They are living their second best life with PopPop and his three girls (all pictured but almost like a where's waldo).

Isobel Carr @isobelcarr.com · Sep 24

Unfortunately she has not been able to say goodbye to her sweet pugs. They are with our father being spoiled (and bossed around by his three girls). He's had them since the end of June when she went in for her first round of chemo.

She connected you & I in the old place about Bluey. She constantly talked about Doom. Even a month ago she found a whale quilting pattern and said she wanted to make it for him. So please know she was always thinking about you and your family.

I will tell her tomorrow when I see her. I know she valued your friendship (and had me send cookies at the beginning of the pandemic!).

This I don’t understand. I live in a rural area. Many of us are gun owners. Most are sportsmen. Folks I know can fit their firearms in one safe. What you see below is a problem of paranoid suburban white guys who accumulate guns like Beanie Babies because it is fundamentally a hobby.

IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

A family outside their home. Their deck is loaded with guns.

A man in his living room. His living room is full of guns. There's also a big safe labeled "Liberty."

PSA: If you're at FanExpo Canada this weekend, take a moment to stop by the Bell Canada A I Photo Booth to tell them how upsetting it is that they're undercutting the artists of Artist Alley by offering free A I photos (that's trained on the stolen art of creators) to attendees.

also and much more importantly, Texas v. Johnson literally already considered the exact two reasons which the Trump administration is saying that they can prosecute people for burning flags for and declined to allow the government to prosecute the burning of flags for those reasons

Nor does Johnson's expressive conduct fall within that small class of "fighting words" that are "likely to provoke the average person to retaliation, and thereby cause a breach of the peace." Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, 315 U. S. 568, 315 U. S. 574 (1942). No reasonable onlooker would have regarded Johnson's generalized expression of dissatisfaction with the policies of the Federal Government as a direct personal insult or an invitation to exchange fisticuffs. See id. at 315 U. S. 572-573; Cantwell v. Connecticut, 310 U. S. 296, 310 U. S. 309 (1940); FCC v. Pacifica Foundation, supra, at 438 U. S. 745 (opinion of STEVENS, J.).

Thus, we have not permitted the government to assume that every expression of a provocative idea will incite a riot, but have instead required careful consideration of the actual circumstances surrounding such expression, asking whether the expression "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action." Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U. S. 444, 395 U. S. 447 (1969) (reviewing circumstances surrounding rally and speeches by Ku Klux Klan). To accept Texas' arguments that it need only demonstrate "the potential for a breach of the peace," Brief for Petitioner 37, and that every flag burning necessarily possesses that potential, would be to eviscerate our holding in Brandenburg. This we decline to do.

He's ALSO a perjurer. During his confirmation hearing he lied about Roe vs Wade being settled case law. So did Alito, Comey Barrett and Kavanaugh. The American Bar Association apparently doesn't care that 4/9 of the SCOTUS is compromised of liars. We need documentation of the regime's crimes.

Wanna reform SCOTUS? Here’s how: actually hold people accountable for committing perjury.

These are bullshit charges. Trump's trying to take over the Fed because they won't bend to his bullshit.

Fed legal expert Peter Conti-Brown: “So the idea that you can then reach back, turn the clock backward and say, you know, all these things that have happened before now constitute fireable offenses from your official position is to me incongruous with the entire concept of 'for cause' removal.”
