#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

If this happened to me I'm pretty sure they'd have a reason to arrest me after I beat the agent to death with the closest blunt instrument

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Spark my balls, you capitulating hacks. Each and every one of you (and that includes you, Social Media Monkey) denigrates the name of your once-respectable institution.

Your mothers are ashamed of you.

When I was 19, my friends and I (stupidly) set off some smoke bombs in tall grass by the beach and ended up detained by some cops but ultimately let go.

The only time I've been to a precinct was to pick up a friend from the drunk tank the next morning.

I'm neither religious nor particularly superstitious, but if a 7.4 earthquake hit right as my wedding was starting, I think I'd go somewhere quiet and have a good long think

These are the same people that lose their shit over whom other people choose to marry, or what they choose to do with their bodies. They have no problem telling them what they're allowed to read.
