A memo to die for (or from)

Fortunately there are still a few sane people left in America. Unfortunately, none of them are in charge:

Yet here we are almost a full decade later. And we have the current president asserting the power not merely to imprison or eavesdrop on US citizens without charges or trial, but to order them executed - and to do so in total secrecy, with no checks or oversight. If you believe the president has the power to order US citizens executed far from any battlefield with no charges or trial, then it's truly hard to conceive of any asserted power you would find objectionable.


For this truly bizarre "legal" memo to go unchallenged, for the killings to continue, for this most monstrous "President" to NOT be impeached, means that the United States of America has ceased to exist.

I don't know what to call this place any more, but it ain't "America the Beautiful". Things are starting to get very ugly around here.
