Horrifying!
So what’s to stop people from dressing up like ICE and attacking and kidnapping ICE members? How would we know the difference? If they are allowed to hide behind a hood (oops mask) and just take people, civilians don’t know who is an official federal employee.

Wallace: To hear him do his “bit” about it—it’s trivializing the gravest part of the job. And to think about him actually being in that capacity again, as the country’s only commander-in-chief?
It’s tragic. It’s really one of the most tragic parts of having him back as president

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

The only way to truly make Brexit work...
...is to bury it six feet under and join the EU as full members again. That way Brexit can fulfil its true function as a blip in history that serves as an important cautionary tale.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left?

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason.
If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half.

Evil comes from a failure to think. It defies thought for as soon as thought tries to engage itself with evil and examine the premises and principles from which it originates, it is frustrated because it finds nothing there. That is the banality of evil. - Hannah Arendt
