The persecutor is walking back his outrageous accusations against the victims of the thugs' crimes, but not very far — now it is a "tragedy", as if no one were responsible.

Bovino, whom the persecutor chose to lead the mad stampede of deportation thugs in Minnesota, has returned to his previous local post. Alas, his replacement is just as cruel

even if not as wild.

I think all this represents unstated recognition that the blatant lies that high officials were telling about the people that thugs had murdered were driving some of their supporters away.

*Ian McEwan calls for assisted dying rights to extend to dementia sufferers.*

My mother used to say to me: 'If I ever become really terrible, I’d like you to finish me off.' But of course, that’s to commit murder as things stand. Imagine standing up in court and saying: ‘Well, she did say when we were on the beach 20 years ago …' By the time my mother was well advanced and could not recognize anyone, she was dead. She was alive and dead all at once. It was a terrible thing.

Such a person is effectively a zombie. We should have the right to register in advance, when we still have the capacity to think about the question, the request to be killed painlessly if we become zombies.

The deportation thugs are expanding pervasive surveillance in a way that threatens the rights of everyone in the US.

An IRS employee leaked the corrupter's private income tax data, and was properly convicted and sentenced for doing so. Now the corrupter is suing the IRS and demands ten billion dollars in damages for the leak.

The president should not be allowed to sue federal agencies at all, because that creates an opportunity for corruption.

The corrupter has continued a decades-long trend of increasing the resources put into policing (and punishing) of ordinary people's behavior, and reducing the policing (investigation) of rich people's self-enrichment behavior.

Biden went against that trend when he gave the IRS more money to investigate tax dodgers. Of course, the corrupter reversed that change, precisely because it was effective.
