The people who used violent insurrection to obstruct a peaceful transfer of power want us to believe that Judge Dugan peacefully exercising control over her own courtroom is somehow obstruction of a government agency known for violating due process & torturing innocent people. Absurd.

A terrible outcome.
A jury convicted a Wisconsin judge of obstructing federal agents’ arrest of an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, giving President Trump’s administration a win in its prosecutions of public officials who have challenged his agenda.

"It’s easy to slip a fifty between the covers of a book without sacrificing the tradition of physical gifts. (You can even put the money near the end of the book if you want to be slightly evil—which, as an aunt, you should be, if you possibly can.)"
This Holiday, Give the Auntly Gift of Books

When I was a teenager one of the most unmitigatedly good things anyone could do was oppose, vigorously, apartheid. There were concerts. International boycotts. Whole-ass action movies. We protested at consulates.
Among the nominees just confirmed is Leo Brent Bozell III, a far-right activist and critic of the fight to end apartheid, who Collins just approved to be the United States AMBASSADOR TO SOUTH AFRICA.

Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

Because they released the Sept 2nd video already!! Just not the part where they illegally killed the survivors. There's nothing "top secret" about the second strike if there wasn't anything top secret about the first one.
