Yet only one party would be right, because the other is a lying, cheating, killing, crazy party.

Greatest wedding photo shoot evah! What a lucky (inspired) photographer. Although from her earlier work, "Groom worth 7 mil EU assaulted by goat," and the moving "Richie Rich Ring bearer surrounded by wild dogs," I guess we should have seen something excellent was in the works.

Thank you! So Nic6on is still the president who fell the farthest. But Trump is not so far behind that he couldn't be the winner of this race (to the bottom).

And I thought lowest-bidder contracts were worrisome! But grift contracts don't even try to meet building or safety standards I guess.

Well, ICE aren't military so the second indicted language is just impossible so not a threat. Like "Kill Klaxonica of Thordistric" If you are in fact, Klaxonica, I apologize and was just joking."

What is agnostic? Do I teach that a SCOTUS majority cares about Standing? Precedent? Plain meaning? Facts developed by District Courts? Consistency across administrations? Actual originalism as history? The 13th, 14th, or 15th amendments? (we the) People? Can one agnostically teach the truth today?

Powerful picture. I always choke up a bit when I see these lunch counter pics with violent rage filled whites. That is who we are. Who is the woman (white?) sitting down and reading from a book that looks like it is titled, American History and Equality?

Please consider at the very least a write in candidate which can express your protest far better than a non-vote? That way you will go to the polling place and at least vote for the very hard working good people actually on the ballot for all of your other local elections!

I worked in the criminal justice world since the 1980s. These raids are ridicule-worthy (let alone the killings). If these were great drug dealing lynchpins, they would now be in the US for questioning, flipping, and trial. Not hidden in Ecuador. Los Choneros? Pretty localized S.Am. prison gang.

After yesterday, I am thinking Patel might be the easiest first target with the fewest supporters. But Hegseth is a close second and it would make me so happy to pants RFK Jr. A key aspect of lower level impeachments is the very public evidence that'll be revealed by their competitors and victims.

Achille Mbembe has this line about the Enlightenment: "European discourse, both scholarly and popular, had a way of thinking, of classifying and imagining distant worlds, that was often based on modes of fantasizing. By presenting facts, often invented, as real, certain, and exact, it evaded
