I'd like to apologise for different periods of history for this sentence both existing and being completely accurate.
The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

If **Jeffrey Epstein** thinks you're a evil and demented sociopath, the odds are overwhelming that you are, in fact, an evil and demented sociopath.

I've followed the Epstein story for years since a brave woman reporter wouldn't let it go.If there's finally a full reveal of Trump/Epstein what worries me is that MAGA will just shrug it off.This is not an evidence driven cult.

That's like 1.5 ICE agents/year.
Probably less than it cost just to fix potholes caused by Trump's birthday parade.

At last, my irrational annoyance with people who back into car parks is validated
As we head into summer, remember to keep combustion vehicles away from dry grass as they have a tendency to do this.🔥
This happened in NZ and 28 vehicles were damaged. Hopefully combustion cars won't cause too many forest fires this season.
