Not So Groovy

Our job is to protect empathy at all costs, and live groovy lives.

FYI – I'm with Joe.

ProPublica, a nonprofit newsroom investigating abuses of power, reported recently that more than 170 U.S. citizens have been kidnapped, held and tortured by immigration agents.

“If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States,” Kavanaugh wrote, “they promptly let the individual go.”

But that is far from the reality many citizens have experienced. Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. One of those women had already had the door of her home blown off while Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem watched. (source)

Of COURSE serial liar, sex pest, and rape attempter Kavanaugh lied about the ICEhole actions and it’s no surprise that KKKristi sadistically stands by watching. Studies have clearly shown that people with an animal torture/killing fetish move on to larger, human prey. 

Speaking of indiscriminate bullying, what’s up with Prez Pedo’s hard on for Venezuela.

Winslow Homer – Shark Fishing

WHY is the world’s most insecure and easy to manipulate head case and his pet rabid weasel, Pete Kegstand, blowing up Venezuelan fishing boats and murdering Venezuelans?

The excuse, so far, has been that the fishing boats are actually “narco-terrorists”– they’re supposedly smuggling in drugs, mostly fentanyl.

Problem – fentanyl isn’t made in Venezuela and outboard motorboats can’t reach the U.S. from there without refueling 20 times. The vast majority of fentanyl comes into the U.S. from Mexico at regular ports of entry, NOT via secret tunnels, drones, foot messengers, mysterious Venezuelan fishing boats or catapults. U.S. citizens are bringing most of it in and I’ll bet the bulk of them rock a pasty white complexion too. 

On top of murdering folks in boats (with zilcho evidence that they were guilty of so much as a busted a taillight let alone smuggling dope), over the past couple months there’s been a huge military buildup in the Caribbean Sea. This just CAN’T be about drugs – that’s TOO over the top, even for our drama queen president.

Is Stinky and his incompetent crew attempting a Reaganism? Do they want to do regime changes and turn South American countries into killing fields like Ronzo did to Nicaragua? 

I only mention it but, it didn’t work out well for Ronnie and he wasn’t quite as non compos mentis and doltish as Captain Crackpot. Donnie Doofus is certainly not looking to topple Maduro because the dude’s a human rights defiler (on that point the two are brother). No, getting rid of Maduro is about access to oil and minerals. 

This is about greed, not championing and restoring the human rights of Venezuelan citizens. Yea, I know, DUH!
