Let's try this again.
Seems like a while ago I was told about a great new pub called "BlueSky".
I tried it, but it lacked atmosphere and the beer was unsatisfying.
But given changes at my old pub, I gave it another go.
And it's hoppin'!
I just hope the bouncers know what they are doing.

I saw the headline, and when I read the article - I was surprised to see how many syllables, and words, and punctuation, you needed to use to say “no”

These charges are so stupid. There was an ICE agent **in the elevator** with the defendant after he left the courtroom. But oh yeah, the state judge somehow obstructed ICE because she let the defendant leave the courtroom through a side entrance.
The Trump DOJ is run by morons and thugs.

Seeing claims about the judge "hiding" the defendant. Read the complaint, folks (written by DOJ). The guy was literally in the public area where the agents were. I guess he got on an elevator before they could get to him. The complaint says after letting the defendant exit she came back to the bench

Right now, we have an authoritarian president.
He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts.
Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.
