Why?

Because anarchy is the tyranny of a whole population against each other. — Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali, 12th century Persian philosopher.

100 years of standard Obama-Biden tyranny does less damage than 1 year of Trumpist chaos.

IOW: what took a century to build up can be destroyed in short order by lack of vigilance against fascism.

The U.S. Constitution's Army Clause (Article I, Section 8) requires that congressional appropriations to raise and support armies must be for a term no longer than two years.

They feared standing armies.

The Founders were more radical anti-fascists than common knowledge would expect.

Well, it’s not analyzing the video so much as just summarizing what ICE is saying about the incident.

Kidnapping Sinaloa style.

Trump has brought Mexican gang violence to the U.S. — by authorizing them to kidnap Americans.

Spending the $1.5 largely obviates the need for billions for rural hospitals. 🙄

Decades of SCOTUS ignoring the original intent of the Founders and the plain text of the Constitution on a range of crime-related matters have brought us to this abolishment of liberty.

Just go back to basics where a standing army was feared and the Feds did little policing.

Ergo, Republicans packed the Supreme Court.

It’s time for Democrats to unpack it.

I can tell you that the regulatory mindset is to return the company to (voluntary) compliance instead of punishing the company severely for (voluntary) non-compliance.

That is a captured regulator that thinks it is there to help industry rather than protect the public.

Normally, the newspaper would have a box on the front page dedicated to the most recent signs of Trump’s decline. <Trump Watch>

“Yesterday, the president confused Alice Cooper with Muhammad Ali (twice), and put a hamburger bun on his head, apparently mistaking the bread for wet weather gear.”
