Well now we see another piece of why this administration is separating children from their parents when attempting to cross the US border. They are criminalizing what was previously a civil matter.
DHS: 2,000 children separated at border
From April 19 through May 31 of this year, 1,995 minors traveling with 1,940 adults who said they were the children’s guardians were separated due to the policy, Department of Homeland Security spokesman Jonathan Hoffman told reporters on a conference call.
The call was largely to defend the administration’s decision to charge every adult caught crossing the border illegally with federal crimes, as opposed to referring those with children mainly to immigration courts, as previous administrations did. The officials used the opportunity, otherwise on the condition of anonymity, to accuse the press of spreading falsehoods about the policy.
Because the government is charging the parents in the criminal justice system, children are separated from them, with no clear procedure for their reunification aside from hotlines the parents can call to try to track their children down.
By the way, this is occurring for individuals who are attempting to cross to request asylum as well.

Big difference, asshole: Paul Manafort lost access to HIS family thorough the formal actions of the nation’s legal system: with every opportunity to defend himself and fight the (formal, legal) charges that led to his incarceration. If he’d simply been rousted, busted, and hauled off by government thugs with no access to counsel; yeah, you might have some vestige of a point. Otherwise, go DeNiro yourself, Jack(off)….
STORY: https://t.co/wuUnv8oMhm
— Chris Sommerfeldt (@C_Sommerfeldt) June 15, 2018
Giuliani, who worked as a federal prosecutor for nearly a decade, claimed he had seen no evidence to warrant Manafort being sent to jail.
“I don’t understand the justification for putting him in jail,” Giuliani, 74, said. “You put a guy in jail if he’s trying to kill witnesses, not just talking to witnesses.”
snip
Echoing his boss’ factually dubious claims, Giuliani said a scathing report released by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Thursday shows the Mueller team is “tainted.”
“After they get slapped around for their excessively zealous behavior, they go and do something that proves Horowitz is right,” Giuliani said of Manafort’s incarceration. “They’re out of control.”
snip
Giuliani has discussed Trump’s power to pardon associates in the past, but has never previously gone as far as to suggest the President could overturn Mueller’s investigation in the process.
Legal experts said the purpose of Giuliani’s comment was clear.
“It’s going to be interpreted as a message to Manafort not to panic,” said Nicholas Gravante, a New York white collar criminal defense lawyer. “This can come off as Rudy telling Manafort, ‘if push comes to shove here, you’re going to get pardoned, so keep your mouth shut.’”

One day after SCOTUS upheld voter purging in Ohio, Trump’s Department of Justice sued Kentucky to force aggressive voter purging https://t.co/8wYASinOtm pic.twitter.com/w5Sk3PqYQ0
— Mother Jones (@MotherJones) June 15, 2018
One day after the Supreme Court upheld voter purging in Ohio, the Justice Department decided to get in on the action. The department sued the state of Kentucky on Tuesday to force it to “systematically remove the names of ineligible voters from the registration records”—and Kentucky quickly agreed to comply.
The lawsuit, filed in conjunction with the conservative group Judicial Watch, alleges that Kentucky has not made “a reasonable effort to remove registrants who have become ineligible due to a change of residence.” Judicial Watch first sued Kentucky in November 2017, and the Justice Department announced it was joining the lawsuit on Tuesday. That same day, Kentucky settled the lawsuit and said it would make “a reasonable effort to remove from the statewide voter registration list the names of registrants who have become ineligible.”
This is the Trump administration’s first lawsuit against a state to force aggressive voter voter purging and could be the beginning of a new effort to curb voting rights.
“As long as I am KY’s Secretary of State, I will keep my promise to protect & defend the right to vote” and we will never remove any voter from the rolls for simply not voting.

Another wild Pruitt story: he got EPA aides to help his daughter get a White House internship, got a Virginia pol to try to get his daughter into law school, scored cheap football tickets, got staff to set up off-the-books meeting with billionaire donor:
i posted this at the end of downstairs
“Senior staff members at the Environmental Protection Agency frequently felt pressured by Scott Pruitt, the administrator, to help in personal matters and obtain special favors for his family, according to interviews with four current and former E.P.A. officials who served as top political aides to Mr. Pruitt,” the New York Times reports.
“The officials said that Mr. Pruitt, who ‘had a clear sense of entitlement,’ in the words of one of them, indicated that he expected staff members’ assistance with matters outside the purview of government.”
Jack thinks minimizing what America is doing to refugees and minimizing what a criminal has done is witty, but it’s just malicious and corrupt.

Bloomberg: Twitter to Face Claims by ‘White Advocate’ Over Banned Accounts
Twitter Inc. lost its bid to dismiss a lawsuit by a “white advocate” who was banned from the site in a challenge to the company’s ability to exclude users it deems objectionable.
California Superior Court Judge Harold Kahn in San Francisco rejected Jared Taylor’s claims that Twitter violated his free speech rights and discriminated against him when it permanently suspended his accounts in December.
But he said Taylor properly supported his allegations that Twitter’s policy of suspending accounts, in the judge’s words, “at any time, for any reason or for no reason” may be unconscionable and that the company calling itself a platform devoted to free speech may be misleading and therefore fraudulent.

“Kids started appearing at the shelter who didn’t ‘know the drill.’ They had just been separated from their parents, so they were experiencing an increased amount of trauma,” says Antar Davidson, who worked for Southwest Key, a nonprofit that operates more than two dozen shelters for migrant children from Texas to California.
Davidson quit this week because the shelter where he worked in Tucson, Ariz., didn’t have the trained staffing to handle the influx of younger, more traumatized children, he says.
The breaking point for Davidson came, he says, when he was asked to tell two siblings, ages 6 and 10, that they couldn’t hug each other. “They called me over the radio. And they wanted to translate to these kids that the rule of the shelter is that they are not allowed to hug,” he says. “And these are kids that had just been separated from their mom — basically just huddling and hugging each other in a desperate attempt to remain together.” Southwest Key says it has a clear policy that allows touching and hugging in certain circumstances.

I first heard of Milgram in one of my few non-mathematics classes in college. It was shocking how people were willing to torture others because they were told to do so as part of a study. Now it is no longer a study, but a real world situation — and it’s clear that a good portion of our country have essentially become Nazis.
Based on the response of so many “devout” evangelicals to Trump, it appears even years of religious indoctrination on what is moral has no particular effect on cruel and evil actions when directed against anyone who is not part of the in-group. None of these so-called “Christians” have publicly renounced their allegiance to Trump.
The only voter I’ve seen who reversed her position was a businesswoman (on FB) who liked the idea of a businessman President until she discovered how inept he was at economics and deals with foreign countries. So it was competence and not morality that changed her mind.
Had a brief look at today’s trump tweets (silly me). I am both amazed and disgusted that he talks in this fashion about issues under judicial control and/or his political opponents.
NEVER in the history of the US has a president ever said anything like this in an effort to overthrow the rule of law. For this alone he should be impeached.

About 2 hours ago…there was a knock on my door…and there she was!
I have not gotten to see her or even email or anything since the isle of Vasquez was torn up last September in the hurricanes.
She is doing well, but it really has been tough. She is strong, I don’t know many people that can deal with things like she can. With her now 7-dog strong pack in tow.
I asked her how bad is it? Her answer was about 75%…and then she added…still fucked up.
Her power for the island comes from 4 generators, two from FEMA and two from some other entity that donated them. They often go down. The people are sharing texts to keep each other up on when the power is on and when the one cell tower is receiving well enough they can jump online.
She was without power from September until around late February early March.
She is that strong and resourceful, but damn. What a mess.
Gotta get ready for the Friday jams…I’ll share more bits of what she had to say.

TBH. My worry is more with defeating Trumpism than Trump at this point. I do think we can retake Congress this fall and I do think Trump can be defeated in 2020. My concern? Creating a 2021-25 America where someone like Trump can’t rise again. The most frustrating thing for me to realize is that our progress made under Obama is what really awoke these reactionary forces within our society. And you know what, they’re not going to die out with older generations. My generation has them too.
They’re a minority. A substantial minority, unfortunately—more substantial than I really thought—but a minority. The problem is, they always vote. Getting our people to vote was always like pulling teeth, but now there are all sorts of extra obstacles in their way.
If the tRump tError can motivate younger people to go jump through all the hoops and vote, maybe…no, it’ll never be worth it, but maybe that can compensate a little.

The false premise stark as hell. The law such as it is unmodified by sane voices may allow the separation policy but nothing in the language requires it.

Why would Rudy, who’s currently representing Trump, be able to see the evidence against Manafort beyond what the prosecutors have indicated in the indictments, superseding indictments, and motions to revoke bail. He knows damned well that there’s sufficient evidence against Manafort. Rudy routinely put people in prison for similar or less criminal conduct.
The bail revocation isn’t taken lightly, and Rudy used to practice that as well because he his office would demand the same when people engaged in misconduct violating terms of bail.
But let’s not quibble over facts. Rudy’s playing to an audience of one - Trump.

Yep, heck Toronto already told Trump to fuck off with his hotel there and renamed it,
In reference to Maggie Haberman’s tweet noted above, we had this discussion here some time ago, about calling a lie “a lie.”
There was a great deal of pushback over the idea of wingnuts constantly trying to get Obama to say “radical Islamic terrorism.”
They are not the same. Wingnuts were trying to get Obama to say something that was essentially untrue.
I want a lie to be called a lie.
None of this “he put an asterisk on his hyperbole” stuff.
Words matter. Trump lies. As long as the press will not call a lie for what it is and uses other softer language, his propaganda will continue to confuse or misinform people.
But then, Ms. Haberman works for the same fascist-curious newspaper that claimed people were over-reacting to Hitler’s rhetoric. Even the Christian Science Monitor figured out what Hitler was up to and corrected themselves.
The New York Times has never corrected its position that people were being hyperbolic about Hitler’s plans.
This is the same paper that gave us Judith Miller and her stenography for GW Bush, and would not call his lies “lies” either.

re: #345 jaunte
I’m glad Trudeau recognizes this insanity belongs to Trump and not the majority of Americans. I hope the rest of the world follows suit.
I think this is a process born of necessity. As in, Canada and the rest of the world hopefully have realised that there will be no response if they act against American people or businesses, even in areas of Trump support. This is because neither Trump nor the people targeted care what happens to them. Only actions towards Trump and his own family will have any response, which is why Canada and some nations want to target them, and why China and other nations bypass middlemen and simply bribe Trump’s family directly.
I hope, however, that responses in this trade war affect all Americans. I’ve said that unless Americans, good and bad, suffer serious consequences and feel genuine hurt, they will simply slide further into dictatorship and rogue state status. They will simply elect more petty tyrants and racist fascists, and the next ones won’t be as pathetic as Trump. With this in mind, I think economic pain is the least of the suffering we all need to feel if there’s any hope for the future.

Our own nation sanctions (well, until recently) leaders who commit gross human rights violations. This action with children at the border has been condemned by the United Nations and many individual governments.
I despise the idea that our nation is even at a place where nations would consider sanctioning our leaders, but it is what it is. (Perhaps Mr. Trudeau should consider Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan while he’s at it.)
Sanctioning US leaders would be a diplomatic coup for nations like Russia and North Korea, but if our own grasping conservatives will not abide the rule of law, then perhaps that coup is worth it.
Targeted sanctions also have the benefit of not damaging those in a nation who are not part of the crap fest going on there.

Nevada pimp wins GOP primary, rejoices with Hollywood madam (goes to ABC)
Pimp Dennis Hof, owner of half a dozen legal brothels in Nevada and star of the HBO adult reality series “Cathouse,” won a Republican primary for the state Legislature on Tuesday, ousting a three-term lawmaker.
Hof defeated hospital executive James Oscarson. He’ll face Democrat Lesia Romanov in November, and will be the favored candidate in the Republican-leaning Assembly district.
Hof celebrated his win at a party in Pahrump, Nevada, with “Hollywood Madam” Heidi Fleiss at his side.
“It’s all because Donald Trump was the Christopher Columbus for me,” Hof told The Associated Press in a phone call. “He found the way and I jumped on it.”

So, the authorities have reassembled Michael Cohen’s shredded docs and discovered a shit-ton of encrypted messages.
Cohen’s up shit creek without a paddle. He needs to flip to save his skin.
There’s one thing I suspect he can offer: Let us recollect that Cohen pops up in the Steele Dossier; the story goes that Cohen met with the Russians in Prague in 2016 on Trump’s behalf, to discuss - at the very least -
(a) how to pay the hackers, and
(b) the ROSNEFT deal.
If Cohen can confirm these allegations to be factual, then his cooperation with the authorities would mean that Trump is screwed.

It is not QAnon or Alex Jones, or even FOX. They are just cashing in on the gullibility created for decades by the GOP.
Wind back all the way to the Civil Rights Act, and Barry Goldwater inviting the likes of the Ku Klux Klan and the John Birch Society into his party. Throw in Nixon’s Southern Strategy inviting in disaffected Wallace voters, then Paul Weyrich and Jerry Falwell working to bring in hordes of Evangelical voters for Ronald Reagan.
The GOP created this, not the grifters making money off their voters spreading even more derp.
FOX News exists because Nixon’s man Roger Ailes wanted a GOP TV and Ronald Reagan gave it to him by eliminating the Fairness Doctrine (coupled with the FCC having little authority over cable television).
Alex Jones started on Austin cable access television (his show aired right after The Atheist Experience; they even did an interview with Jones once when he called in).

The sudden surge and loss of electricity scrambled the programming. All they had to do was re-program the controller. (Yay, village saves quite a bit of money.)

I don’t know if 40% of America is evil, or only 30% or less, but if you care, you should be out in the streets in massive demonstrations.
