What's the punishment for lying under oath? And does it really matter in this administration?
Rep. Lieu: "I believe you just lied under oath."
Pam Bondi: "Don't you ever accuse me of a crime!"
Rep. Lieu: "I believe you just lied under oath and this is all on videotape."

I'll ask once again...does having a hearing with Pam Bondi accomplish anything? We know she's protecting the president, not the people. And she will continue to do so because no one is holding her accountable. And she will continue to not do her job unless she's removed.

Honestly, is this hearing going to change anything? It didn't seem the last time she testified.
Pam Bondi is pure trash and an embarrassment to the legal profession and to what used to be a honorable institution - the DOJ.

It is 68 today in Albuquerque, and will be up to 71 next week. In February. This is not normal.
looked at the forecast for the next week and what the fuck. What the fuck. The thaw isn't supposed to be that hot in February. It's not supposed to be 50 until a random day in March that's sloppy and wet. I hate climate change

A reminder on the 47th anniversary of the Revolution
It's been 47 years of a brutal theocracy that oppresses its people, strangles its own economy, imprisons and kills dissenters, and rejects its history. The Islamic republic must fall.

At this point I am all out of ideas. I've thrown this out to everybody I can think of, including news outlets, Congress persons and Senators, Governor Newsom, Reza Pahlavi, Iranian celebrities, and adoptee groups, to see if anything sticks.
I can't bear to see her be deported. It would break me.

Lucy Harrison, a 23-year-old British woman, was shot to death by her father last year in Texas after they argued about U.S. President Donald Trump, according to an inquest held Tuesday. She was reportedly bothered by her dad's gun ownership, and things came to a head.

Trump is terminating $600 million in public health grants from the CDC to four Democrat-led states because he is a pinche pendejo.
His war on public health is incessant and painful.
All because we said that drinking bleach was contraindicated in humans and ivermectin does nothing for COVID19.

BREAKING: After we sued, DHS withdrew a subpoena seeking personal information about our client who criticized DHS' treatment of a man seeking asylum.
This is a win not just for our client, but for everyone’s First Amendment right to speak out without fear of government retaliation.
