Do we get some Epstein files with our popcorn?

I suspect having to watch it could be seen as cruel and unusual treatment, which is prohibited by the UN anti-torture treaty 😳

Might be an idea to hand out victim support group fliers to folks who went to see it.

πŸ˜‚ I’d also sue for damages, this is clearly a hate-crime.

These ICE, USBP etc. thugs strongly resemble the early Nazi-party’s β€œSA” (Sturmabteilung).
If so, I hope this Bovine-dude realises what happened to the SA's leader Ernst RΓΆhm.

I still have hope that the US will be able to make a U-turn on this road to becoming an international paria.

Even us Dutch had a miniature version of this β€œmirror” 2 years ago.

How did we respond?
During the latest national election the right-wing was decimated, and we now have an outstanding progressive prime-minister-elect.

You can do this, America.

A portion of the current US population finds it easier to hate perceived minorities, than to look critically at themself.
In this, the US is alas not unique.

Please read: β€œOrdinary Men”, by Christopher Browning. It tells the story of how that statement became true.

Personally, I’m not holding my breath.
As a former officer in the Royal Netherlands army, I am however contemplating "re-upping”.

Clearly I don’t possess his level of wisdom (yet. My initial response to that meeting was: β€œMy expectations weren’t high to begin with, but holy f*ck!

Textbook terror tactic. Horrid, isn't it?
Chasing perpetrators of the more "modern" examples of this, used to be part of my job.
I'm glad it bothers you. Please never loose that sensitivity.

I like his train of thought, it shows insight in the ways to deal with a bully, and what that might require.

Funny thing is that by now you can roughly predict what's going ro happen during such meetings.

This atrocity has been - and still is - part of the standard high school History curriculum here in the Netherlands, and for very good reason.

A modern-day SA, or Sturmabteilung, the brown shirts of the early nazi party.
These Magats aren’t even original in the way they’re trying to take over your country.
