American Stasi 0

From the Youtube page:

A Texas federal judge wasn’t buying ICE’s story after bodycam footage exposed a wildly exaggerated arrest. In a scathing ruling, the Bush-appointed judge blasted DHS for pushing a “largely fictional” case that could’ve sent a Honduran immigrant to prison for 20 years — all after an agent injured himself while smashing a car window. The case was thrown out, but the disturbing implications for civil rights and unchecked immigration enforcement remain. Rick Strom breaks it down.

“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

In a letter to the editor of the Las Vegas Sun, Kimball Shinkoskey listens to the man who would be king and hears a rhyme from a millennium ago. A couplet:

In its present Trumpian form, the new boundaries established by rogue nations the world over are essentially made permanent without a peace conference and without ongoing international supervision. This more resembles the medieval “right of conquest” of kings.

War and Mongers of War 0

At Above the Law, Mark Hermann isn’t buying the Trump maladministration’s rationale–irrationale would be more like it–for attacking Venezuelan fishing boats on the open sea. Here’s a tiny bit of his post:

Trump can say the operation off the shores of Venezuela is meant to stop crime, but it’s nothing of the sort. It’s an effort to appeal to emotionally underdeveloped morons who feasted on “Dirty Harry” films in their youth and think it’s cool when vigilantes kill the bad guys.
