This is a video of ICE walking shackled and handcuffed CHILDREN out of the loading dock at DTLA at approximately 8:45pm on July 10th
This has gutted me. How can this be allowed to happen in our country?

Understand that the Halligan thing is 100% Pam Bondi's fuck-up. She could have appointed Halligan Special Attorney and this thing would still be alive.
So it's not just that HALLIGAN is an incompetent bigot.
It's that Bondi is too.

As if the Ukrainians and the Europeans didn’t already know what’s on Putin’s “wish list”. 🙄
King: According to Secretary Rubio, this plan is not the administration’s position — it is essentially the Russians’ wish list that is now being presented to the Europeans and to the Ukrainians.

Iirc, and I think I do, at the time Khashoggi was murdered, he was actively investigating the ties between the Trumps and the House of Saud. Why is that not mentioned in every article about yesterday’s presser in the Oval Office?

The Democrats called out racist shitbags and serial sex offenders.
If you heard those attacks and felt they were calling *you* out personally, then that's entirely on you, champ.
The rest of us white guys didn't hear that. At all.

Dems didn't brand "white dudes" as the "bad guy" as Portnoy suggests. We branded people who support a toxic, hate-filled convicted felon who abuses women and lies constantly about everything as the bad guys, and they just happen to be disproportionately white men.
