NOT A ASS OUT PASS OUT PHOTO They didn't have to do my guy like that
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.

all these little asterisks make an incoherent worldview in the same way a liberal may "support" trans people but skimp around the actual issues that affect trans people from the cost of hrt to security of housing, the latter of which is incompatible with a liberals idea of capitalism

so you don't see them as men?

okay but what about the straight and bi trans women who date them, are they evil?

I'm really tired of people pretending that this is about whether or not the essay was bad! It's not. It's about trying to purge trans people from society. The student called the TA a fucking demon, man. Do you know what that's like?

Denver confidence based numbers:
Higher confidence forecast than usual. After 9a totals will be the wild card in Denver.
Airport/official obs will probably come in 2-3" lower than downtown.

America does not have capital punishment for selling or smuggling drugs and none of these people were arrested or tried. There could have been mountains of cocaine in open view on the deck of the boats and it still would have been murder of unarmed civilians.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

The refusal to consider DC Statehood is largely a reluctance to give DC two Senators, which itself is a tacit admission that the United States Senate is an anti-democratic institution.
Statehood for D.C. is an ethical obligation at this point, required to protect the rights of our residents to govern ourselves against such out-of-state troops being sent to patrol our city.
NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

He "battled sleep" in the same way the Washington Generals "battled" the Harlem Globetrotters
Trump began today's Cabinet meeting by criticizing questions about his stamina.
"I think I’m sharper than I was 25 years ago," the president said, later mocking "Sleepy Joe."
Then he appeared to battle sleep for more than an hour.

The issue about killing the last 2 survivors is secondary: Trump and Hegseth have ordered *83* murders, not 2.
None of these people were ‘enemy combatants’.
They were suspected drug smugglers until proven to be guilty in a fair trial.
Without that, they were murdered.
That is all.
