The corruption of this administration is beyond understanding.
Would not want to be on the side supporting them.

I'm just kind of numb to the news now. Apparently a year of this presidency is all I could take and I'm done processing all of it.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I'm so busy with the church and what I'm doing with the Bible College. I'm going to be limiting my time on social network. I appreciate everybody on blue sky, but if you don't hear from me too often. I'm just dealing with essential things in life. God bless you all.

Imagine if four years into our war in Iraq we had only occupied 20 percent of it and lost 1.2 million men. Would anyone say the US is winning?
No? Then how in the hell can you say Russia is winning?!

Don Lemon wasn’t arrested for disrupting a church service. He was arrested because the Trump administration wants journalists afraid. This is intimidation, plain and simple.

Don Lemon’s Arrest Is a Warning to Every Journalist in America

First thing I notice is one name is missing and only one name redacted and the length of the redaction suggests someone famous enough that they're a) only listed by their last name b) may be—therefore—one of the reasons the chart was created (and why they're one of the names left off the full chart)

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.
*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

Tillis says he opposes ICE being barred from wearing masks: "I've seen people dox me. I've seen people take pictures and identify law enforcement officers and then put their families at risk. So, I think that's a step too far."
