Chinese GF has informed me this is called "scrubbing the wok" (hence why there's foamy water in the middle) and you can see a million more of these videos if you search 越野刷鍋 (off-road hot pot).

The video is of course of Aurora IL PD cops beating the fuck out of minor kids exercising their constitutionally protected rights to assembly and speech to protest police state brutality against their friends and family
During a student-led walkout protesting federal immigration arrests, three students from East Aurora High School were taken into custody by police, but video has some questioning police tactics.

Pam Bondi isn't really testifying before Congress. She's performing for Trump. She doesn't give a crap about kids raped by Trump's pal or people murdered by federal agents on the streets of Minneapolis. It's all a game for money and power. Nothing else matters.

This is terrorism.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

They think they are entirely immune from rules.
holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

Hang on, that's not a press report, that's just a summary of "99 Luftballoons."
So the DOD started laser testing because they believed party balloons were drones, shut down all of El Paso airspace, and blamed it on Mexican cartels?

I went to the same dentist for years in my 20s and 30s. I left because he made disparaging comments about women, and I called him on it, told him he was being “sexist.” I remember his assistants freezing as I said the word.
Funny story! He’s in the Epstein files!

In one message among Exum's texts, Chicago is referred to as "Chiraq."
Parente: "The people who are making it Chiraq are a bunch of federal agents patrolling around Kedzie — which they can't pronounce."
