“Notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein played a role in convincing Bobby Kotick to embrace loot boxes, essentially gambling for children” what is this sentence, what is this world

question for the senator: if ICE does leave Minnesota, which state do you think they should go to next?
Welcome home, Liam. A 5-year-old should be in school and with family — not in detention. I’m relieved he and his father are finally headed back to Minnesota.
Now ICE needs to leave.
Now ICE needs to leave.

The screenshotted post is wrong. The 2028 primary will not not revolve around Biden. It will revolve around the 2016 primary, as everything must, forever, until our bones become dust
The national press desperately misses having Biden around to beat up, so they are vowing to make the 2028 Dem primary all about Biden ... and having the gall to pretend that it's *voters* who want this.

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume
An unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume angrily confronted Santa Clara city officials during a joint meeting of the City Council, city authorities, and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority on Monday, using his public comment to condemn the city’s stance on cooperation with ICE.

But this isn't true. That's not how either democracy or freedom of speech works. You can totally not vote, and then complain.
People who try to sell this, are usually people trying to get a racist, transphobic, fascism-lite Dem candidate over the line with a "Trump is worse!🤡" positioning.

I think there were about seven people who watched Trial & Error, but if you enjoyed that show, Stumble (NBC/Peacock) is from the same creative team and you’ll likely find it to be worth your time
