Ice Fishing in Portland

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Pam Bondi will look good sitting in court in a pair of cuffs someday, and I hope I live long enough to see it.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

CNN: β€œAn older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 β€” 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him.

Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

Acting as judge, jury, and executioner against civilian vessels would lead to war crimes charges with nearly any other country’s leader.

β€œ.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Good question from CNN. Maybe Jake Tapper could look into the memory issues more here.

Going back to that raid on the South Shore apartment building. It hasn't gotten much focus that the goons reportedly traveled the same way Patriot Front does: in UHauls.
