Me too. What is really spooky is I was just looking up the Hahn/Rice/Hall troika on Wikipedia the other day. Hahn was the only one who posed for Playboy.

That is a spooky coincidence. Interesting research you're doing. Those were the days.

Would help if certain people remembered to use their microphones.

I'm not sure that anyone who supports the French Revolution can be redeemed.

Maybe its my computer/speakers, but at times Kmele's audio sounds odd. His voice sounds like 1990's black comedians doing impressions of white people.

Ain't no party like a Jefferson party.

I think I got used to sick Kmele, he sounds like he's been hitting the helium. If course it could be his balls

The reason for the old school state sites are that they are required to be easily loadable by the folks who are in dial up only areas of a state so all residents have access. Its frustrating but meh , it makes sense.

I’m only 5 minutes in but I already need to comment. One episode of Douglas Murray’s Uncanceled History series featured historian Jean Yarbrough talking about Jefferson.

And she totally did that shit!

“We only know it was one of the Jefferson males” etc. It actually got worse though.

She went on to say that historian Annette Gordon Reed’s theory that Jefferson and Hemings might have actually been in love was an attempt to defend/rationalize Bill Clinton’s behavior since the Lewinsky scandal was in the news at the time. (This was the 90s and the Jefferson/Hemings DNA evidence had recently come out).

On some level she was trying to make the case that the theory of a consensual relationship was cooked up by the left to defend a Democratic president, when in actuality, any theory of their relationship being consensual would run against accepted lefty orthodoxy. (That Jefferson was a rapist full stop).

Obviously I don’t know what their relationship was, but this framing by Yarbrough was clearly a stretch. And, sadly, there was no pushback from Murray (who I generally like). Crazy shit.

Here’s Yarbrough making similar points in print.

The feller what said the "slaughter" quote is also, interesting to me in my own bubble, one of the biggest donators to Scientology, since it also came up in passing during the episode.

I regret to inform Moynihan that ASP.NET is relatively fast.

Worth noting that prosecutions of voter fraud is going to be driven entirely by prosecutorial discretion and based on who local law enforcement wants to investigate (which is obviously also discretionary). And of course they're going to look first at the people alleging voter fraud.

Jessica Hahn was also famously in Howard Stern’s Tribute to Vagina. Back when he was edgy and/or funny.

Jessica Hahn was with a preacher. Fawn Hall was with Ollie North.
