Liberal. Policy Wonk. A true dark lord of the facts!
Just speculating here, but I'm going to guess the real story is this:
Dude was filming them, had his gun since he had a permit, never pulled it, agents saw it and shot him. But *claim* he pulled it as a total lie to justify the shooting.

If Trump is *pardoning* drug kingpins (follow the money of course) while also killing drug mules, how far away can we be before he just directs law enforcement to ignore favored cartels that paid him off?

The Today Show has been extremely disappointing this morning covering the illegal order controversy.
The UCMJ itself says that soldiers, sailors and Marines have a *duty* to disobey unlawful orders.
Yet Today has chosen to play up that what Dems did was "controversial."

The SNL MacGruber skits last night were funny, but I think a bit obscure.
It doesn't seem to be out in the wider media sphere yet that Epstein was using "McGuyver" as a code name for Trump in some of the released emails.
But being in the know about it made the sketches infinitely funnier.

The Venn diagram between the "Epstein was murdered" conspiracists and MAGA is almost a perfect circle.
Yet the conspiracy theories haven't evolved to consider a Trump coverup even though they easily could given known facts because MAGA is a cult and cult leaders don't get the conspiracy treatment.

Turns out the Golden Age of MAGA was an Epstein cover-up, 600,000 Chinese students, H1-B jobs for Indians, massive deficits, pardons for fraudsters & drug traffickers, blowing up boats, 50 year mortgages, tariffs on everything, higher prices, a ballroom, & al-Qaeda in the Oval.

Gotta wonder if ABC understands Dancing with the Stars was so well watched tonight because Tom Bergeron is back.
That's why they got the "most votes ever."
Huge mistake letting Tom go. And he was right. Keep politics and political animals off the show.
