I’d say it’s also a problem that the sort of people who use the Internet to find people to beat up are idiots, so even if they aren’t going out of their way to victimize minorities, odds are they’ll just beat up some random person.

In his dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson, John Marshall Harlan cited one of his objections to Louisiana’s public transit segregation law as being that it effectively left the execution of policy to railroad porters. Homer Plessy was a light-skinned Creole man whose family was free before the Civil War. He would have enjoyed roughly equal rights to Whites up until the first generation of Jim Crow laws in the 1870s. Harlan pointed out that the criteria for “White” and “Black” for the purposes of segregation was not solid, just being whoever was in charge of the segregated facilities looking at them and determining what they are.

There is nothing new under the Sun.

He does and thus far nobody with the power to say otherwise has.

I wonder if he’d lift all the bans, like he did with Xitter, considering he is responsible for a decent chunk of them.

In light of the Trump Administration, a lot of the terrible shit other Presidents have done is a lot less noteworthy.

Remember Hillary’s emails?

I wonder if the people who go on about it actually understood the implications of the email server, or just reacted when Fox told them to.

I seriously hate these people more than Trump.

I mean, did they do literally no research into what his policy proposals were? What the repercussions would be for those in her line of work? Did it not occur to her that the migrants she pays shit wages to were the people he was ranting about deporting?

The answer, of course, is no. She did no research. She dedicated no meaningful thought to it. She wanted to fuck the liberals because they put Harriet Tubman on a twenty dollar bill and she heard about the three trans athletes in her entire state and that was about where her consideration of the matter ended.

On a just barely positive note, we dedicate a frankly stupid amount of funding to keeping farms going despite their being laughably uncompetitive, most of the funding not really helping our food supply or economy, so it would probably be for the better if these cuts stick and idiots like her are forced to actually run their farms like businesses instead of thousand acre welfare queens.

Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll go through with his denuclearization plan and that will finally be the straw that breaks the camel’s back and the military will take him out.

How depressing that our best case scenario is a military coup.
