Six days ago, the President of the US used the US military to abduct the President of Venezuela and his wife, and killed many Venezuelans in the process. I do not know the number. A day later in a press conference, he said that the staff members who were also on stage would just “run Venezuela” for the foreseeable future.
It should be noted that this is fucking crazy.
Yesterday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel shot a woman three times as she was driving away from them, after having intentionally blocked the road and causing them some delay. Administration officials, including the President, immediately started spinning the shooting as an act of self-defense despite no shortage of footage taken from multiple angles by civilians that show otherwise.
The Washington Post says: “An analysis of video footage raises questions about claims by President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem about the fatal shooting in Minneapolis.“
Raises questions does a lot of wok there and to no good end.
Tokyo Weekender is an online journal I found in the last week or so. Their article on Oosoji fascinated me. SEEB was doing a fair bit of Oosoji at the turn of the new year — and the new year’s period has always been more interesting/important to me than the week of Christmas. It seemed useful to contemplate similar impulses from different cultures.
