Oh, look...another distraction from the DOJ/ICE overreach.
and still not the full release of the Epstein files, by any count.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Sometimes change has to start small.

We are having entirely too much fun with this.
Did we ever figure out if we are or are not related? I don’t remember. It was back when we were talking about the character of Mags Bennett on Justified & the inspiration for her.

The last visit with my mom before she died (2008? in her 70s, & my near-50s) she drops this bombshell with my wife & I -- "I just don't understand what the big deal is. I slept with a woman back in the war." We *and the kids* (early 20s?) were just stunned. 😧
