A dust speck stuck to a grain of sand floating through an infinite & indifferent universe—I enjoy pondering the futility of existence, also snorkeling & tennis. Author of harmless fictions, including the novel Any Other World Will Do (http://www.topfivebooks.com/AnyOtherWorld.html).
emptywheelHere's an example of the import of this. Bovino's goons were driving around Twin Cities (and before that Chicago, and before that LA) initiating violence against protestors.

McSpockytRump was too busy sleeping through a UFC fight at the WH to notice he'd lost a war.

"Vance got to the point. They needed to invoke the Insurrection Act, swiftly, to crush the unrest in Minnesota. It would be painful in the short term, he said, but the message it would send — that paid agitators could not get away with disrupting ICE operations — would make sure no one tried it again. (There was no evidence that either Mr. Pretti or Ms. Good had been paid activists.)"
