That's why he usually wears that stupid cap.

For now.

Funny, we've been training friendly nations' military personnel for decades at our military installations without giving any of them their own facility before. Guess none of them ever gave POTUS a $400M gift before.

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Don't know if Austin has trademarked that phrase, but they sure use it like they have.

Yeah, I know, I lived there & worked for AMD from 1996-2001.

felskopf @felskopf.bsky.social · 1d

If only Austin were in a different (non-red) state, that could be cool. It is, after all, the "Live music capital of the world."

Is that Robert O'Neill, the Navy SEAL that claims to be the guy that fired the shot that killed Bin Laden? 'Cause it sure looks like him.

What? 'Gaslighter' Mike Johnson lying, fabricating, & prevaricating?

felskopf @felskopf.bsky.social · 1d

Little Stevie Miller ain't gonna like that.

They didn't invite ICE there. They don't want ICE there. It isn't their responsibility to protect ICE.

felskopf @felskopf.bsky.social · 1d

200 soldiers ain't shit enough to do anything. Don't they realize that there will be all sorts of terrorists salivating at the chance to kill American soldiers. If sending troops, should be at least a couple thousand to include support & force protection.

We have become Trumpism, devourer of humanity & knowledge.
