Bad bunny loves the world and the world loves him back. The quivering quislings are putting down payments on the rock under which they hope to crawl for the next 50 years.

Not my experience .. nothing like watching senior univ. faculty toppling junior faculty for sport. But when no one but a newbie wanted the dean position, said new dean wasted no time attacking those with greatest accolades & grants (case of classic b person threatened by the a people). I left.

Warrantless arrest/unreasonable search & seizure, assault & battery, destruction of private property, failure to consider children’s welfare, false accusation, lying to the public to justify exceptional mistreatment & deny civil rights .. be better if criminal charges could be brought. Midterms?

Deporting immigrants is the one way for conservatives to finally lay waste to the entire New Deal—openly a long-stated goal. Dem appeasers know this but act like it’s just granddaddy w/ dementia running around in boxers, watching porno on tv & he is not going to fire off his loaded gun. He will.

Yeah — and a five-year-old child besting a bunch of paramilitary-styled thugs has got to hurt. Their feelings. In the PR game, however, who can think this is a clever strategy move? (Except their best-pal lobotomizer bots.)

Yes, of course, to the question — but, no, we have to prove the fascist-enabling right is not so bad. Better than ever supporting the left (tho centrist sycophants are quite ok). Four-decade reader and they daily exhaust me with their parade of inane headlines and reason-innoculating shibboleths.

And the unabomber didn’t even know about Gelertner’s nefarious (post facto?) associations .. did he?

Dear hearts .. let’s presume they are a mix - the hired help, the secretarial dogs’ bodies, the private yoga instructors, masseuses, nail/facial/hair beauticians, on-call plastic surgeons, and all-inclusive MIT-grad nannies .. but perhaps also the children?

They are the “neoliberal” wing of the Democratic party — or so far to the right of liberal as to qualify as traditional conservatives, in the Ike vein. And what gets branded as radical left is identical to Western Europe’s mainstream parties. I side with them, but what is missing is hardcore left.

Like establishing parameters for crocodiles .. “you will stay on that side of the room and I will stand safely over here — whoops! You bit my head off, damn”(says head now deep within crocodile belly). Seriously? They are a rogue private army that needs to be put down.

The nation-state, with its inflexible borders and absurd conflation of circumscribed territory with homogenous ethnicity, is a modern invention that (outside of the limited fortress structure) had no corollary in ancient times. Empires were multifarious with blurry boundaries. Johnson is an idiot.

That this administration has created a private army unbeholden to the laws, that it has weaponized the DOJ to persecute political opponents, that it is intent on trampling the Bill of Rights and — failing to terrorize us — will try every wile to hijack the midterms, I’d guess yes.

Shut down ICE and haul leaders & agents both into court. Between unwarranted/ malicious assault & battery, kidnapping, and “deprivation of rights under color of law” there should be plenty to keep them locked up for a good long time. Perpetuity even.

Just like the children’s cancer foundation he founded once upon a time with his own kiddies, barely a dime of which went to research or services or children with cancer.

And name it Trump Arch atop which his effigy rides a giant steed with tiny hooves, while sporting confederate insignia. Or maybe a 90s style stretch limo in which the voices of little girls scream to be freed. Or we could hoist up the gold-laminated jet from Qatar and place it preferably nose down.
