This is from the prosecutors opening statement in the judge Dugan trial, but under cross, the investigating agent just admitted they have no idea what “business as usual” looks like in the Milwaukee courthouse. Not going well for the government here.
Judge Dugan's clerk informed her that ICE was in the hallway.
"Then it was no longer business as usual. Then it was no longer a routine day," the prosecutor says.

A Tesla Robotaxi has been spotted in Austin, Texas with no safety driver! Only 8 years late!
Thing is, it's controlled remotely. Just like his fainting robot was!
Why are people such fools???
Only thing Musk has invented is tulip mania 2.0 and 1930s Germany 2.0.

Jones: Everything you hear from Tuberville is framed as a sports analogy. When you view everything that way, you’re always stuck in an us-versus-them, winners-versus-losers mentality. That’s how he operates.
But the fact that communities across Alabama are suffering is not a game.

To those thinking Russia is winning in Ukraine:
Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, we were almost four years into it, only occupied 20 percent, and lost a million men.
Not a soul would call that “winning.”

Me too. The vaccine for pneumonia only protects against one kind though. I heard that covid continues to morph. The vast majority think covid is over. It's not & our health departments r to blame for that. Messaging is virtually non-existent.

The Supreme Court refused to hear Ghislaine Maxwell's case on Oct 6th, bringing the final closure to the case.
Jeffrey Epstein was a State case, until one was filed in Federal Court in 2019(under Trump).
Yes, some Presidents could have spoke out, but ONLY ONE is refusing to release the files.
