“What this really tells you is to what extent the political systems in the US and the UK, along with the media that serve them, have turned into a massive void, a vortex, a black hole from which any reflection, criticism or self-awareness can no longer escape. By endlessly and relentlessly pointing to someone, anyone, outside of their own circle of ‘righteousness’ and political correctness, they have all managed to implant one view of reality in their voters and viewers, while at the same time engaging in the very behavior they accuse the people of that they point to. For profit.”

.US, Iran on Brink of Armed Conflict: War Scenario and Consequences

The US will start the operation with sea-based cruise missiles and air strikes delivered by at least two aircraft carriers and strategic bombers to knock out key industrial and military infrastructure. With this mission fulfilled, it will focus on weapons systems and concentration of forces. The air campaign will be supported by intensive drones activities and raids conducted by special operations forces (SOF). As hostilities start, world oil prices will go up.

Squadrons of aircraft, SOF teams, rings of interceptor missiles and whole Navy aircraft carrier strike groups supported by drones, surveillance gear, tanker aircraft and logistical support will be required to make it go.

***Of course, Israel, the reason for all this, is nowhere to be found in this scenerio***

.Trump and the Immigration Bureaucracy: Should We Expect Civil Servants to Dissent?

President Trump’s Executive Order (EO) barring entry from seven Muslim majority countries and suspending the refugee resettlement program has sparked public outcry, caused upheaval and suffering at the nation’s
airports, and prompted fast-moving litigation. It also has shed stark light on some critical questions about the relationship between the President and the bureaucracy. When the President has articulated a set of policy priorities, how can he ensure that they permeate the bureaucracy? The absence of strong political control and supervision can produce arbitrary and even chaotic government. But what happens if the arbitrariness comes from the top? If the President’s priorities are actually illegal or immoral? Should we depend on or unleash the valiant civil servant to check presidential abuses of power?

.In Honor of Shitty New Education Secretary, Trump Declares 3 = 3.49

The Trump Adminisylum is bailing out health insurance companies by redistributing money to them from old people, a key part of the platform that led 53% of voters over 65 to support him.

ObamaCare rules had capped insurance rates for old people at no more than three times what the insurance companies charge millennials. Pres. Fucking Trump has now decided that insurers should be able to charge old people 3.49 times their lowest rates.

.Trump Executive Order Sets Agenda For Police To Further Criminalize Protesters

Executive orders signed by President Donald Trump set in motion an agenda for escalating the criminalization of citizens, who engage in protest. This agenda will likely have a disproportionate impact on Black Lives Matter activists, immigrant rights activists, and Native Americans engaged in protest against pipeline projects like the Dakota Access Pipeline.
