In the '70s it was pillowcases or paper bags.
The concept of a specific Halloween-themed bucket was alien. I would argue it's wasteful and unnecessary.
Decorate that pillowcase if you like. Make it a holiday ritual.

Elections, and the associated dismantling of the regime, is the best outcome for elites rolling over.

09.06.2025 17:49 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0If the prosecutor is obliged to choose his cases, it follows that he can choose his defendants. Therein is the most dangerous power of the prosecutor: that he will pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted. With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone. In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who has committed it, it is a question of picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him. It is in this realm-in which the prosecutor picks some person whom he dislikes or desires to embarrass, or selects some group of unpopular persons and then looks for an offense, that the greatest danger of abuse of prosecuting power lies. It is here that law enforcement becomes personal, and the real crime becomes that of being unpopular with the predominant or governing group, being attached to the wrong political views, or being personally obnoxious to or in the way of the prosecutor himself.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: βThe President's federal deployment of the National Guard over the official wishes of a governor is bad for all Americans concerned about freedom of speech and states rights. The governor has the authority and ability to respond to the civil disturbances with law enforcement capabilities within his state, augmented as necessary by requesting law enforcement assistance from other governors. There are over a million badged and trained members of law enforcement in this country for the governor to ask for help if he needs it. While this is presently a legal order, it tramples the governorβs rights and obligations to protect his people. This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.β
