Sheriffs across the country make it a point to publish booking photos of every person they arrest and they run them in the local paper.
we are losing so much talent, progress, and hope for no good reason www.vox.com/future-perfe...
Haven’t seen that. Good?
Muriel’s Wedding. We’re doing it.
The Trump regime has been constrained by its budget being managed by Congress. The more cash it can take in with these bribes, and with other illegal activities like oil piracy, the less it needs to concern itself with our increasingly ornamental legislature.
Maybe you could report plainly that this is corruption and it is illegal.

I'm curious, where is this money even going? They've fired all the independent auditors. Do we know this is going to the treasury? Where does it go from there if it does?

Did some rough measurements on building a canal around the strait of Hormuz. It'd be about 350 miles long and 120 meters high.
The Panama Canal, which took 33 years to build, is 50 miles long and 26 meters high.

If we could just raise sea levels by 150 meters we get a backup Strait of Hormuz
This is a good question what country are we talking about
