Be Smart. Stay Informed. Actively Dissent.
Only the best right? Only the best. Let's be smart about the terrible person nomination to lead ICE.
The Trump administration has tapped Matthew Albence to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the wake of the sudden resignation of its former leader. Albence.... has risen quickly under the administration.... with the type of hardline approach that Trump may appreciate.

In every aspect of life, there are complex decisions with a multitude of factors to consider and difficult choices to be made. Conversely, there are those that the dumbest person you've ever met can understand and make the correct decision. Except Republicans in 2019 are so corrupt, they go ahead anyway either figuring we are stupid or not paying attention.

In April 2017, Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at ending the ban on offshore drilling in certain areas. Smart Dissent painfully covered that here. In late June, Trump spoke again on the topic (see here), claiming that progress is being made to make his "vision" a reality and sell our environment to the highest bidder.

Corruption. That's the theme of our post this week. Republicans put into key positions in OUR government who are paid off by the industries that are supposed to be in charge of. Even when there have been hundreds of human injuries, lives lost, these GOP swamp creatures work tirelessly as servants for their corporate overlords instead of us.

When the history is written, America’s decline should be attributed largely to one man, and that man isn’t Trump. The most evil man in American government is Mitch McConnell. It was McConnell who took the filibuster from a seldom-used mechanism meant to ensure that minority opinions would be heard to a routine method of subverting majority rule. It was McConnell who famously promised to obstruct anything and everything Obama might do, irrespective of whether what was being obstructed was good policy, good for the country, or even if it had originated with his own party.
