"Atta boy", Epstein responded.
In November 2016, Epstein texted the supervisor that another CBP officer had been “nasty”. “I will speak to him!” the supervisor responded. “I will handle it, formally.”

saw Crime 101 and it was every bit as enjoyable as I'd heard. kinda Heat-lite (Heat Jr.? Baby's First Heat?) but Halle Berry is so good it almost gets a little Jackie Brown-ish at times. plus Barry Keoghan is a wonderfully chaotic little goblin, I love him

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994
