Special place in hell for the person who decided hotels should not have actual doors on bathrooms.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Have you ever been to LA? Do you know what is happening there? How many Dodger fans do you think will be happy with them visiting Trump? Remember when the Nats did that? Did it make most of their fans happy? Haters just gonna hate.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

Since I didn’t add any analytics tracking on purpose for privacy reasons to zeenster.com I have no actual idea how many people are visiting it / using it. But based on the ingress logs I can tell probably around 500-1000 daily visits since I published which is pretty cool.

I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

A teenage 4channer was beat up by two 15 year olds in DC, which was spotted and quickly stopped by nearby police. He told his friends, the richest man in the world and the Vice President of the United States, that he was pummeled by a dozen adult Romanians. A week later, Trump federalized DC police.

So far this year we have mailed over 3,000 packages of books to prisoners across the country, and we'll send thousands more by the new year. Can you help us with the cost of mailing more books to prisoners? Postage is our largest expense, and every cent is needed! Donate at linktr.ee/dcbtp

"The books you send us warms our minds and imaginations and the love you include by offering up your time and efforts selecting the books warms our hearts. I do not have words strong enough to express my gratitude and appreciation for you." - Ronald from AR. Our #1 cost is postage - Help us send books today! linktr.ee/dcbtp

Our #1 expense at DCBtP is postage, and when you send around 8,000 packages a year that can really add up! Every cent you can spare helps support out entirely volunteer-run organization and goes towards sending books to those with nowhere else to turn. Donate at linktr.ee/dcbtp
