Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.
She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."
But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.
May she rest in peace.

We have an 88 year old woman complaining that her 6 bedroom mansion in Kensington that she bought for £4000 in 1970 may now be subject to the mansion tax. Inflation adjusted, £4,000 in 1970 is about £55,000 now. For the current value though? "She suspects it is now worth about £4 million"

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free.
Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

So not only was the DC shooter granted asylum by this administration, but he also has ties to the CIA and was even in possession of a CIA-issued ID. This administration gives one no choice but to entertain conspiracy theories.

Because it's a bribe. Same reason I cannot accept gifts from suppliers (or potential suppliers) at work.
And I'm pretty sure if someone gifted me a Boeing 747, I'd be taxed to fuck on it as a benefit in kind.
