ICE will freeze thinking they're looking in a mirror at their dickish selves.

(It hurt so much.)

Overhead view of my wrists with my new tattoos. On my left wrist is an outline of Kermit under a watercolor rainbow, with the words, "Keep believing, Keep pretending" above. On my right wrist is the Starfleet Delta under a bright rainbow with the words "The Human Adventure is Just Beginning" above. I'm resting my arms on a pad in the tattoo shop, and a still have a few marker lines where the artist drew on the arms to find the center point.

I've said this before, but one of the more striking things about the current generation of righties is that they really show no sign of understanding that there's a world *beyond* their screens, beyond owning & being owned on social media. A real world, with real people & real problems.

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

In that big rant, I see nothing about peaceful clergy being assaulted.
But please, tell me how you're trying to save Christians and glorifying God!

To call peaceful protests “Hate America Rallies,” or smear Indivisible as “domestic terrorists” is completely absurd—and profoundly un-American.

Exercising our 1st Amendment rights *is* loving our country.

They’re trying to scare people into silence. Don’t let them.

See you Saturday. 🇺🇸

It is hilarious!! A satire publication buying anything of the bullshitter Alex Jones.
It pissing him off so bad makes it more enjoyable 😅

Possibly the funniest thing in here is Jones’ lawyers describing The Onion as his “ideological nemesis.”

The conspiracy theorist had asked the justices to immediately intervene, warning that the ownership of his Infowars website could be transferred to the satirical news site The Onion.

3) This thing is such a clusterfuck it threatens to implicate the entire DC USAO, from Juicebox Jeanine on down.

I've long been of the belief that criminal discovery will sink these political prosecutions. But the clusterfuck here surprises even me.

Here's what prosecutors--PROSECUTORS!!!--said last week about why they had not given Sydney Reid video to her alleged assault of an FBI agent.

She's seeking to get her case thrown out before it goes to trial this week.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There can be little doubt that the government failed in its duties, first by failing to collect
contemporaneous statements and other information from the officers from the incident and then
by neglecting to supervise the collection of that information, by relying on the officers’ conclusion
as to what is relevant and not relevant. Still, the government persists in trying to blame the defense.
Even at the hearing, the government deflected blame: “The ambiguity, I think, that arises here is
that we are trying to construct a very mundane incident three months after it happened involving,
I guess for lack of a better word, middle-aged people who just aren't great with technology, just
like everyone else in this courtroom.” Tr. at 10/10/25 at 14

The govt is also saying that DC's MPD has better evidentiary standards than the Eff Bee Eye, which would suggest Kash has been destroying things even faster than we suspected.

ICE? That I believe. Which is why everyone arrested by ICE should immediately get a preservation order.

3 The government disclosed over the weekend that neither the FBI or ICE have rules or procedures
governing the preservation of evidence. In contrast, MPD has a general order that requires officers to
preserve all potentially discoverable material, including any material which “may be favorable to the
accused.” MPD General Order 602.02 at 4.

Which is pretty telling, since Oliver's comments about Reingold's "reporting" shows how bad she is at reporting, in part by ignoring facts that contradict the false narrative she's trying to sell.
