    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 12/02/2024 - 11:00 PM

    On this day, December 2nd, 1804, Napoleon used a sacred ceremony to legitimize his reign as the absolute ruler of France.

A sacred ceremony held to legitimize Napoleon's reign, the coronation signaled the birth of the First French Empire (1804-1814; 1815) and established the imperial Bonaparte Dynasty.

"You know, as I think the fear may have been misplaced, though, I think that the Democrats, including the president, Joe Biden, thought that Donald Trump would treat them like they treated him with political prosecution," Jones said.
