Still sick. Like Day ..7 or 8 now. No taste. No smell. Drained.

My cat is so annoyed that I go to bed so much he “cankles” me (wraps himself around my ankles to stop me from going to bed) or body drops all stretched out to block my path. 🤣

Is it Friday 4pm yet? 🫩😰

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

Hey ‘manmade’ underwear. Bought a pair - $44 - then reviewed - and they actually doxxed me and called me at home. THESE ARE MADE IN A SWEATSHOP IN SRI LANKA. Just an FYI. And now they have TV commercials. Fuck that!

These strikes are illegal for about 7 reasons:
1. Not self-defense
2. No (or any) Congressional authorization
3. No evidence of criminal wrongdoing
4. Occurred in int'l waters
5. No open state of hostilities
6. Criminal groups are not terrorists legally
7. No id on people killed or group targeted
