And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Robert of Sicily
This is an Aesop classic story for kids about a king and a crazy man. As with all Aesop tales, there is always an interesting and thought provoking moral.

A must read thread if you have interest in the roots of bigotry in our country. It's hard to admit that this is who we were and continue to be in too many circles.
Question: When the head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights division tweets out a false statement about an individual that results in them being barraged with death threats based on their religion and ethnicity, which governmental agency would look into whether that student’s Civil Rights had been infringed?

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

Why is Congress turning their backs on Ukraine?
Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.
And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil
