GOP = Racists, racists, racists

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

This is a great idea

Here's an idea for the Democrats: Have a victim or two of Assad's torture chambers testify at Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation hearing.

Soulless ghouls

Just like the weapon that cut Jamal Khashoggi into pieces

 Normally, I'm all for any athlete making as much money as they can--their careers are often short, can fade in an instant, and they generate untold millions for their corporate overlords.  And had the LIV Golf Series originated in Japan or Mexico or Australia I wouldn't have batted an eye as numerous professional golfers bolted the PGA for greener pastures.

But when an association is the brainchild of Saudi Arabia, led by Mohammed bin Salman whose claims to fame include responsibility for the torture and murder (his henchman, the Tiger Squad, literally cut Khashoggi into pieces while he was alive) of journalist Jamal Khashoggi for being critical of Saudi Arabia's piss poor record on human rights, the murder of countless civilians, including women and children, in Yemen with reckless bombing, as well as the crushing of women's rights...something isn't quite right with selling their souls to the highest bidder.  And for men who are paid quite handsomely for basically hitting a ball into a hole with a stick, it's unforgivable.

And also note that their spokesman is Ari Fleischer, George W. Bush's former press secretary whose resume includes helping Bush lie America into the Iraq War (5000 dead Americans, 30,0000 wounded, and over a trillion dollars wasted for nothing), helping to out CIA agent Valerie Plame, and defending Bush's use of torture, forever destroying America's credibility on the world stage.

And just because it's not surprising that a bunch of pampered rich boys wouldn't give a fuck about anyone but themselves, doesn't make it any less disgusting. 

One does have to wonder, though, how long it will be before some sect, similar to ISIS or Al-Qaeda, takes a dislike to a bunch of rich white boys taking home so much Saudi Arabian cash while their fellow Arabic citizens wallow in poverty and numbing human rights abuse, and decides to take matters into their own hands....

Monster, inc.

A look at Donald Trump's soul...

Though he's tried to walk it back since (and good luck with that), Donald Trump's response that he believed Kim Jong Un when he said he didn't know what happened to Otto Warmbier (American intelligence agencies have concluded that he was basically tortured to death by North Korean authorities--for stealing a poster) shows just how craven and amoral he truly is.  For as bad of a President as George W. Bush was, does anyone believe for a minute he would have sided with a man who runs his nation like a concentration camp?

And for his claims to have been misrepresented, they're just so much bullshit.  He's so obsessed with impressing the Nobel committee that he wouldn't say shit if Kim gave him a mouthful because Kim might shut down the talks in a pique of anger...oops, too late.  News flash:  the Nobel committee doesn't give Peace Prizes to people who claim Nazis are good people, blow up the Iran deal, destroy decades old unions with Europe, and fellate murderous tyrants like Vladimir Putin.

Can you imagine the pain he caused the Warmbier family siding with the man who had their son beaten to death?  I went to the Merriam Webster web site to look for synonyms for inhuman and was unable to find anything that matched the depths to which Trump has abased us all.

Anyone still thinking that Donald Trump has the interests of ordinary Americans at heart can quickly disregard those thoughts. 

Donald Trump doesn't have a heart.

Nothing to see here

I haven't written anything about the recent report released on torture done in our names by the American government, but this poll sure opened my eyes:  by a 59-31 margin--that's right, almost 60% of us--Americans believe the use of torture is justified to obtain information from suspected terrorists.

And it's a slippery slope that leads from beacon of freedom to despotic nation.

I don't know exactly how one changes the thought processes of Americans on a policy that not only stains our national image but shows a decided lack of empathy for human suffering, but I have to wonder how most Americans would feel if rectal feeding or waterboarding were used by suspected terrorists on our men and women in uniform.

I fear I may not like our response to that one, either.
