My Dad, a Vietnam veteran, passed away in May from multiple types of cancer. Like every Vietnam vet who served on the ground, he had Agent Orange exposure. It's very hard to deal with the fact that this draft-dodging, know-nothing, silver-spoon slimeball is our President.

This is just scary. We're here. It's happening. It's almost complete. What are we going to do about it?

Seriously, what do we do next? Is protesting enough? I don't think so. FIRST is making sure EVERYONE knows what's going on.

This isn't hyperbole. We're being screwed as I write this.

Thank you. I'm a member of the DAR. It's in our bylaws that we don't discriminate based on race, national origin, religion, or sexual orientation. We're a strictly non-political organization as well. We do everything we can to make the organization as inclusive as possible.

COLBERT: You warned everyoneโ€ฆhe would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

OLIVER: โ€œItโ€™s understandable why Trump is struggling to get even his own base to take his word for it that thereโ€™s nothing to see here - because to do so youโ€™d have to believe everything weโ€™ve learned about Trump over the years is either irrelevant, or sheer coincidence.โ€

Most concerts have posted disclaimer "you are being recorded and we may use your image, etc." I doubt this guy has a case.

A few weeks ago I wrote about a South Carolina woman who had been arrested for a miscarriage.

I was lambasted with comments about how it was a stillbirth, how she was a horrible mother etc.

Today we found out it was an 18 week loss & she DID go to the hospital for care๐Ÿงต

Lallemand said he borrowed his friendโ€™s boat and was fishing near Venise-en-Quรฉbec, which is roughly 15 kilometres north of the U.S. border at the northern tip of Lake Champlain. He says he has been fishing for decades and is adamant that he was in Canadian waters when the Coast Guard showed up and told him to turn off his engine, to which he complied.

The three officers told him he was in U.S. territory.

โ€œI said, โ€˜No, Iโ€™m very sorry, Iโ€™m in Canada.โ€™ And I said Iโ€™m polite enough to talk to you guys but you cannot arrest me. โ€˜You canโ€™t come across the border and pick me upโ€™ but they did,โ€ he recalled.

Lallemand started his engine and said he wanted to talk with the officers by the shore, but the Coast Guard followed and tried to push him into the U.S., which is what caused him to go overboard.

โ€œTheyโ€™re tying my boat to their boat. Theyโ€™re not even taking care of me. The third time I went down, coming out with water in my mouth, spitting it out, I said throw me a buoy,โ€ he said.

Once on their vessel, he said he was aggressively put in handcuffs. โ€œI never saw somebody so angry,โ€ he said.

He was then handed over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, who fingerprinted him, put him in a jail cell with his clothes soaking wet, and gave him a โ€œdirtyโ€ blanket.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell.

In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know?

It's a sho you just have to watch. A plot summary won't do it justice. It's like reading a wiki summary of Death Stranding vs playing it. "So there's a baby in a juice box who can sense monsters."

"There's a lady who talks to a log and a woman obsessed with silent drapes."
