It’s a painting of a pipe.

So wait. The Uptown Theater wants us to go Downtown and find them on the west side?
And have we dropped the term "Downcity" too?

850 cops
23 arrests
Yeah, that sounds like a wonderful use of resources.

Wasn't this the plot of a couple Succession episodes?

It should be framed as fairness and equity for all. Emphasize the real struggles for many, and don't just put a word or catchphrase on it as those can be taken over.

Maybe it'll look a little like Camden Yards. The excitement of a HR ball banging off the brick building and falling into Lansdowne St.
One point I think you missed is whether the Citgo sign, now a landmark, will be hidden. That sign is a part of the monster as well.

That would be hilarious if a farmer's market refused to sell him a pierogi.

As of January 3, crime was at historically low levels. So if it's now a dangerous place, what changed since then? Is it the occupant of the White House?

If DC crime rates are up, we know who was President then.

If the POTUS can take over the DC police, why didn't that happen on January 6?

LOL, Russia can't even defeat Ukraine after years yet some there think they can take on the US?

I would have thought there are tow companies who'd love an exclusive deal to sit and wait for accidents and their compensation is the towing fees. Not a retainer to sit there.

It's too bad that Alan Dershowitz isn't a lawyer. Otherwise he'd know the SCOTUS determined that shop owners don't have to sell to everyone. Remember the baker who refused to make a cake for a same-sex wedding?

Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."

I'm old enough to remember when conservatives said the job should go to the best, most qualified person. Seems like they lied.

That sounds a little like:
"I'm having some doubts about whether this religion thing is real."
Response: "Trust me, bro."

GOP: We don't think undocumented immigrants should count in the census!
Also GOP: The census undercounted our states.

How do we know that? Have you seen a list, JD? If there's a list, release it unredacted.
Unlike the GOP, lefties will want everyone on it prosecuted. Everyone.

I think the people he plays with don’t care. Just like when Kim Jong Il claimed to shoot 18 holes in one and no DPRK people cared or challenged it.

But on Friday, Felger told us the Sox players would start sulking after the trade deadline because the team didn't make any big trades.
Why did Felger lie to us?
