A Notion of Immigrants 0
Sam and crew justifiably deride Tom Homan’s lamer attempts to justify ICE’s violations of the law, due process, and the Constitution.
(Warning: The last minute or so devolves into Sam stupidly making fun of Tom Homan’s speaking patterns. It’s so stupid I considered not using the video. Nevertheless, I think the larger point about the sophistries, misrepresentations, and lies used by the Trump maladministration to justify putting persons in concentration camps for being brown outweigh the stupid, so instead I’ll suggest that you hit stop when that silliness starts and forgive Sam for his lapse of judgment.)

Afterthought:
It’s amazing and appalling that the racism of the Trump maladministration’s crackdown on rendition of immigrants to concentration camps is not getting the notice it deserves.
As David Ferguson points out on the Bob Cesca Show, they’re targeting anyoone whose skin is darker than a brown paper bag.

Now that is scriptural.
It’s just contrary to Republican policy.
Afterthought:
The mean for the sake of mean leaves one somewhat taken aback, does it not?

Dwight Eisenhower was president when I was a young ‘un. He was good and decent man.
Were he alive today, he would appalled, embarrassed beyond recognition even, to learn that his Republican Party has become the party of the Secesh.

Trump and the Watergates 0
Emma and the crew discuss how the Trump maladministration’s actions helped stall FEMA’s response to the floods in Texas, how said maladministration is attempting to wiggle out from under the facts, and how FEMA money was misappropriated diverted to pay for Trump’s Florida concentration camp “Alligator Alcatraz.”

At the Tampa Bay Times, Elizabeth Bird hears something from the past that sounds eerily like “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Republican Thought Police, Reprise 0
At Above the Law, Joe Patrice reports that Missouri’s Attorney-General is a bit peeved because he doesn’t like what some AI chatbots said. A snippet:
The common thread in each letter is that Trump ranked consistently last when the algorithms are asked, “Rank the last five presidents from best to worst, specifically in regards to antisemitism.”
Follow the link for context, and lots of it.
Aside:
Yeah, I know. AI bots don’t really “think,” at least not in any sentient, self-aware way, but, then, neither do the Republican thought pol–oh, never mind.

The editorial board of the Bangor Daily News is–er–somewhat taken aback by Trump maladministration’s and today’s Republican Party’s embrace of mean for the sake of mean.
