Outside the Beltway

Some context.

It is all around us.

Preemption?

The President has threatened massive war crimes.

The iconic labor leader had a dark secret.

Apparently, masterminding an insurrection is a crime in some countries.

On his birthday, no less.

Pardoning just because he can?

Some criminologists have identified a new trend.

The finger-pointing continues

And maybe out entirely.

Gestapo is as Gestapo does.

And, like with Renee Good, it tells us that the administration is brazenly lying to us.

Breaking news.

The movies always make it seem so simple!

Just the latest example.

More attacks on political enemies.

Part of the never-ending story of abuse and corruption.

The NYT reports about likely war crimes by US forces.

Spouting opinions is far easier work that governing based on facts.

Reveling in cruelty.

The administration continues to show its ideological stripes.

A reminder the US government sent people to CECOT who were then tortured.

Cruelty in service of nativist purity.
