No, the government hasn't bought land for internment camps in Cambridge, Mission Hill

Amazingly enough I agree with you. Not funny at all. Not even remotely funny.

We're already on edge, let's not add to it with fake crappola like this.

It's not meant to be in the least bit amusing.

But it is an apropos bit of social and political commentary.

You're not supposed to like it.

That ten seconds between seeing this picture and learning it was a hoax must have been glorious for you.

And he has not categorically shut them down, but rather left the door open:

Please show me one example of anybody defending FDR for instituting internment camps (and using his political party as an excuse). Your worldview where nobody with an R next to their name has ever done anything bad and nobody with a D next to their name has ever done anything good fascinates me. I can't wrap my brain around how anybody could actually think so simplistically about something so complicated.

It was a hero Democrat, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who signed despicable Executive Order #9066 on February 19, 1942, forcing Japanese-Americans out of their homes and into internment camps.

Absolutely nothing that FDR, or Abraham Lincoln, or John F. Kennedy, or Ronald Reagan, or Woodrow Wilson, or anybody else in the past did, bears any relevance if you're trying to evaluate the two parties and see where they stand, or where you stand relative to them.

This isn't a game of "my people are better than your people, and in support of my position I'll point out that your great-grandfather stole a goat" Only tribal idiots think that way.

Fish states that "misuse of the Great Seal of the President is a serious crime." This simply is not true.

Section 713, Title 18 of the US Code clearly articulates what constitute the federal offense of the misuse of a Presidential Seal. While this particular section of the code does not identify whether such action constitutes an a felony, the penalty for committing a violation of the code does.

In the United States, where the felony/misdemeanor distinction is still widely applied, the federal government defines a felony as a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year and or a fine of up to $250,000. If punishable by one year or less, it is classified as a misdemeanor.

Section 713 states that a conviction of the federal offense of the misuse of a Presidential Seal specifies that the penalty is up to but not more than 6 months or not less but more than 30 days confinement OR a fine of not more than $5000. This distinction renders the offense as a Class B misdemeanor and dependent upon circumstances may only be prosecuted as simply an infraction (resulting in at most a fine).

Incidentally Fishy, the Cambridge Police do not have jurisdictional authority to act upon suspected violations of the USC - they may (possibly) refer it to a federal agency but not interject themselves.

You now, for someone who alleges he worked long enough as a cop to qualify for retirement, you don't know much about the law - and you sure make alot of factual goof-ups. Jesus, man, if you lie, can't you at least do a little research so your falsehoods at lease sound plausible.

What's next, going to tell us that you get your passport stamped with Reagan International Airport designation when landing there on a domestic flight originating out of Boston?

...is a sentence, I've got several bridges to sell YOU.

However, it might interest you to know that the Trump administration is planning a 500% expansion of detention facilities, which stands to make somebody (or maybe several somebodies) a great deal of money.

I said it in another comment: the signs aren't a joke. They're a warning.
