With every new disaster, we learn more and more how a business man can have so many bankruptcies.

I'm heartbroken over Texas... I grew up there, and have very many friends and family still there. I decided to ask (outloud) why we weren't asking about the competence of those in charge like we were only a few months (weeks?) ago.

Here's a Juneteenth thought. How about Barack Hussein Obama accompanying an immigrant to a hearing?
Wherever he goes, his Secret Service detail goes, with the primary goal of protecting him.

I'm channeling my inner Elvis Costello and his scathing takedown of Thatcher when I post this of puppy-killer, slime-creature from bad botox hell. I'll sing, dance, and tamp the dirt down on her grave, probably with a big, long piss too.

I have questions. Is this AI or real?

If real, just imagine the amount of evil it took to force these prisoners into a scene designed for a camera.
