Q: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?"

Trump: "No. I think they haven't gone far enough”

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.

Spotted at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Halloween bash:

Giant ice sculpture with built-in luge. Pour booze in the top funnel and it chills and shoots out the bottom.

This monster? Likely $5K+ for one-time use.

In California when Cannabis became legal under prop 64 at first foodstamps were not affected. But in 2019 right before the election to win conservatives Newsom made it that if you go to a legal dispensary & buy enough you lose your GR & SNAP so for having Genetic Epilepsy I lost my SNAPS. Not new.

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago:

"He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

BREAKING

Prince Andrew will no longer be a Prince of the United Kingdom.

In an extraordinary move, Buckingham Palace has announced that the King is stripping him of that style.

Presumably, he will now be known as Andrew Windsor.

The Palace also stated he has been ordered to leave Royal Lodge.

"His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew.
His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation.
These censures are deemed necessary,
notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him.
Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse."

You know the part of the cop show where they invoke right to an attorney & one shows up in a couple hours?

Yeah that’s not really how it works

You will need to be quiet for a long time

They may make you feel like you need to get your own lawyer & maybe you do!

But maybe you end up waiting it out

“I won’t speak to you without an attorney

& I don’t have an attorney

So I will not speak to you.”

when an attorney shows up, if they’re good, they will also tell you, do not talk to cops!

Scripts to say something & then shut up:

I invoke my right to be silent without an attorney present
& I do not have an attorney
so I will be silent.

Am I under arrest? May I leave?
