Did you mean this as the "right opportunity" for you to escape to Canada?

LOL I love the "materials attempting to cross our border" bit. I envision sentient boxes with lots of little legs madly trundling across the desert...

@KanaW: No doubt those boxes are made of Sapient Pearwood. Border agents had best avoid them entirely. ;-)

Seafury, I don't think it will help. After getting turned down for the military during the Vietnam war as a "politial subversive" because of my long record as an antwar protester, I don't think they will want me.

Sure. Entirely right for you. The easiest way to destroy a system is from the inside. This is why Trump's selections are so egregiously destructive. Hire a person to run the EPA that simply doesn't believe in environmental protection. A Postmaster that doesn't believe in the mail. A sank regulator who doesn't believe in regulating banks.

So sure. Recruit someone who doesn't believe in the mission of ICE into ICE. Let them wear themselves out hammering a square peg into a round hole. They are required, by law, to pay you for your time. And, unlike the military, there is no 'other-than-honorable-discharge' to mess up your resume. They asked for trainees, you came and bucked the system at every step. Eventually they boot you out. But they pay you, likely cloth and feed you. And every dollar wasted on your training is another dollar not used to cage kids. It would likely be rough but odds are they really can't hurt you, other than make you get into shape, and in the end it's all good.

But with Trump gone, I can't count on a pardon when I slaughter a few innocent brown people.

Wingnut Wrapup

It's been a while, but it's a little hard to get worked up about what some doofus in St. Louis thinks, when we have a raving lunatic in the White House.  anyway, here we go: Matt Vespa, Town Hall:  "Sorry Liberals, Ellison and DWS Remained Seated During Roughy Two-Minute Standing Ovation Honoring Fallen Navy SEAL's Widow" This is more important than two hundred Republicans in Congress conspiring to cover up treason.  And by the way, it's not true, not that that matters to Republicans. Leah Barkoukis, Town Hall"  "Cruz Defends Sessions Over Russia Report: It's a 'Nothing Burger' Treason: a nothing burger.  A legal lesson from the Republican party. Cal Thomas, Town Hall:  "Trump Reinvents Himself" One speech during which he did not degenerate into a shouting, spittle flecked maniac undoes two years of piggishness and hatred. Jim Jamitis, Red State:  "Maryland Democrats Pick Chris Matthews’ Wife As State Party ...

The Sovereigns and the Posse Comitatus- a Bit of Shared History

Image
With the recent two incidents involving right wing Christian terrorists in this country*, and the total suppression, as usual, of their political affiliations by the mainstream press, I thought it would be beneficial to take a few minutes to consider briefly the history of these two groups, the Sovereign Citizen movement and the Christian Identity "religion."  This is not a complete story- the Christian Identity movement is an outgrowth of the British Israelite movement, which since the 1870's was based on the absurd claim that Northern Europeans were the real descendants of the Jews in the bible.  Various explanations have been given about where today's Jews came from, some going so far as to claim that Jews (and black people too, of course) are actually not human beings at all, but spawns of an affair which Satan supposedly had with Eve, which is why God ejected Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden.  Well, enough of this idiocy, on with the story. First, with Chri...

I Can't Resist

I know it's useless, but I am going to make a remark about the acquittal of George Zimmerman for his murder of black teenager Trayvon Martin. I told this story some time ago, but it bears repeating.  As an L.A. Dodger fan, I learned that the Dodgers once had a minor league training camp in Sanford, Florida, the home of Zimmerman.  In the 1940's the Dodgers sent the now legendary Jackie Robinson, who would become the first black man to play major league baseball, to this camp: "As Jean West, a school teacher in Florida, wrote, "Branch Rickey had miscalculated the degree to which Jim Crow was entrenched in Sanford...The mayor of Sanford was confronted by what the author describes as a "large group of white residents" who  "demanded that Robinson...be run out of town." The Mayor caved. On March 5th, the Royals were informed that they would not be permitted to take the field as an integrated group. Rickey was concerned for Robinson’s life...
