A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Today is moving day for me. The new place is a dump, but much cheaper. Alas, the golden years are not what I'd hoped for. But it is cheap, cool in the summer, and dry in the winter. I'll be fine if I can get the Uhaul unloaded. Wish me luck...

Y'all, that civil war? The class war between rich and poor? Its already here. The rich are already fighting it. The question is, will they kill us before we even know we're in a fight? Fucking wake up! Let's at least not die without putting up a fight.

Regarding WhiskeyLeak: Does anybody seriously believe we caught them the first time? Really? They got caught because this is SOP for them. They are so sloppy that they don't even care. We surely did not catch it the only time it happened.
