Danton is remembered by some to be a loyal and honorable patriot who was instrumental in bringing down the french monarchy, but was betrayed by his compatriots. Then there are others who believe him to be a scoundrel who used the revolution to enrich himself and his cronies.
How is Danton remembered by the french today? Do they revere him as a hero or put him in the same category as robespierre?
Not sure if this is an appropriate question, but do the mods have any recommendations for good books on Danton and his revolutionary career?
I've grown fascinated with Danton and his role in the French Revolution. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any contemporary transcripts or reports of his trial.
I only ask because he seems to be such a pivotal man in the revolution up until the point he got his head chopped off. I was wondering if the Americans had an opinion of him, and his execution?
Do your worst!
It really does, I swear!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
