What happened in Minn is clear to any viewer. ICE has been encouraged to operate with impunity up and down their chain: Bovino, Homan, Noem, Trump. The only way to stop it is to try the murderer quickly and let a court decide just as they did with George Floyd's killer. The result of that was reform

Trumpists will be giving the ICE murderer awards and recognitions and honors. That’s because (1) killing someone who thinks differently than they do is their fantasy (2) most of them are too spineless to do it but (3) by praising the murderer they can murder in a fantasy-league way

The photo of Clinton, M Jackson, & Diana Ross is doctored to look like they were with exploited children. It uses a publicly available image of the former POTUS, Jackson, and Ross with their own children at a fund raiser. Anyone in the DOJ responsible for including this image should be prosecuted.

Most of Rob Reiner's work was fantastic, but I am just going to spotlight his role as Meathead on All in the Family. The was my dad's favorite show because he loved Archie's old school personality, but to little me he represented something new and different to aspire to. What a tragedy. RIP
