Petty thugs. That’s all ICE is. Masked officers too cowardly to show their faces and too aware they’re in the wrong to dare approach judges with warrant requests. Even ICE’s lawyers are doing what they can to keep themselves from being added to the permanent record. Idiots are running theContinue Reading
Three weeks ago, California federal court judge Maame E. Frimpong issued an order blocking ICE from pretending looking a bit foreign was reasonably suspicious enough to justify stops, much less the mass arrests ICE officers have been carrying out regularly in the Los Angeles area. The opinion had to spellContinue Reading
This was the way it was always going to end: with The Traitor turning the Oval Office into the palace of a king. One need look no further than The Traitor’s attempt to invoke the vengeful spirits of the Overlook Hotel by adding a $200 million ballroom to the WhiteContinue Reading
The Traitor — perhaps more than other presidents — often feels compelled to present his religious bona fides. Of course, he naturally has none. But as often as evangelical figureheads proclaim him to be (their) God’s personal pick for POTUS, even Traitor 47 occasionally feels obligated to give something backContinue Reading

Plenty of idiots and idiot newscasters continue to pretend Los Angeles is under siege when, in reality,Continue Reading
To be sure, the DHS is just going to blow off Senator Wyden’s demands for answers, just as it has blown off congressional oversight, court orders, and pretty much the entirety of the US Constitution. (We’re all just waiting to be told we’re obligated to house National Guard troops sentContinue Reading
That an agency overseen by former South Dakota governor Kristi Noem would fail to handle flooding capably shouldn’t come as a surprise. That sort of thing is directly on brand for Noem, who did this to her own state because she was trying to score points with (then) ex-president TraitorContinue Reading
This isn’t the first state court to reach this conclusion, but so few courts bother to examine the science-y sounding stuff cops trot out as “evidence” that this decision is worth noting. There’s no shortage of junk science that has been (and continues to be) treated as actual science duringContinue Reading
Sheriff Christina Corpus is on the cusp of being an ex-sheriff and the first sheriff removed from office in San Mateo County via a county board vote. But her term as sheriff started a lot more promisingly. Running as a reformer, Corpus won the primary and the job, defeating CarlosContinue Reading
