I hope Democrats today are planning aggressive prosecutions for what will likely be a full docket of crimes against humanity someday. If they fail to meet the moment, other parties will no doubt be pursuing their own forms of justice.

The guy in the SUV told the woman he was police and was looking out for car thieves.

In our tiny Vermont town this week, a resident noted she interacted with a guy in an SUV parked near her house with its lights off. She then reported, "When I got to work I received an email from state police saying that the man is homeland security, and to not be concerned."

The only difference between now and the previous 80 years is that now we openly brag about our global extrajudicial killing program

I highly doubt they will respond that way. It's what they want.

Germans today who listen to his speeches say Hitler didn't have a special rhetorical gift; he meandered and repeated himself a lot. Some want to believe he just mesmerized the population but many Germans sort of wanted a guy to channel their anger. More parallels to today I suppose

My daughter, studying to be a PA, is home for the holiday. Not sure she’s seen this news and I’m not sure I want to call it out to her during her break. Sucks.

Hope you’re right! It depends upon how much quality management will be willing to sacrifice to save on labor costs. There’s a lot of dumb managers out there
