    Assessing Trump Idiocracy

    *Assessing the Trump Idiocracy*: a summary of the blows he has struck at the United States of America.

    Even broader and deeper than the blows cited in that list is the blow struck at the idea of objective truth. His supporters simply believe what he tells them to believe, with the inexplicable exception of Epstein.

    (satire) Low-Income Seniors wallow in mud to stay cool

    (satire) *HHS Advises Low-Income Seniors To Wallow In Mud To Stay Cool.*

    It's incredible, the sort of things people consider cool. As for myself, I've never tried to be cool.

    Saboteur in chief plans to cancel limits on greenhouse gas emissions

    The saboteur in chief plans to cancel the US government's authority to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

    This could be the biggest act of global sabotage in all history — past and future.

    You could move to a place nowhere near forests, rivers or seas, but the failure of agriculture and fishing will still get you.

    Saboteur's pressure to burn fossil fuel

    The saboteur in chief's fervent pressure to burn more fossil fuel has world-wide baneful repercussions in cancellation of projects to advance renewable generation.

    Filling in story of Fabian Schmidt

    Filling in the story of Fabian Schmidt. For instance, getting out of immigration prison, and being gouged on food and phone calls for 2 months, cost him $65,000, while of course he was unable to work.

    Every element of the immigration prison seems to be as inhumane as the government can make it. In effect, it is punishment before trial.

    The article corrects a few details about his

    The policy of jailing people for any minor offense from many years ago is a form of "zero tolerance". Repressive states like to adopt zero tolerance when it provides an excuse to punish harmless, powerless people.

    Where zero-tolerance is called for is with continuing patterns of crime, such as theft of wages by employers, or (for thugs) unjustified violence against the public. Filing charges against someone for making a recording should be punished without fail. Not having per body camera recording at such times, likewise (though systems could activate them automatically at such times).

    Bully wants trial after verdict

    The bully wants to declare someone guilty and have the trial after the verdict — if at all. His first prestigious target is Obama.

    Border thugs jailed Fabian Schmidt

    US border thugs jailed Fabian Schmidt, US permanent resident, as he returned from a visit to Germany, because of an old charge of possession of marijuana which California had wiped out when it legalized marijuana.

    Eventually he was released from jail, but the thugs did not give him his green card back, or his passport (German, I suppose). So I expect he is still threatened with deportation. Maybe the thugs will arrest him some day when they have arrested only 2,999 people and need to fill the quota.

    Undocumented immigrant workers and US citizen arrested

    Deportation thugs decided to arrest two undocumented immigrant workers, along with US citizen Kenny Laynez Ambrosio who traveling with them. The thugs responded to imaginary "resistance" (solely in their own minds) by preemptively attacking each one, including taser attacks, mostly starting before they had a chance to get out of the car.

    Laynez made a video recording of the thugs' attack. So they charged him with bogus crimes (making a recording) so they could offer to drop the charges if he deleted the recording. But he had the courage to refuse.

    Thugs who act like that ought to be fired in the name of public safety, and blacklisted for all police work until they demonstrate that they have the requisite self control to act like police officers.
