The photo might depict an ancient, giant millipede, [FN1] but the rows are not legs of an extinct arthropod. A shaved human head & bare human shoulders make up each row. The photo is from the El Salvador prison where trump’s admin sent ppl alleged to be in “gangs.” [FN2] 1/9

Of the 238 deported, 179 have no criminal record. [FN3] This is a story that CBS, CNN and AP have covered. [FN4] One assertion re stories adverse to the trump gang is “the media are liberal & biased” [FN5] uses a fallacy: an ad hominem argument. [FN6] It’s also bullshit 2/9

because it is not true. Heywood Broun said media are not biased toward big business; they are big business. trump’s people acknowledged their goons made mistakes. [FN7] An assertion avoids labor of research. A compliant & ignorant audience almost is a must. 3/9

The man who presides over The Most Corrupt SCOTUS in History, John Roberts, is miffed. He doesn’t understand why trump would blow off SCOTUS orders. [FN8] Here’s a clue, Johnny: you gave him immunity. And he thanked you ON TV at the State of the Union speech. 4/9

The only way trump could have degraded our judicial system more is if he had taken an envelope of cash and stuffed into your robe. Yes, you said your job is like that of an umpire, only calling balls and strikes. No one realized you were thinking 1919 World Series. 5/9
