The awkward 9-second pause near the end of this clip from Tuesday's Dallas Police Oversight Board meeting is really something.

A board member asked DPD how residents should respond to lawless federal immigration enforcement. After the pause, DPD gave the correct answer. Everyone needs to hear it.

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

THOMPSON: What does that mean?

I've come to the conclusion that MAGA just likes to be lied to.
Awful: Trump just admitted in a new interview that he knows "very little" about the Honduran ex-president he pardoned. This guy trafficked a gazillion times more drugs into the US than anyone Trump has executed. Wrecks his case for the boat bombings.
