“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

I hear there are two lovely swaths of land in Aberdeenshire and Ayrshire that might become available sometime in the not too distant future for wind farms. Or the government might just use eminent domain. That would be a fitting response to the owner who has made rapid climate change a priority.

Musk has already killed 600-700k people including tens of thousands of children. Musk and friends have tied the U.S. to a deliberate program of eugenics/genocide.

A Quinceañera balloon, I heard. No wonder they panicked and had to shoot it down!

That kiss is like the ones 8th graders share in a community theater play. My daughter, Beauty, had to kiss the Beast at that age and she was oozing an internal "ew, ew, ew" every time. You're sure Hawley is married to that woman? Spouse and I, in our 70s, do better than that - every frequent time.

She needs to serve our country in her new title of "criminal." She can follow in Mitchell's footsteps for the same crimes.
"John Mitchell, ... Nixon's U.S. Attorney General... became the first U.S. Attorney General to serve prison time. Convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury."

And he's not the first ICE agent arrested while attempting to buy sex acts, but at least this one seems to have been interested in adults. I wonder if he gets off wearing his mask to do the deed?

Nullification is when a jury won't convict even if the person is technically guilty because they think the defendant was justified in doing whatever. In this case, the GJ decided that no law had been broken, so not nullification, just a "you've got to be kidding, you moron."

& the 5th Circuit. They still rule will minimal regard to the actual law. And then there's Aileen Cannon, a whole branch of government to herself.

Currently ICE claims almost daily that someone has obstructed them with their car, and almost daily they are a bunch of documentable liars. This is just another way to cause citizens grief, time, and money - sticking it to the anti-fascists.

AG Pam Bondi will not testify before the House Judiciary Committee. She will spew venom and disdain at all Democrats. She will throw malicious accusations at the individuals daring to ask her a question. The ugly will ooze from every pore, but no information will be gained.

What's the point? $$$$ to private prisons/Trump donors, racism, terror, cruelty. Likely that T & Friends are getting kick backs.

Taoiseach (head of Irish gov't) Micheál Martin has accepted Trump's invitation to attend "the traditional, annual Shamrock Ceremony, which has taken place for decades, where the Irish [he] presents the U.S. Pres. with a bowl of shamrocks."
Maybe this year he should bring a bowl of wilted shamrocks.

If he has money in his prison account, he can make a 15 min. call for $5. Or at least that's how they do it in some camps. I expect his family is providing money. With all this publicity, he may find his account mysteriously drained by the bad guys.

I was wondering if a business competitor or a crabby neighbor reported him as illegal (he's not) for selfish reasons. Otherwise, why would they chase him down for a traffic stop? He probably has an Irish accent, but not the one ICE is looking for, nor does he have the complexion they're after.

Prop 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, wasn't ideal either. We disenfranchised Repub. CA voters in order to counter other states' gerrymandering to disenfranchise their Dem voters. At least Prop 50 expires in 2030 & the maps will revert. "Fire with fire" is sometimes necessary, if unpleasant.

Drawing by Gertruda Kestlerová while held in "the Terezín Ghetto, a holding center for Jews from Czechoslovakia, Germany, Austria, and other European countries before their deportation to extermination camps." She was one of 15,000 children held there until she was sent to Auschwitz to die at 12.

Another article (the one where they said the prisoners throw notes in lotion bottles over the fence) said that prisoners work all day for $1 and a 15 minute phone call costs $5. His family must be adding $ to his "account."
Do you suppose the guards take a percentage out of those accounts?

So handy for prisoners who deliberately ram their heads into brick walls resulting in 8 skull fractures front, back, and both sides. Also an option for children who get food poisoning from moldy food w/worms followed by no medical care. Records in these places easily altered.

I read a kid-autobiography with a group of 2nd graders. The book left out Ford's raging anti-Semitic views. Ford is indeed an American icon, but his love affair w/Hitler needs mentioning even in a book for 8 yr olds. Same for Lindbergh. Lindbergh Field needs to be re-named.
