DHS is the American Gestapo

They have been pushing the edges of the law to illegally serve administrative subpoenas on tech companies to get the records of reporters and others. The tell is, whenever someone is able to contest the subpoenas, DHS folds rather than fight things and take the good chance that a judge will slap their dicks for being fascist douchebags.

It's nothing new, really. DHS has been an authoritarian police state organization since it was esablished under Chimpy McFuckwit. Nothing about DHS would suggest that anyone who works there has any familiarity with the Constitution of the United States. In short, everyone who has been worn into a DHS position and swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution should be charged with perjury or, at least, lying to a federal official.

Shorter Trump: It’s Only Dead Brown People

The US government on Wednesday expressed its condolences over the deadly floods in Nepal and promised to provide $500,000 in emergency assistance, the State Department said.


A half-million donation from the US government is fucking chicken feed and borderline insulting. Everyone other than MAGAts would completely understand if the Nepalese turned it down.

Speck is chilling.

Trump’s “Freedom Fuel”

Well, it turns out that the stations selling TrumpGas were, allegedly, selling stolen fuel.

Which tracks, no. It wasn't "Freedom Fuel", it was "Felon Fuel".

Dear Navy: Fuck Off

A judge dismissed a lawsuit from a civilian engineer in the Military Sealift Command after it was determined that her report of being raped in her own bed aboard a Navy transport ship was within her duties and must be treated as a worker’s comp claim.

So, for the Navy, being raped is a work hazard. The Navy's Coverup Integrity Service also helped sweep the matter under the rug. The ship's captain, a civilian mariner, was "disciplined" by having to surrender his mariner's ticket.

I wish that I could say that I was shocked and surprised. But I'm not. It's never about justice with those clowns, it's all about protecting the institution.

In other news, several states are doing what they can to ensure that their children grow up illiterate and stupid.
