Apparently, business in Portland and Chicago are exercising that 'We Reserve The Right To Refuse Service To Anyone' thing. Restaurants, hotels, and bars are declining to sell food to ICE personnel or to allow them to use restrooms.

I feel a teensy bit better about the free market.

I don't recall the city where this happened, but people gathered outside a hotel where ICE was staying and made all kinds of noise through the night...pounding on drums, chanting, shining lights at windows...it was wonderful to see.  More and more people have had their 'nough of this bullshit and are finding non-violent ways to show it.

I guess MAGA isn't going to get the James Comey perp walk they all were drooling about.

Apparently, the government had a hard time finding someone to prosecute Comey. More than one (I want to say ‘three’) declined to take the case because it was very weak.

Boru

The National Review's Andrew McCarthy, who seems able to come up with a fitting rationalization for even the most absurd right-wing bullshit, examined what is known about the facts and concluded that there is no actionable claim in the Comey case -- that which is actionable isn't in the indictment, and that which is in the indictment isn't actionable. It's a bad sign when one of your most unfailing boosters of right-wing lunacy isn't on your side.
