#USpol #politics #BoardofPeace Of course the Trump proposal is absurd, but tonight, Michael McFaul made observations I hadn't considered about that 1 billion$ entry fee (on top of which was Trump's invitations to the countries he claims are a threat therefore he must have Greenland).
It's to screen out from the club nations that are also not the top most powerful, thus rendering all other nations those that can be bullied into compliance. That pretty much rules out Israel, particularly the Israel-independent-of-the-US that Netanyahu has been shooting for. Yeah--The Bully-Boys Club.
Since it's going to be a room full of alpha males, each claiming dominance in their own realms, I think it would be quite interesting to see which alpha male dominates the other alpha males. Don't you believe there won't be a king-of-the-hill fight over just that alone. Trump fancies himself to be the dominant because he's setting himself up to run the table, and I'll bet that arrangement won't last longer than from 12 to noon. We shall see. But grab your popcorn first.
#USpol #politics #immigration It's what Rachel Maddow said tonight which prompts this post; I'm about to take a bird's eye view beginning with the Obama Administration, because please recall that he still did a lot of deportations, but at the same time recall that he took in a lot of Middle Eastern refugees, which settled in the southern tier states because of climate/acclimation issues.
Those were the "red states" that became increasingly resentful of immigration, refugees or not--it was diluting their thusfar solid White Voter base. Recall also they're notoriously religion intolerant against Muslims in particular. Now--considering the saying about the long arc of history bends toward justice--Maddow reports that municipalities aren't issuing permits for building new detention centers. You'd think that cities in "blue states" could be expected to do this, but, figurin

You'd think that cities in "blue states" could be expected to do this, but, figuring that "red state" cities would welcome this sort of thing, well...it amounts to all those alleged "worst of the worst" coming home to roost in the very geographical locations that voted to have them removed.
The people who applaud #ICE arrests are finding that the arrested are intended to be sent to detention centers in their own friggin' back yards. #KARMA
Given the recent explosion in numbers of innocent citizens murdered by those who purport to be government in places like Iran, West Africa, Isreal, and Michigan, I wonder: Do the anti-gun nuts still think normal, innocent people shouldn't have any way to defend themselves?
Do you really think that ICE could possibly be this nonchalant about violating citizens' rights in a city with 80-90% gun ownership?
That's been done numerous times by B grade horror filmmakers, now providing fodder for shows like Svengoolie. Not to disrespect the dead, but I found This Is Spinal Tap one such movie; its target audience is people like groupies and stans, and I'm neither.
In case you were wondering how bad a dystopian corpo-police state the US has become, my metropolitan area has less than 200,000 people, and this is what its map looks like just for the License Plate Cameras from one corporation!
January 16th is 'Hatsu Enma' (初閻魔), a big holiday for hell. It was on this day, mirroring the break taken by public officials immediately after the end of traditional New Year observances, that the King of Hell opened the lids of the cauldrons in the underworld. #初閻魔
