    Il Douche recently tweeted something about how “ICE has liberated whole towns from the grasp of MS-13.”

    Not to be uncivil, but what the everloving fuck is this shithead talking about?

    Well, hell, then let’s see what happens if Project Lysistrata (vs the GOP) starts. Sadly, there are too many women too afraid or brainwashed to join. And too many at the top will just continue to buy sex as usual.

    Saw a young man walking around a public place yesterday with a “fuck Trump and fuck you for voting for him shirts.” There was a procession of people shaking his and expressing their agreement. A lot of people are just flat done with faux civility.

    On a much positive note, NYC/Lawn Guy Land Teamsters are now a “sanctuary union” for immigrants:

    Across Long Island and throughout the city, some 120,000 Teamsters are getting prepped to become a “sanctuary union.”

    In 27 shops, business agents, supervisors and front-line workers are getting schooled on their rights under U.S. law — and when and how to challenge federal immigration agents who show up to search their work sites.

    The training is complex and technical — hinging on specific types of warrants and the definition of a raid.

    I saw that an article that was all about polling on Trump by CNN. I was greatly disturbed that a slim majority of those surveyed thought Trump handled North Korea well. Only 39% of so thought he has handled foreign trade and dealt with our traditional allies well.

    If you believe any single poll, or any single article allegedly about a poll at this point you’re more naive than I thought.
    CNN is particularly unreliable.

    Cops firing on counter protestors currently.

    TS (the original)

    I listened to the video of the man saying “we were just doing our jobs” and my first thought was – “and the students were just going to school”
    And after a few days they are forgotten – this is living with guns – this is what the GOP and the NRA has done to the USA

    I read about the dismay of someone turning up at a protest with a gun. Why would there be dismay – I am in shock about people open carrying rifles into a supermarket. How can anyone shop next to that – murdering students and journalists is well past dismay – I cannot comprehend it at all.

    I’m with Maxine Waters, this is no fucking time for civility. Now she didn’t use the word fuck in her speech today but a couple of others did. The crowd wasn’t shocked, they approved. The first person to say it was a young (to me a lot of people are young) woman and she apologized but the crowd was fine with it. The second was a slightly older woman with a trans organization and she has as big a potty mouth as I do. I sort of liked her speech but she was a bit angry and it showed. But no one seemed to be bothered by her swearing a lot.

    My basic theme is sarcasm, I have to watch myself not to use it more than I do. I get sarcasm, I work it, I breath it, revel in it even. But taken out of context that wasn’t a sarcastic comment. Maybe with some context it might have been. But in this time, given all that is at stake, we need to be careful of the use of sarcasm. Done without the proper usage, it doesn’t work at all. I know, I have to explain myself every so often, that I was being sarcastic. When people know that it changes everything. When they don’t it usually ruins it.

    @B.B.A.: He’s lying. It’s like his comment that he saw Muslims celebrating on rooftops in NJ on 9-11 (he was in Mar a Lago at the time) or that he went to a lot of funerals for friends who were killed on 9-11 (he didn’t, partially because he doesn’t have any friends). I’ve actually done training inservice for ICE (I’m planning a post on that later, probably tomorrow) and they don’t have the personnel to do this. Moreover, the vast majority of MS 13 members are American citizens. There are only about 10,000 MS 13 members throughout the US. There’s a cluster in a couple of towns on Long Island, in the northern VA suburbs of DC, a chunk in the LA area. Largely they prey on other Salvadoran Americans and Salvadoran immigrants in the US. This is not surprising as this is the usual pattern for almost all ethno-national criminal gangs and organized crime groups. The odds of someone in the US who is not of Salvadoran descent or a Salvadoran immigrant running into 1) an MS 13 member and 2) winding up being on the receiving end of a criminal interaction with that person are slim and none and slim is terminally ill.
