Toxic masculinity is not what it used to be…
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Thought the same today. Juries are part of the often-frustrating-but-much-better-than-fascism rule of law Trump is destroying.
Everyone happy about the sandwich guy not getting indicted has to agree to not try to duck jury duty the next time their name comes up. It's one of the few ways you as a random citizen can say "no, this is not justice" in our system.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.
