Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.
Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.
'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

I want to do a one-woman show that is just me reading this testimony
“Now he’s STRUCK me with the SANDWICH!”
“I could SMELL the onions…”

“And MUSTARD!”

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Trump is stunned that there is a whole day for giving money to charities
Trump is surprised by the words in his teleprompter: "Today is Giving Tuesday -- I don't know if anyone has heard that one before -- but it is indeed Giving Tuesday."

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1
