When they went to the chief judge's office, Dugan directed the defendant and his attorney to a side door in the courtroom, directed them down a private hallway and into the public area on the 6th floor." Although, ICE showed up and had no warrant ? Certainly would be on brand https://bsky.app/profile/ryanclancywi.bsky.social/post/3lnimaviyvs2j

Well not a win in the sense of their initial goal. Funny if they had not bothered with Kiev and just focus on the east in the opening days of the war, probably could have reached this point sooner. Bit silly to have US cooperation with Russia as part of the deal though

Nah, RFK is going to conclude it's from vaccines probably, regardless of evidence. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-autism-study-medical-records/ People's reaction to it is tied into RFK Jr being a grifter, I think

Not sure it's Zelensky only liking suck ups like Trump, I think. They overreact to slights real or otherwise (hilariously sometimes as in the case of Podoliak and Louis Vuitton). Think someone said they have no proper experienced diplomat which is beyond lazy at this point, think they could borrow someone from Canada or something. Definitely should just kiss Trump's ass, although it'll work against his bravado rhetoric about wanting 1991 borders, etc

New WoW patch but the new grind is bugged, figures. I think Old Skies is out today, may grab that. Tempest Rising is out as well. Spoiled for choice

Bessent is probably going to eject from this circus soon

Was a joke on Fox News and their being a propaganda arm for Trump. Trump doesn't have a selective interpretation of facts, he's an outright liar. Not sure what doublespeak is going on here, but oh well. Trump trying to bash Powell, but good Lord his insults suck. I believe he likes the USD weak, as that'll help the exports. As long as other nations don't tariff the US back for some reason.

Why? The thread must be fair and balanced?

Met Vance yesterday then died, too. RIP though. I assume alot of the backwards US Catholics will be happy about that.

Happy Easter

Lamb for Easter.

"When the media and the far left obsess over an MS-13 gang member and demand that he be returned to the United States for a *third* deportation hearing, what they're really saying is they want the vast majority of illegal aliens to stay here permanently.

Well they made me a manager here, so that tells you everything you need to know. At least did my good deed for the month, helped a blind lady make her way to the bus stop on way back from voting. She was amused by my saying "30 degrees to your right", but understood it.
