ICE = Gestapo (and Tab Clearing)

I know that a number of readers probably view my frequent comparisons of ICE to the Gestapo as hyperbole. But consider this: When an ICE agent shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in the back, they had a hospital slap a bandage on him and then tossed him into an ICE detention cell with no bed and no pain medication. ICE didn't bring him back to a hospital until the shit hit the fan in the press. Garces Perez may have some paralysis from some ICE goon trying to murder him.

There has been no colorable justification for the shooting, not even the usual ICE lies about one of their victims trying to run them over. The most I've seen was that he was fleeing, which is not justification.

Meanwhile, the Russian Army is tattooing service numbers on their drone fodder soldiers' chests to aid in identifying their corpses. It may also be an anti-desertion measure, for all that I know.
------------
Trump's ballroom design isn't up to code for things like fire safety, sufficiency of exits and number of bathrooms. Trump says that "I am the code" and he'll have it built the way he wants, regardless of such piddling concerns of it being a firetrap or having seven stalls in a single women's room for a space that can hold over a thousand people.

The only good thing about Trump's constant meddling with the design is that a future president can say "this thing is unsafe and there's no good way to fix it" and then level the fucking monstrosity.
------------
Whenever he gets caught doing something blatantly unconstitutional, he reverts to the worn-out justification of all tyrants: National security. And so he's doing with his latest censorship.
-----------
"The Trump-Ford Theater"? No, it's not a joke. Even Hitler was not as obssessed with having shit named after him. The economy is falling apart from the cost of diesel fuel, his war is a failure, but all he can thing about is slapping his name onto buildings.

Which will all be torn off with the required haste. The only place in the world where the name "Donald Trump" will eventually be found will be on his tombstone.

"Abortions for Me, But Not for Thee" (Plus Susie Collins the Corrupt)

Abortions are OK if you're a conservative with a pregnant mistress:

Texas Republican state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione helped write one of the country’s strictest abortion laws.

Now he’s been forced into a stunning admission after a woman revealed that she had carried on a 17-year relationship with Capriglione and accused him of “secretly paying for multiple abortions.”

Funny how morality gets tossed out the door when the rubber hits the road.

Meanwhile, Susan Collins was about to get hammered for political corruption by the FBI until the Orange President of Corruption stepped on the probe.

Something Else for J.Edgar Boozer to Get Hammered About

A high profile hacking group claims it has breached multiple FBI-related services and stolen data “on all FBI employees and applicants.” A representative of the group, called ShinyHunters, told 404 Media the data includes FBI agents’ names, home addresses, phone number, and information on their spouse.
...
The [ShinyHunters] representative provided 404 Media with a sample appearing to contain the personal data of 5,000 FBI employees. That data included an alleged address, phone number, date of birth, and in some cases details on their spouse.

As much as they dared to, 404 Media verified the accuracy of the data.

Presumably, the spouses of the agents are human, but these days, one never knows.

Pawing These Down, Here

Another ICE Shooting

ICE shot another man today.

One thing to keep in mind:

DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING SAID BY DHS OR ICE!

One constant in prior shootings has been DHS and ICE lying about what happened: Calling their victims terrorists, claiming assaults that didn't happen, justifications that were fraudulent.

DHS and ICE lie. And that you can take to the First National Bank of Cha-Cha and make a deposit.

Your Sunday Morning Prop Noise

A DHC-4:

I occaisionally refueled at an airport that had a skydiving operation. One of their jump planes was a DHC-4. They'd pull up to the pumps, refuel and then use prop reverse to back away. There is a little bit of bad dope in the video, which I will leave you to find.

Caturday

"I have my eye on you!"

Let's See if the Press Has Any Balls

Trump is kicking out MSNOW, Politico and CNN from covering the White House.

If the WHCA has any balls, they'd all walk out and leave the White House to Fox, NewsMax and Russia Today.

Because It's Friday

That tesescoping stack looks weird.
