The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Last time gas fell below $2 was in February 2021, shortly after Biden was elected. There was a fuel surplus due to nobody travelling during the pandemic. As of late October 2025, gasoline was averaging a bit above $3/gallon.
Trump's awfully worked up today, more errors than usual, extra bigoted. Feeling a little shaky about the elections?
“If affordability is you [sic] issue, VOTE REPUBLICAN! Energy costs, as and [sic] example, are plummeting…”

Independents blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown by a 2:1 margin.
Trump’s approval with people under 30 has completely cratered.
63% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s management of the federal government.
