Our military has to feel dumb.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

There are photos of your dad with naked girls seized from Epstein’s property - per the FBI according to Sheldon Whitehouse in the hearing with Pam Bondi yesterday.

That’s the only story anyone should discuss - period.

Hello out there - where is the media?

I’ve been alarmed since he slithered down that tacky elevator with his paid escort and people didn’t laugh him into the ground.

I’ve only been more growing more alarmed since.

That’s why I blame his voters. They knew, they wanted this. They love this cruelty.

Do not let the off the hook. Send them the pictures of babies in zip ties and say you did this.

They knew. Just like the Germans knew. We cannot let them deny the horror of their choices. They own this too.

We’ll never know for SURE if he changed the 2016 results - but god almighty it’s pretty gd hard not to think it was highly likely he did 78,000 times in 3 states.

I believe it’s safe to speak for 99.9% of all organisms in all the solar systems that have sex organs - no, it’s never occurred to any of us, and thoughts of it keep us on our diets and minds pure.

Trump voters - I blame you. He is doing exactly the things you thought was so damn funny- the things you thought were jokes. We all told you, we warned you, we begged you - you said fuck your feelings and libral tears - well YOU DID THIS. This is all you. You put the zip ties on babies.

How do we get new leaders? I want to hear rumors that our democratic senators and house members are ready to elect serious leadership and chuck these two feckless floundering letter writers to the curb.

How do we do it?
