Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

You can be the most loving, compassionate person in the world... but... if you’re not actively guarding your mind...you will become desensitized to human suffering...in ways that are far beyond what you would ever consider acceptable.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

yeah, I saw that crappy X Files episode, it doesn't work out for anybody. Sleep is when the brain clears out waste, every other function in the body will break down without that waste clearance. It's also the time when the brain files away memories. There is no human functionality without sleep. 🧪
“DARPA has funded pharmaceutical companies + researchers to reduce sleep deprivation, w/ the long-term ambitious goal of operating w/o any need for sleep in the field. And 🇺🇸 isn’t alone: militaries 🌏-wide are exploring how to keep their soldiers awake + functioning when sleep is in short supply.”
