To start, US foreign service staff have a union contract that requires, of right, that they be brought home to the US for treatment — specifically if the disease is Ebola. And the courts in Kenya have enjoined Trump’s attempt at “a leper colony” — inside Kenya. Dammit.

[More than that, since at least 2008, we’ve had state of art (safely-quarantined) facilities, here in Atlanta and Omaha, Nebraska to treat them. But Trump is an entirely irrational fear-monger, as to such diseases. He’s a silly germaphobe — even though close contact is needed, to spread Ebola.]

And now — lawfully citing these precedents, local Kenyans protesting the attempted illicit US move… are being shot dead. This is to be laid completely at Trump’s “kankled” feet:

…Kenyan police shot dead a protester as hundreds of people staged new demonstrations on Tuesday against a quarantine centre in Kenya for Americans exposed to Ebola, eyewitnesses and a protest leader told Reuters.

Patrick Wahome, who has helped organise protests in the central town of Nanyuki against the facility, and multiple eyewitnesses at the scene said the man died from a gunshot wound to the head….

Two Reuters reporters, who did not witness the shooting themselves, saw the body lying motionless with a large wound to the head in the back of a police van.

A police spokesperson said he did not have information about the incident.

“Hooded police officers…. fired live bullets and arbitrarily arrested 19 protesters,” the non-profit Kenya Human Rights Commission said in a statement posted on its X account late on Tuesday….

Damnation — what an awful band of sociopaths this man — and his minions — are. Vote them out at the mid-terms. Do it.
