Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them.

Putting on my suit and tie and going on America Erwache to describe a 234 year old basic requirement of the constitution for lawful searches and seizures as a “nonstarter.”
Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

If approached by ICE as a citizen:
Do not answer their questions and walk/drive away. You are under no legal obligation to speak to them. They have no authority to stop you unless you are being detained

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

1. Yes, Trump launching a new military operation overseas without Congress’ prior declaration of war or authorization of force is almost certainly unlawful.
2. No, there is no real chance the courts will stop it.
Unfortunately our Constitution means little when the judiciary won’t enforce it.

Extra-legal killings of people who are drug smugglers is really bad, since they could not be executed if arrested.
Extra-legal killings of people who are MISTAKEN to be drug smugglers is a necessary consequence of a policy of extra-legal killings.

LOL at the chief economist at Apollo (>$750B in assets under management) inventing the term "Voluntary Trade Reset Recession" to avoid calling it what it is, the "Trump Recession."
This isn't some rational economic plan with thoughtful tradeoffs, it's one dude's malice and incompetence.
