Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Raw corn on the cob, maybe?
Cheap canned salmon. Love the bones.
Canned tuna mixed with a ton of yellow mustard (and some dill relish if I have it) and spread on saltines.
Salami and mayo on white bread sandwiches (one of my few uses for mayo).
Box Mac and cheese with tobacco sauce.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Not helping the "just took some new funding we haven't disclosed yet" allegations.

All I know is I've seen some pretty evil lists out there accusing users of antisemitism or Islamaphobia and other labels that I know they aren't and that seems to be just fine with the mods

This reminds me of the time I was overseas at a conference & UK media were reporting rioting in the city where I was.

I walked past the protest, and there was a student dressed as a dolphin. And the riot police were round the back having a quiet smoke because there was literally no need for them

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."
