1. That;s exactly what General McCaffrey calls it.

Gangster governance.

2. It's certainly accurate, half of the population is afraid to go out since they could just disappear with no trace

So much for democracy and due process...

4. I don't know what happened. There were two videos for The Last Word, the first one I posted was Jamie Raskin

But when I went to post the second one, it disappeared, and now Jamie Raskin is gone. Lawrence O'Donnell wasn't on tonight, nor was Ali Velshi. I watched it live as well and the host is on one of their new weekend shows. I have no idea why it was removed, Jamie Raskin is always worth watching. Sorry about that.

5. The platform...

Is getting strange, other videos won't play sometimes and require a sign in.

They're probably trying to find a way to make us all pay for info.
