Redford moved well beyond those early leading man roles and actually got involved in doing things, trying to accomplish something, and not just in film. Back in the early 1980s it was my great pleasure to share dinner (we ate from separate plates) with Tony Hillerman, author of the Joe Leaphorn novels. I asked him why he moved from Leaphorn to the then-new Jim Chee character. Well, Tony answered, the name Chee was more Navajo than Leaphorn. Then, too, he laughed, Robert Redford had bought the rights to Leaphorn. It took ages for Redford to really get that one going, but after a false start some years back it has clicked. And as for his films, so many really good ones. I never tire watching him as the intel operative tying up some loose ends coming up to retirement in Spy Game. And from their eras, hard to beat him in Butch Cassidy ... and The Sting as well as All the President's Men. See, so many. May it be finished in Beauty.

Chances are, if you've looked into the Civil War period likely seen "The Scourged Back" or some version of it as the image is quite famous. As the report above points out:

Harper's Weekly originally published the photo on Independence Day in 1863, in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg. At the time, it chronicled Gordon's escape from a Louisiana plantation before he took up arms for the Union during the Civil War, the Portrait Gallery website explains.
One journalist after seeing the image said, "This Card Photograph should be multiplied by 100,000 and scattered over the States. It tells the story in a way that even Mrs. [Harriet Beecher] Stowe cannot approach, because it tells the story to the eye," according to the Smithsonian museum.

America's convicted felon president will be at the royal pile in Windsor and the prime minister's pad at Chequers. But not London. There will, however, be salutes, uniforms, and band music in those isolated venues to keep the toddler happy. There had sometime back been a bit of talk about a speech to Parliament, but that, wisely and mercifully, fell by the wayside.

Whatever sort of do the Brit's put on and whatever idiocies Trump puts on display will probably not be enough to seriously mute the discussion to which that yuuge photo of him with his former BFF Epstein calls attention. Namely, the Epstein Coverup.

Sniveling on the way out is not a good look.
But there it is.
All propeller beanie, no cattle.

If the pope won't do it (and he won't), surely Trump could be persuaded to issue a Sharpied executive order declaring Charlie Kirk Patron Saint of Acceptable Losses to Firearms Freaks. From what he said in life, it sure sounds like something Charlie might get a kick out of in the great mystery.

How does one "defame" a thirty-four times convicted felon?

"And Ms. Comey does know a lot about the nefarious Ghislaine Maxwell"

Indeed.
Probably has a lot to do with firing her.
Comey knows the Epstein files.
That and her dad's identity did it for her.
And, so, just as fish gotta swim and lying liars gonna lie, the ...

Actually, you appear to know virtually nothing about the subject.

Evidently.

What is the significance that the shooter was in a presumably sexual relationship with his roommate who is transitioning to a woman?

You have an answer you'd care to suggest?
Or just ... trolling?

Nothing at all will happen to Kilmeade.
All he did was say the quiet part out loud.
(And Matt Dowd got canned?)
MAGAts always forgive members of the tribe.

Charlie Kirk was an extraordinarily well compensated professional hater and sheet stirrer.
That's not a capital offense, and he didn't deserve to be murdered.
But remember: he was an extraordinarily well compensated professional hater and sheet stirrer.
Collect his words, put them together, and you have a peas poor epitaph or a life.
So it goes.

But to the rest of normal thinking America, we know better.

Surely you jest. Your posts consistently reflect the narrow, bigoted, ignorance-fueled perspectives one finds ever rippling among the ranks of Dogpatch's most timid, insecure denizens; it's a doomed attempt to insulate yourselves from the rest of world which your faint hearts find so threatening.

You really do need to do some reading in reputable sources.
The Kirk-Wessel comparisons are pretty obvious.
As are the attempts to sanctify the usefully malleable shade.
