They say we need to fix our broken immigration system. First, we need to fix a shattered Presidency. A morally diminished office subsumed by a con man and (as of yet unconvicted) criminal rapist who would be dictator.
This weekends threatened raids were a psychological attack. An act of infusing terror into immigrants legal or not.
Some police are refusing to take part in Trump’s immigration sweep. They argue law enforcement relies on tips to safeguard the community. The cops don’t want undocumented people to feel threatened by deportation should they come forward to report crime.https://t.co/OB0ZAst8C1

I’m reading Kurt Andersen’s Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire. It’s pretty good. One thing I hadn’t heard before: when someone asked Alexander Hamilton why there were no references to God in the Constitution he supposedly replied, “we forgot.” But it’s a good reminder that America has a rich—exceptional—history of fabulists, fraudsters, and credulous dupes.

Since NY passed a law that allows termination in late stages for reasons of the mother’s health or when it’s determined the fetus will not live, the GOP has decided to take it to it’s illogical conclusion and decided that it applies after birth.

Here’s an article from the New Yorker, it’s an interview posted today with one of the attorneys who went out to the “Clint Facility” near El Paso. It’s heartbreaking.
newyorker.com
There are 350 children being held in a facility designed for 104. This is just a recipe for an epidemic (of something) to go racing through there. And since children are constantly being moved in and out of the Clint Facility, the chances of an epidemic (of something) being transferred around is very high.
This is an untenable situation.

Back when I was able to eat ice cream I would make a French Vanilla with egg yolks, Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract (which I got from Williams-Sonoma) and I would grind vanilla beans to a powder and add them in the ice cream mix. Put it in the maker and let it set and it was the 2nd best French Vanilla ice cream I ever had.
#1 on my list was Lady Borden’s Extra Premium French Vanilla.
But drip that Hershey’s syrup on the ice cream I made OR put a scoop on top of a slice of hot peach pie…

As for vanilla, anything you’re going to bake (cookies, cakes, etc.) you can get away with the artificial stuff. Otherwise, bite the bullet and fork out for the real vanilla. Even though one needs to take out a mortgage buy it these days.

This is very true. Increasingly, radical right-wing Protestant churches have been viewing Catholics as “the enemy”. To be fair, Catholics have been pretty acrimonious towards Protestants in general throughout history, but it’s descended to a personal level of late.

The CPPCG has article 4:
Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in Article 3 shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials or private individuals.
International Law concerning War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity also have similar provisions denying immunity from prosecution regardless of rank or status.
Now guess, just once, which country is one of the countries that have made reservations against and want immunity from prosecution for Genocide, War Crimes, and Crimes Against Humanity? The United States of America.
Make no mistake, the reservation will mean nothing if evidence of severe enough violations of international law concerning Genocide, War Crimes, and Crimes Against Humanity is uncovered. The ICC and the International Community will act.
When the Trumpler admin throws its weight around making life difficult for ICC personnel, it will only have the effect of them trying covert methods of investigation and further justify a preliminary investigation.
And as a related note, below is a list of which acts fall under the jurisdiction of the
ICC, under international fucking law…
I think that it is at this juncture open letters to the ICC should be sent requesting an investigation into the actions of the Trumpler admin should be made. En masse.

During Obama’s term, conservatives were deranged.
IIRC, the term “Bush Derangement Syndrome” was coined by the right-wing blogosphere to paint critics of Bush’s Iraq War as wild-eyed loonies and delegitimize them. Clinton Derangement Syndrome definitely existed as a phenomenon in the nineties (see Jerry Falwell’s hawking of The Clinton Chronicles conspiracy videos) but we didn’t coin a term for it. We borrowed the “Derangement Syndrome” construction from the Right when they became truly unhinged with Obama, and the Right reclaimed it when they went back to the Bush-era playbook under Trumpolini.
