His MO is not rational now, but it worked before for him. So he's doing it again. The immediate goal for him is not victory, but delay, of course.

36 Jewish Activists Were Arrested While Protesting an ICE Detention Center in New Jersey

"On Sunday, June 30, 36 Jewish protesters were arrested after blocking the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in response to reports of the horrific conditions the children there are facing. The protesters — members of the Never Again Action group, a group of Jews that are working to “never let anything like the Holocaust ever happen again” — partnered with immigrant rights group Movimiento Cosecha to organize the protest."

Protesters demand the closure of immigrant detention centers

"The #CloseTheCamps protests on Tuesday were organized by MoveOn and other public policy and immigration advocacy organizations, including United We Dream, American Friends Service Committee and Families Belong Together. According to MoveOn, over 175 mobilizations were scheduled to take place in cities including Chicago, New York City, Minneapolis, Denver and Austin, Texas."

I think calling Peter Cvjetanovic a white nationalist from Charlottesville really undersells how ridiculous this is.

Imagine an image of a torch-wielding American nazi yelling. That's him. That's Peter Cvjetanovic. That's the guy CNN used as a source in their profile of antifa.

Also the Betsy Ross flag controversy is maybe the dumbest uspol thing in the past 6 years, we all know the KKK used the flag because people were still alive who remembered the South losing the civil war. Once they cleaned up the image and got the southern myth started they switched back to the Confederate flag. I really don't get why this has blown up like it has but whatever

It involves Kaepernick. He had brought it to Nike's attention that using the Betsy Ross flag would cause some concern. Conservatives love to seize on a "controversy" like this because "ARE FLAG AND ARE TROOPS!!!!" provides some cover for the opportunity to yet again beat up on a black guy who has the audacity to protest police brutality toward minority populations.

DA Rollins Won’t Prosecute 18 Protesters Arrested At Boston’s ICE Detention Center


"BOSTON (CBS) – The 18 protesters arrested after a demonstration outside the ICE detention center in Dorchester Tuesday evening won’t be prosecuted, a spokeswoman for Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins said.

The protest against the Trump administration’s immigration policies and migrant camps at the border lasted for hours. A crowd of hundreds walked from the Holocaust Memorial to the detention center located at the Suffolk County House of Corrections, where the arrests happened."

“All 18 individuals appeared this morning in Roxbury Municipal Court, where Suffolk prosecutors filed a nolle prosequie prior to arraignment in each of their cases,” spokeswoman Renee Algarin said in a statement Wednesday. “This filing formally ends prosecution in each case.”

Scott Warren of No More Deaths Faces Retrial for Providing Humanitarian Aid to Migrants in Arizona

"Federal prosecutors announced Tuesday they will retry humanitarian aid volunteer and immigration rights activist Scott Warren on two charges related to aiding migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border. This comes just a few weeks after a jury refused to convict Warren for providing water, food, clean clothes and beds to two undocumented migrants crossing the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona. Eight jurors found Warren not guilty; four said he was. Federal prosecutors will make their case against Warren again in an 8-day jury trial in November. They have dropped a conspiracy charge against him. If convicted on the two felony migrant harboring charges, Warren faces up to 10 years in prison."

The books specifically exclude action scenes so it can skip ahead to another long classroom propaganda speech on why fascism is good.

I like the part where it claims that only veterans should vote and hold political officer because by their nature they hold society as more important than themselves (having risked their life to defend it)

Except that veteran soldiers are about as likely (if not more) to be warmongers as any civilian official. How often are the generals the voice of restraint when a civilian leader wants to go to war?

Have you paid any attention to how the current presidency has played out?

Trump has fired all the generals around him because they keep holding him back from starting crazy wars.
