Politico notes that the appeals panel hearing our case had deep reservations about the government’s arguments, with Judge Patricia Millett asking: “Can the president then offer on eBay to sell them, all of our national security secrets, to the highest bidder?”

The government’s response was, in short, “yes.”

Are good people really good people if they make the world safe for evil people?

Maybe those aren’t good people. Just passive people.

There was a time when openly calling yourself a nazi, for example, would have gotten the shit kicked out of you. And rightfully so. Now good people just don’t respond.

I’m a little bit old, but that came with a genuine lack of shit for my own safety.

I’ve gotten into 3 solid fights in the last year with the kind of people you see in London Tommy Robinson rallies.

I really like the idea that I made this time quite shit for a couple of bald head racist dickheads.

I think they should be scared of being proud racists.

I’m as white as they come, I’m also bald, I’m also old. So it’s really difficult for them to point at me and accuse their imaginary immigrant enemy.

I hope they’re still hurting.
