Trump’s North Korea Rhetoric: Carbon Copy of Bush On Iraq 15 Years Ago

Posted on by

“Anyone who was paying attention during George W. Bush’s State of the Union addresses in 2002 and 2003 would have found Trump’s statements frighteningly familiar: Trump used exactly the same justifications for war with North Korea as Bush had for war with Iraq when standing at the same podium.”

Trump executive order keeps Guantanamo Bay military prison open

Posted on by

“J. Wells Dixon, a lawyer at the Center for Constitutional Rights, said that formally making it U.S. policy ‘to detain Muslims forever without charge in an offshore prison’ is ‘politically expedient but exceedingly stupid no matter how you look at it,’ except as a terrorist recruitment bonanza.”

The State of Our Union: A House Divided, Enslaved & Mired in Past Mistakes

Posted on by

“The list of abuses being perpetrated against the American people by their government is growing rapidly: SWAT teams crashing through doors. Militarized police shooting unarmed citizens. Traffic cops tasering old men and pregnant women for not complying fast enough with an order. Resource officers shackling children for acting like children. Citizens being jailed for growing vegetable gardens in their front yards and holding prayer services in their backyards. Drivers having their cash seized under the pretext that they might have done something wrong.  Brace yourselves. We are approaching critical mass.”

NSA Gets Honest About Its Lack of Honesty

Posted on by

“By eliminating these references to honesty, trust, and openness, the NSA is now actually more honest and open about what it actually does—secretly spy on people, including American citizens, and resist any effort to let us know how extensive the surveillance is.”

The Myth of Trump’s ‘Global Retreat’

Posted on by

“Trump hasn’t forfeited America’s global leadership. On the world stage, his is a new flavor of the same dish. America is still playing the futile role of global cop, still reigns as the only superpower with a globe-straddling military presence and is still picking fights in distant regions remote to US national-security interests. The fact that it is Donald Trump at the helm of all this is fooling observers into thinking more has changed than actually has.”

Donald Trump Flaunts the Dangers of Presidential Power

Posted on by

“Barack Obama left office as the first two-termer in American history to have been at war every single day of his presidency. In his last year alone, U.S. forces dropped over 26,000 bombs on seven different countries. Trump blew past that tally nine months into his tenure. Indeed, this putatively ‘isolationist’ president has deepened entanglements on every battlefield Obama left him, ramping up airstrikes, kill-or-capture missions, and civilian casualties.”

Senate Shuts Down Rand Paul Filibuster Against Surveillance Act Renewal

Posted on by

“Today’s vote means reforms to provide stronger Fourth Amendment protections from unwarranted searches will not happen and a filibuster can’t actually stop the scheduled vote. The USA RIGHTS Act is essentially dead, unless the full vote fails. (Spoiler: Since the renewal bill survived a cloture vote, it won’t fail.)”
