remember the video of Dickless J Pedophile when someone approached the stage he ran, Ilhan ran towards the guy to whip some MAGA ass. Dickless, ran away and shit himself even more than usual.

shocker!!! The ole, "the dog ate my homework defense" or in this case, it is not that we can't find the subpoenaed surveillance footage, we just did not record for those two weeks that is subpoenaed.
New: DHS now says that two weeks of missing surveillance footage from ICE's Broadview Detention center isn't "missing," it was never recorded in the first place and thus can't be produced in an abuse lawsuit. An utter shitshow:

There are a ton of these each year, I can't remember which one I got invited to when I was doing my writing stuff, but they asked me, it was for charity, I paid $100 and played. I stunk of course, but I had some very very minor celebrities in my group

so imagine, what would have happened if the Alamo was abandoned and the men marched to make sure that Henry Smith was Governor. Now imagine if the other Texas army marched there to put their guy into power, all of this happening with Santa Anna marching.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

Sounds like some teams are looking for multiple players, I would think that means Hader or Abreu in a trade with a hitter

it's kind of like 9/11, where everyone was just focused and all consumed (as they should have been) about the planes flying into the buildings and all those people dying
This is the 2nd execution in a week of the government murdering a citizen in public and lying about it just like they do in Russia
It's not just you. You are not alone. I can't turn it off either. I woke up at three am reanalyzing what has happened and what will come. We will make it through this. Shitty things will happen. We will not accept them. We will refuse to let them permanently change our country. We will be ok.
