Baltimore ex-pat. The opposite of the Fresh Prince (Bel Air->West Philly, among other reasons). I'll give a "go birds" but they'll be orioles and ravens. Libraries rule.

in the song Opalite, Taylor Swift describes a problem as “a temporary speed bump”
my issue with this illustration is that all speed bumps are by rule temporary
a “permanent” speed bump would just be a brief incline into a new raised flat surface
i have been on hold with the bank for 13 minutes

The Trump Administration claims the agents who shot Alex Pretti have been put on administrative leave, notwithstanding Greg Bovino’s prior short statement that they were simply reassigned.
There is no reason to credit this assertion as truthful.

Can't stress enough that when the opponent is reeling, you have to keep throwing punches before they can recover; and luckily, because the fistfight analogy only goes so far, we can all keep throwing and throwing and throwing without fear of draining our gas tanks

I think the thing that killed the administration was that they were so gung-ho to find a reason that Pretti deserved to die that they accidentally declared that that the second amendment isn't real.
I have been waiting for this signal from Senator Rand Paul.
Senator Paul, Chairman of Senate Homeland Security Committee follows House committee. Sends letters to heads of ICE, CBP, USCIS to testify in public hearing.

He knows he's cooked.
President Donald Trump will not be attending Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., he said in an interview with the New York Post.
“It’s just too far away,” he said.

Other folks have already noted much of this, but I think the MAGA 'theory of victory' here is:
1) DHS provocations trigger a riot or attack on agents which
2) Leads to widespread civil unrest in many 'blue' cities so that
3) Trump can invoke the insurrection act and send in the troops...

Curious if anyone has a plausible theory of victory for the administration if it were to invoke the Insurrection Act.
How does the administration "win" in such a scenario?
Best I can tell, it is magical thinking by a certain somebody at the White House, but maybe I'm missing something.

So, my lecture for Tuesday is about how government troops invaded an American city and shot several people, then declared that it was justified because their troops were being harassed by locals ruffians.
Any advice on how to get through this lecture without completely losing my shit appreciated.
