What was her objection to how he was sitting? Was it WHERE he was sitting? THAT he was sitting? If it was indeed HOW, what could he possibly be doing to object to, that conductor would agree? I doubt it was anything to object to, unless it was what he was doing while sitting. Story is incomplete.

I agree but I don't know what it should be. The existing structure and policies of the regime don't allow any effective action. Maybe at least attack the bullshit like Noem's latest rant. Use words like lie, traitor, murderer, thief, rapist...

He replaced Sr leadership in the services down to a level where taking a stand has more risk. Say no, get relieved of command, court martialed. My dad fought a legal but stupid order in Korea that might have killed his entire battalion. He was right; they knew it, dropped it. Ended his career.

Sadly, all too true. Most of the current leadership earned their status in a different world. Unfortunately, few if any are able to recognize this is not the old "give a little/ get a little" political world. It is winner take all, and that requires fighting. Real fighting. Street fighting. Nonstop.

So far, the known treatment of prisoners/detainees by this administration falls just short of what was done by or under the authority of the defendants. But just barely, and there are vastly more victims.

My dad was on the Guam War Crimes Comission. He told me a lot of stories. They established precedent for the Tokyo trials. Yes, we need such a commission, not just to investigate, like the j6 one. To PROSECUTE. No appeal to SCOTUS. And lock them all up the whole time.

We have a gang of fascist billionaires doing their damnedest to make it moot. They hold the offices and have the money. Individual mobs of people can't do it. I think the states with $ should cut off feeding the monster. That would be like rolling back to 1780, before the Constitution was passed.

Believe me, we wish it was that easy. To do that we need to throw out the Constitution. Its design 250 years ago to create an overall central government for 13 then independent colonies made sense at the time, although many of the founders felt it had serious vulnerability. They were right. Now
