As more US thug departments aid deportation, the school-to-prison pipeline now includes a school-to-immigration-prison branch pipeline.

The troll announced a plan to send more US troops to Afghanistan, supposedly to "win" the war, although we already know that is impossible.

What it amounts to is a decision to continue supporting the Afghan government, which can't win a war because it inspires little loyalty. The US can prop that up as long as it has the strength, but that won't improve anything.

The troll said he would focus on killing more enemies. Arguably, that's what resuscitated the Taliban when Dubya did it.

At least he said he would cancel the "nation-building" programs that were basically handouts to corrupt people in the US and Afghanistan.

In principle, the idea of helping people establish a peaceful and prosperous nation makes sense. But the conditions for success don't exist in Afghanistan.

Another reason for failure was that Americans chose projects that made no sense in the local context — failure guaranteed.

All the Times Donald Trump Said the U.S. Should Get Out of Afghanistan.

It seems that the troll can't stand up to the neoliberal/theocratic establishment on any issue other than bigotry.

The "president" of the Maldives is using thugs to stop parliament from replacing his ally, who is speaker of the house.

This "president" took power through a coup against President Nasheed, who campaigned ceaselessly to curb the global heating that threatens to destroy the Maldive Islands. I suspect that oil companies helped organize the coup.

US citizens: call on the troll to preserve the DACA program, which protects people that were brought to the US without authorization as children many years ago.

Working six days a week won't pay for a place to live in the extremely unequal USA.
