They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

They hate government and the Constitution is all about government. And their fascist state is dismantling Constitutional government.
We should draw a target on Antigovernment dogma. Antigov!

I hope that the farmers and the #agriculture industry appreciate how much they are being alienated from the rest of America by getting lavish subsidies funded by the rest of us from a criminal president's unilateral and illegal tax (tariffs).
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

Well, some of those officers did not HONOR their oath and murdered people.
So go easy on the sweeping declarations that they are honorable.
When did they EVER follow that oath and refuse an illegal order?

2. Pretty sure they're not eager to be sent to Venezuela.

The United States military has been reduced to a group of war criminals. Stop the nonsense of thanking them for their service. They're simply a bunch of cheap thugs armed by American taxpayers and out to steal the resources of Venezuela. The International Criminal Court is watching.

Days ago, this guy blocked me for disagreeing on the military following illegal orders. Too bad, I was curious on his take.
Today a Bezos Post story proves my point that the oaths as defense of law, in reality, are a myth. Military brass almost never honor that oath.

Thanks. I read your piece. To me it is another case of the theoretical ("look at these oaths on paper") versus the sad reality (politicized and heavily Republican officer corps being purged by Trump).
Many debates come down to this divide. So, it gives me less confidence in the military.
