Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I didn't have the characters to provide an opinion in my initial post on this. Obviously, blowing up boats and murdering their occupants while claiming they're drug runners is an insane thing to do.
The CG has been conducting drug interdiction for decades without resorting to just bombing boats.

(7/7) The CG still has a long way to go when it comes to dealing with sexual assault, and any movement towards accountability and justice is a good one. But this seems like a way to virtue signal and to legitimize a previous questionable decision - the removal of ADM Fagan.

(6/7) I can't claim to know the CG's reasoning for releasing this statement and claiming ownership for these changes, but I do have to wonder if it is an attempt to legitimize the removal of ADM Fagan by claiming programs previously in place as new and improved.

(5/7) As one of his first actions in office, Trump removed ADM Fagan as the Commandant. The cited reason was lack of confidence due to how she handled Operation Fouled Anchor. And yet, the current CG leadership is claiming credit for her victories in working towards accountability.

(2/7) At first glance, this email does not appear to include anything new. The CG is reiterating that sexual assault is not acceptable, and stating their commitment to prevention and response to sexual assault cases. At face value, this is positive.

"The VA just finalized a new abortion ban policy that, once again, excludes exceptions for rape or incest and offers only vague assurances that it will intervene if our lives are at risk. They initially implemented this enormous change in secret without telling veterans or their families."
"In effect, it returns the VA to what was once the most extreme abortion ban in the country—an outright prohibition on care and counseling that applies to every VA facility nationwide, regardless of state law."

Good. Hoping for justice in all the regime's cases of blatant murder - it won't bring the victims back, but their families deserve for the killers to be held accountable.
