Outside the Beltway

Tough guys actions don’t solve massive problems.

Who needs evidence and due process when “bad guys” are involved.

(While murdering people without due process because of [checks notes] drugs.)

A clear violation of the laws of war. But do they apply?

A childhood friend claims he had PTSD from his actions.

A suspect, an Afghan national, is in custody.

Thinking about how what is known about Trump and Epstein.

After months of demanding Republicans resist, he says “We have nothing to hide.”

Newly-Sworn-in-Rep. Grijalva provides the final signature.

Not even a misdemeanor.

He becomes the first French ex-head of state to be jailed since Marshal Pétain.

I guess if we fail to vaporize you, you get treated like a criminial.

Of license plate holders and perfume bottles.

Trump exploits our mistaken beliefs about crime to consolidate his power.

By law enforcement.

The horror! The horror…

Hyperbole? Dishonesty? Distraction? Fantasy? Too much cable TV?

The Feds raid an apartment building in Chicago.

Trump hires only the best!

The evil of others rarely brings out our best.

Blowing up boats because they might have drugs on them is not justifiable, legally or morally.

Serious abuses of power alongside an almost cartoonish set of behaviors.

Sounds to me like he admitted to taking the bag of cash.

Allegations of shutting down an investigation.
