Laptop tab clearance...

Well, a browser crash cleaned out my desktop tabs for me quite some time ago, but my laptop browser is slowing down under the weight of tabs, so let's clear some out...

A reminder that white supremacists will say or do anything to strike at their enemies. They don't care about justice or law except where it serves their ends.

NBC and Weinstein: Rich white men look after their own.

A glimpse in the mind of President Used Car Salesman.

What the two previous articles have in common. Simply put, we enable abusers in America.

Another thing Trump and Weinstein have in common: organized and criminal cover-ups of their wrongdoing.

Glimpses into the minds of people who, despite all the evidence, despite everything, still support Trump. And the reaction other people have to those people.

ALL OF THIS. And more, probably. Republican policies are intended to concentrate wealth and crush the poor... and Democrats have failed to provide any serious pushback, never mind policies that would actually fix the problem. (And no, job training is NOT a solution, not when you're training people to compete with China and India and when the jobs in question will never come to the people being trained.)

And this is WHY Democrats have no answers: their leadership is filled with the same kind of people who are squeezing the rest of us.

Yet another chapter in the politicization of the bench. Electoral politics have no place in a courtroom NONE. (This judge will be on the bench until at least 2021, by the way.)

Burger King says no to bullying... sandwiches.

Fascism spreading around the world...

Yet another reminder that when a conservative says "voter fraud", what they mean is, "only wealthy white men should vote." (And incidentally, this isn't the only con game Kris Kobach is involved in.) (Not that he's the only Republican blocking people from voting...nor is this in any way a recent development...)

A reminder of how Republicans got this way.

You know how Trump just ordered his attorney general to perform selective declassification of FBI records in order to prove the Russia investigation was politically motivated? Not the first time he's declassified records for purely political ends. This is what a dictator does.

And you know how Trump is rumored to be considering pardoning war criminals? Might be because he doesn't think it's a crime to kill families of terrorists or innocent bystanders."Not white" is enough for him. And he knows his followers agree.

This is another thing dictators do: attempt to change the facts to match their beliefs.

 All part of the Big Lie Trump is employing, a tactic which his supporters embrace wholeheartedly.


 That's going to do it for this one...
