🦝Coon goes on a Bender🍸🍸🍾found wasted on bathroom floor, gets free ride to the animal poky, released on bail, no public service duty required, sounds like he made out like a bandit🦝
The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

So much “winning” by DOJ you know I just can’t stand it 🙄

As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.

The world edged a small step closer to the end of the fossil fuel era on Saturday, but not by nearly enough to stave off the ravages of climate breakdown.
Countries meeting in Brazil for two weeks could manage only a voluntary agreement to begin discussions on a roadmap to an eventual phase out of fossil fuels, and they achieved this incremental progress only in the teeth of implacable opposition from oil-producing countries. Continue reading...
