My wife and dog are the best of their respective kind. Also, golf, Seattle sports, beer, advertising, music, and occasional politics.

I think today was an inflection point - maybe small, but real.

The President, having launched a global trade war, feted in the Oval Office a Central American dictator who runs a mega-prison known for starvation and torture - a prison to which our government has, by its own admission, sent at least one person "in error."

They disappeared a man without a single criminal charge who's lived and worked here for 15 years - who was alleged to be a member of a gang based in a state he never lived by one anonymous informant. No other evidence. No trial. No conviction. Nothing but a legal order that he not be deported to El Salvador, where he's now serving a life sentence.

The Supreme Court just ruled, without any noted dissent, that the government must facilitate the man's release.

But Trump and his dictator friend said no. They laughed. They mocked the journalist who asked whether they'd abide by the Court's order. The Attorney General, the Secretary of State, and the White House Deputy Chief all lied about the facts of the case. Then the President repeated his proposal to send American citizens to the dictator's prison, and asked him to build five more.

The same day we found out that the government knowingly disappeared a PhD student for nothing but an op-ed, a man's 19-year old son who agents admitted was the wrong kid, and a visa-holding Russian scientist at Harvard who forgot to declare frog embryos at the border.

But: it's all breaking through. It's getting more coverage. More people are paying attention. More elected Democrats are speaking up. More conservative pundits and legal scholars are speaking up. Even Joe Rogan thinks it's bullshit.

Now we have to keep pushing. This is much bigger than immigration or deportation policy - this is about whether we live in a free country or a police state. It's the whole ballgame.

@PuckSports They've got levers to pull to make it better. But not a bad debut. As a golf sicko, I was entertained.

I would bet this is roughly what will happen. As people's real wages continue to rise (as they have for 2 yrs), and 2019 recedes in the distance, people will adjust to current gas and grocery prices. They'll see unemployment is low, stock market is up. And start to feel better.

@bellevuegc closed at the moment, someone rammed the gate early this AM, police working to get him out of the parking lot. #bellevuegolfcourse

Open now! Good job @BvuePD

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

The 9th inning of tonight's @Dbacks - @Padres game featured:

a grand slam (Thomas)
a go-ahead HR (Grichuk)
a game-tying HR (Profar)
a walkoff HR (Machado)

It's the first time in MLB history 4 different players accomplished those 4 feats in the same inning of the same game.
