Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

Democrats have delivered the Square Deal, the New Deal, the Fair Deal, and now… the Big Joe Biden Deal.

I desperately hope that, yet again, I am wrong.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

The lights are all blinking red.

Let’s finish the job.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.

So many bastards, so little time.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

In my day, never was longer.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Be a traveling stable for those who can’t find room at the inn.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

When do we start airlifting the women and children out of Texas?

The frogs are rarely mistaken.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Donald Jessica Trump found guilty as fuck – May 30, 2024!

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Meet Sarah Fabian, Garbage Human Being

by | 69 Comments

This post is in: ,

This is Sarah Fabian. She is a lawyer with the Department of Justice who thinks it is crazy insane to provide immigrants in detention with things like a toothbrush, soap, or a blanket:

This is not Sarah Fabian’s first time in the limelight:

The fate of hundreds of children ripped from their migrant parents was still up in the air Friday, but a Trump administration lawyer working on the case has a side gig to attend to — dog-sitting.

At a hearing in San Diego Federal Court Friday, the Trump administration asked Judge Dana Sabraw to extend deadlines he set last month for officials to reunify the hundreds of migrant families separated because of its zero tolerance policy. The first deadline is July 10.

During the two-hour hearing, Sabraw asked Justice Department lawyer Sarah Fabian and a lawyer representing the American Civil Liberties Union about their availability over the weekend.

“We will do whatever. We will stay the weekend,” said the lawyer representing the ACLU, which successfully sued the Trump administration over its family-shattering practice last month.

Fabian said she had other obligations.

“I have dog-sitting responsibilities that require me to go back to Colorado but I will be back Monday,” she said, according to a transcript published by NBC News.

There are those who would have you believe that she is just following orders, to which I would respond “How did that work out at Nuremberg?”

She has chosen. She is not there at gunpoint. She made her decision, she crafted her arguments, and she presented them. She is a walking dumpster fire. Fuck her.

    You know that if she treats the animal she’s dog-sitting even close to as badly as she’s arguing for treating those children, the owners would sue her six ways to Sunday.

    She is arguing in our names. She is arguing for everyone of us in court that we should be allowed to abuse children, that we should be allowed to kidnap them and their children against the actual law. And that we should be able to treat them as less than human beings. We’ve been here before and it wasn’t good then. And we didn’t really learn anything. Humans will treat other humans as inhumanly as can ever be imagined if nudged in that direction. That’s why controls have to be in place and they have to be enforced. Humans are no better than they want to be. And that isn’t always good enough.

    If anyone treated their own kids that way they’d lose custody.

    Call your congressperson and senators DAILY. This is in our name, and yet is against treaty obligations and domestic US law.

    @JDM: @JDM:
    You think someone is going to pay her to fly from CA to CO to dog sit for them? Bet this is a family matter and while she will fly to CO for her own, she’s not getting paid to dog sit for a neighbor. Wonder what causes the need for her to go, to make such a lame argument in court.

    More in this thread. That woman ain’t right.

    I argued with Sarah Fabian for a full hour last week and still she REFUSED to let a pediatrician into the facility where tiny infants looking severely ill had been discovered by our attorneys days before.She wouldn’t allow it because this was a pediatrician “chosen by plaintiffs”— kiddyshrink (@kiddyshrink) 21 June 2019

    I know nothing about this woman or the decision process within the Justice Department But I have worked with Justice Department attorneys on various fishery-related issues and lawsuits. And I know there are a whole bunch of them.

    Unless I miss my guess, the career Justice Department supervisor who is in charge of this monstrosity probably knows exactly who she has working for her and probably knows that this woman is a MAGA tool. Every office has one. So when they do the staff tasking meetings to determine who is going to take what case, this woman’s hand is probably up “pick me, pick me!” when there is some TV worthy case on a Trump issue coming up. And everyone else in the office is probably relieved as hell it was them that got picked.

    I don’t expect to run into Ms Fabian in suburban Cincinnati but she needs to be thoroughly doxxed. She needs to be followed by protesters holding signs explaining who she is and what she has done.

    On a happier note, is that a wicker chair on the deck which is cradling Samantha the dog (in the Twitter pic)? Happy Birthday, John.

    @chris: She’s the one who told the court earlier this year, she couldn’t come to court for an emergency hearing because she had to dog sit.

    I’m surprised the judges weren’t able to get her to just blurt it out: “These aren’t, like, OUR kids…most of them are just animals…why would we waste soap and blankets on them?”

    I’m ready to move on from wanting a Truth & Reconciliation Commission to wanting Nuremberg Trials, with all the appropriate sentences.

    A very happy birthday to you, @JohnCole, and thank you for spotlighting this despicable deplorable disgusting piece of Republican shit. I’ve never felt so ashamed about sharing my gender with anyone.

    Inside one of Trump’s concentration camps for migrants children:Flu, lice outbreaks, filth, sick kids sleeping on cold floors, 4toddlers were unresponsive, feverish & vomiting when lawyers visited them… Mothers begged for help but were denied by guards. https://t.co/WcmU4sBLEo— Rula Jebreal (@rulajebreal) June 22, 2019

    One good thing about this fucked up timeline, is like the Concentration Camp ratioing,

    Is the Nazi’s and Good Germans are freely outing themselves.

    Some one should also stick a microphone in the face of General Kelly whose idea it was to separate children from parents to deter people seeking asylum at the southern border. This woman, terrible though she may be did not come up with this policy.

    Republicans know how to do this right. You didn’t even publish her home address, phone numbers, e-mail address, twitter handle, and addresses of her children’s schools.

    I suppose while this arguing and delaying goes on the children are still not receiving soap, toothpaste and other necessities. The whole damn shitshow is sickening. Isn’t anyone able to order these conditions remedied now. Immediately.
    Also fuck Sarah Fabian and Donald Trump.

    @Ken:

    That’s not what antifia does 95% of the time. 5% of the time is spent protecting people from Nazis and Cops.

    95% of the time is spent mining social media to get real names, social media history, phone numbers , addresses, employers, family members, social groups and memberships,

    Then through social media, organizing “black listing”.

    she seems like a true believer. i mean, you kinda have to be to get up there in front of the fucking appeals court and literally make that argument, but still.

    I was watching the new Netflix/German collaboration about the Charité hospital in Berlin (Part I was @ 1900; this new bit is about WWII–both semi fictionalized). I heard those non-justification/justifications come out of that lawyer’s mouth on the same day. Dear God, I don’t wanna join the Nazi comparison parade, but didn’t she just sound like the pediatricians who were defending the practice of experimenting on “less than perfect” children. Et cetera. My stomach roiled.

    I was able to leave her a lovely voicemail on Friday on her DOJ line. I hope she listens. No job is worth hers. Despicable

    @mrmoshpotato:

    Do you need a trial when the defendant has already made her position clear in Federal court? Really?

    No soap, no medical care, no toothpaste, nothing. Gruel. Tepid water. Bread. Forever.

    Not even forever, just long enough for her to stand trial. I’ll file a few motions that keep her in those conditions for say 3 months, and then see if she has anything to say…reflections, of a sort…

    Can you tell a court, “I can’t be present that day, I have to dogsit”? Surely a judge would tell her to cancel the dogsit and show up, or else.

    @J R in WV:

    Do you need a trial when the defendant has already made her position clear in Federal court? Really?

    Yes. Because she (and all these fuckers) have that right under our Constitution. And we are still a nation of laws.

    There were loads of evidence of the Nazis’ crimes, but the Allies still gave them their day in court.

    We need to stick to our predecessors’ example.

    @Amir Khalid: every federal judge I know would expect that, with an added threat of contempt. Of course, if the judge agreed with the DOJ’s position….

    @Jay: Jay, I’ve noticed you frequently mention “antifia.” Do you mean Antifa (anti-fascist), or is this some other outfit I haven’t heard of? Or an inside joke?

    I’d love to see some sources for your 95%/5% ratio. I only ever hear of Antifa when they’re mixing it up with neo-Nazis, etc.

    @schrodingers_cat: I noticed that right away.

    My sister the litigator schooled me in court appearance decades ago. “Clean, neat, clothes that fit, hair tidy. Don’t give the judge any reason to find you distasteful; especially when your case fucking sucks.”

    Trump. Only the best people. Right.

    @JDM: #comment-7320040 we would do well to remember that God will judge us for what we do and He will treat us the way we treat others and he always had favored for those that were immigrants refugees from other countries we were told to love them
