American Stasi and the Rule of Lawless 0
And it’s the right-wingers who keep harping on the “surveillance state,” except, natch, when they’re doing the surveilling.
(snip)
The ruling found that DHS did not follow the federal law requiring the agency requesting taypayer address from the IRS to have specifically identified the individual in question. The requesting agency must provide the IRS with the name and address of the person whose information it seeks to obtain. IRS failed to verify that this information had been provided in the majority of the 47,300 DHS requests.

The Bad Bunny Hop 0
John Young explains that he watched the Super Bowl Bowl half time show despite having no interest in the game itself (his favorite team didn’t make it) so as to show support for Bad Bunny and disdain for those who claim that that American citizen somehow isn’t American. Here’s a bit of his article:
“Faith”: Let us venerate the least religious — and most Bible-illiterate, and meanest — president in history, yet one who plays the religious right like a harpsichord.
“Family”: Again, we shall venerate the least family-devoted president in history — bedding multiple beauties with wife No. 3 at home, adjudicated for sexual assault and 34 felonies. Most famous quote: “Grab ‘em by the pussy.” In what chapter of the New Testament is that? Whatever, lead us in song, Kid Rock.
