Assim Alkhawaja decided to start driving for rideshare apps to supplement his income while he worked to get a coffee shop business up and running in Oceanside, California.

Roughly two months later, when Alkhawaja was dropping off two Marines at the nearby military base Camp Pendleton, he ended up being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and sent to Otay Mesa Detention Center in San Diego.

While undocumented people have long avoided military bases because of the possibility of deportation, a pilot program launched last year at Camp Pendleton is trapping people with temporary permission to be in the U.S. so that officers can send them to immigration detention facilities and try to convince them to agree to deportation. According to local attorneys, Alkhawaja is among dozens of people detained by ICE at the gates of the U.S. Marine Corps base even though they had temporary permission to be in and work in the U.S.

“It’s a business,” Alkhawaja said. “This is what I found out in the detention center. We are just numbers that generate income to big corporations.”

Tried for crimes against humanity

5. Judgment at Nuremberg

There's a movie out on Netflix --- Nuremberg -- very well-done. I equate Stephen Miller with Hermann Goerhing who was found guilty of a lot of vile stuff, sentenced to hang. He somehow got his hands on a cyanide tablet and cheated the noose by two hours.

I hope I live long enough to see Miller on a scaffold on the National Mall -- which is where they all belong -- and leave them to rot as a warning to the MAGAts who survive.

7. I guess I should make it a point...

... to reiterate on a daily basis the irrefutable fact that corporatism is a malignant cancer that invariably kills its host, and it will destroy America if it isn't dealt with by whatever means necessary.

Maybe my tagline should be: "Corporatism is what Mussolini preferred to call his form of government. America's version of Fascism 2.0 just has better tailors."

8. Agree with your equivalence of corporatism fascism. However "better tailors"? Witness trump's bags.
