Middleboro Review and so on

In 2017, JOHN DEAN wrote an insightful article worth reading. Among his observations that still ring true are the following:  We know enough about authoritarian supporters from research, and history, to know it will be very hard to change their minds about the leader they adore. They are extremely ethnocentric, dividing the world sharply into people in their in-group, and automatically disliking all others. They feel politicians who promote minority rights and immigration discriminate against them. Donald Trump tells them they are right. He is their champion. They are highly dogmatic. They get their ideas from others in the in-group, especially from their leader, not from evidence and logic. They say there is no evidence that will make them change their minds. They’re quite comfortable believing “alternate facts.” They get great satisfaction from being part of a large movement. Being in a cohesive crowd at rallies thrills them because they silently tell one another, just by being t...

+ 1,600 COMMENTS WORTH READING!  Today, I penned a letter to the Prime Minister and my Member of Parliament. It said that I object to any visit to the UK by Mr Trump, and I object to his being received by the King. A simple one-line letter. Any Briton can do it, any Canadian too. Let's follow Bernie Sanders' example and DO something. We CAN make a difference! “We want criminals out of our country,” Says the biggest criminal who brought Tate brothers back into the US Come on media, let's start talking about Trump's cognitive decline please! Drove past a tesla dealership yesterday , and hundreds of people were protesting. He does this when he doesn't want to answer. He did the same when he said he never called Zelensky a dictator. In other words, his dementia is in full display. Always the same - "I didn't do it, I didn't say it, I don't know him, I don't know anything about it" A pathological liar, narcissist, and psychopath can never be pi...

Contempt Joyce Vance Mar 22 In July of 2007, I was the appellate chief in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in North Alabama when Judge William Marsh Acker, may he rest in peace, requested that my office prosecute Dickie Scruggs for criminal contempt. Scruggs was a well-known Mississippi lawyer with a civil case before Judge Acker, involving allegations of insurance fraud that impacted Hurricane Katrina victims. Judge Acker believed Scruggs had violated the terms of an injunction entered that required Scruggs to turn over documents in his possession. Judge Bill Acker The then-U.S. Attorney in Birmingham   declined  to prosecute. That didn’t end the matter, though. And what happened next is instructive for those wondering how Judge James Boasberg might handle a similar situation in the Alien Enemy Act case, where the government seems disinclined to provide factual information regarding contempt allegations the Judge is reviewing. In our situation, Judge Acker did what he was entitled...
