Awwww so sad. Apparently, it is "anti-law-enforcement" for real law enforcement to disallow fake law enforcement to use the bathroom. Does this police stati9n have a public bathroom? Do they allow camera crews?
This is so completely staged and stupid.

I replaced my Pixel 6 with a Pixel 9 today and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what the 'feel of it reminded me of... The iphone4. I think that was my last iphone, and honestly one of my all time favorites for form/fit/size. The Pixel 9 is like getting android on an iphone 4 & I'm stoked.

Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."

a domestic terrorist grips a woman by the throat in a choke hold. Another domestic terrorist comes up and pulls his hand away to stop the choking - even this fascist knows it is a step too far - and the hero in the photo tearfully holds up a peace sign with stoic grace

It's a genre unto itself: finding old Charlie Kirk quotes and showing how they justify pissing on his grave. Good. Now focus on the living people who are taking up his repulsive legacy.
