The Trumpy Administration answer to smallpox blankets?
The Stephen Miller Effect.
Don’t let a good crisis go waste. Turns out COVID-45 has the side benefit of further reducing the size of deep-state gummint. Don’t even need a bathtub. These people are just plain evil.
Starting with Miller, through Trump, and then whoever the fuck is in charge of Immigration Courts in the DOJ is risking lives, American lives, to continue their racist agenda.
On the other hand trying to get detainees out of over crowded facilities could be considered. But no one has a fucking clue.
One email sent by the chief prosecutor at the Miami court Tuesday, read to ProPublica, told prosecutors that if an immigrant or her attorney claimed to be sick, any postponement should be counted against the immigrant (preventing them from requesting another postponement)…Most communication, though, has been oral. In at least two courts, chief judges were asked to put policies in writing and declined.
What the Trump Regime is doing under the cover of health crisis/ pandemic is reason NOT to elect a RethugniCON…
Senator Burr and other RethugniCONS engaged in insider trading while telling or not telling the American public the gravity of Covid-19
AND the BIGLIEST LIAR of all…
I agree with Krugman’s economic advice…
(1) “focus on hardship” rather than GDP
(2) “stop worrying about incentives to work,” and
(3) “don’t trust Trump.”
I’m under a similar work order in my job. Alternating 1/2-staff M-W-F/T-Th in the office/work-from-home. TPTB are just making it up as they go. Let’s wait until it’s too late to do things right. Absolute BS!
"When Donald Trump came into office, there was a sense that he would be outmatched by the vast government he had just inherited.
The new president was impetuous, bottomlessly ignorant, almost chemically inattentive, while the bureaucrats were seasoned, shrewd, protective of themselves and their institutions. They knew where the levers of power lay and how to use them or prevent the president from doing so. Trump’s White House was chaotic and vicious, unlike anything in American history, but it didn’t really matter as long as “the adults” were there to wait out the president’s impulses and deflect his worst ideas and discreetly pocket destructive orders lying around on his desk."
The Coronavirus can overwhelm almost anyone in its path, it would seem, except racism and xenophobia. There, it has met its match. Apparently, some people would rather risk death than to give it a rest for just a few weeks.
It’s disBarr’s DOJ, operating at the behest of Lil’ Stevie “Snake Eyes” Miller. There’s a quota to meet dammit! You wouldn’t close down work camps or crematoriums just because of a glorified flu, would you?
Shut up and snap to it. You’re just cogs in a machine.
That would be Chief Immigration Judge (acting) Christopher Santoro.
Who is taking his marching orders from Miller and Barr.
Wow what a wonderful human being.
Stephen Miller and Bill Barr are going to get that wall by killing the employees working at the immigration courts. Makes you feel warm and toasty doesn’t it.
“Why let a deadly pandemic get in the way of kicking out brown people? A few casualties in the war on nonwhites are collateral damage.”
Stephen Miller (thought balloon)
Acting out trump’s hate policy.
If republicans can send thousands of troops to die just to satisfy a desire for macho posturing, then court officers are easy.
Our Gov. is doing a great job with his daily press conferences full of facts, information, and empathy for all and recognizing all those who are doing their part.
Can’t tell you how glad I am we got rid of Bevin. Gov. Andy Beshear is doing a wonderful job, even while the republican super majority in the legislature are being their usual asshole selves. Exception for the Sec. of State who, at least for the moment, is working with the Gov. regardless of the party difference.
Kind of reminds me of when KY lead the nation on setting up our state exchange during Obama Care, and that was Andy’s father. What a fucking relief it is during this scary time to have the Gov.'s office in reliable, trustworthy hands.
