens with most Affirmative Action Hires... somebody else has to do their work.
Load designed to meet capacity. Deal with it, Al.
