I am glad to see the pilot program has generated a lot of warnings and tickets. I still think it would have been easier and cheaper to buy a bunch of Go Pros and hire 100 people to ride around on scooters and bikes.

There is going to be a mad scrum for the 2028 nomination. Nobody is going to step aside for Vance.

I think there is something about Jim Kaat (played 1959-1983) facing Ted Williams (played 1939-1960). Add another pitcher who faced Williams in 1939 and another batter who faced Kaat in 1983, and 100 years of baseball history can be covered by 4 players.

They would probably refuse to follow the order. Most of them probably wish they could do what ICE is doing.

If you didn’t verify what they said was true, why did you print what they said? How many times does law enforcement have to be caught lying before you realize not to trust what they say?

It sounds like the driver of the Corvette is “privileged”, not the person riding a $400 bicycle.
