This is âmanifestly illegal.â There was no immediate threat to anyoneâs safety. The use of lethal force is illegal. Itâs murder. Considered manifestly illegal because a 5th grader would understand itâs illegal. By far, itâs the most illegal thing this Administration has done.
About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, whoâd had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what wouldâve happened if they hadnât been vaccinated. âOh, theyâd have died.â
Even the military, when dealing with someone in a designated foreign terrorist group, there still has to be an imminent threat to someoneâs safety before engaging with lethal force. That imminent threat did not exist in this situation.
If cabinet is hoping the guy who wrote the fascist playbook will give advice on stopping fascism then we are in trouble. Adorno reminds us that clever people were the first to be suckered by the fascist playbook because they thought they could outsmart it. There is nothing hidden in their plan.
