And doesn't it just FIGURE that TONY ROSS is a retired fucking ALABAMA STATE COP.
For SOME reason, they won't give a statement to anyone. Nor will their lawyer.
Guess they realise it isn't a very good look, having an 85-year old ailing widow THROWN IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP to get her money.
Scum.
The real villains here are her stepsons, who had ICE drag out of her home in her NIGHTGOWN & shipped to a Louisiana concentration camp.
If ever two assholes deserved to be stalked & harassed for the rest of their miserable lives, it's TONY & GARY ROSS of ALABAMA.

While we're at it...
What's the name of that hero who was rescued from the plane crash in Iran?
Anybody seen a picture? Heard from his happy, relieved family? Wife? Kids? Friends?
ANYONE?
What, still being debriefed?
Or so BADLY INJURED he can't be seen?
Doesn't mean he can't be NAMED.
I can tell you right now...
It's bliss.
Suspicious, indeed.
Concerns, indeed.
Watch the bank accounts of the TRUMPS.
Put a picture of his ear before the "shooting" and a picture of his ear last week.
Even MAGAs don't believe it.
Say... what was the name of the guy who shot Donald Trump?
Remember when we would hear the names of these guys immediately & repeatedly?
We've heard NOTHING.
Crickets.
I think, if you make your way to the end of the article, what that really means is that even when this regime is gone, the DoJ will not simply be magically restored.
All that institutional knowledge and experience is gone. They’ve taken other jobs, not coming back. It’s fucked.
“I don’t know."
Every day, in every way, he is destroying our government and our country.
Bit by bit by bit, incompetence, corruption, apathy, and deliberate malfeasance conspire to dismantle the entire structure.
He wants to bring it down around our ears.

The headline gets shared millions of times - the retraction is posted fruitlessly in the comments sections.
I’m frankly surprised he didn’t call it the fucking Strait of AMERICA.
Took them long enough.
UGH I fucking hope not.
Genuinely laughed aloud at this, thank you.
It actually DIMINISHES the impact of how horrific this shit is.
“Oh, it’s NOT 62 million? It was ONLY a thousand men and tens of thousands of views?"
To let a completely INCORRECT reading like this spread like fucking WILDFIRE across the globe, to the extent that the entire fucking INTERNET runs with it for 24 hours before it’s corrected (they’ll repeat it for weeks, too) is unconscionable.
I'm first to admit, I've posted a lot of ill-considered shit in my time; read a headline wrong, misinterpreted all SORTS of stuff.
But if I'm CATASTROPHICALLY wrong, I either clear up the record immediately with an edit, or PS - or if that’s not possible, just delete the fucking thing.
Alrighty then.
Hell of an avocation.
I HATE this about the internet.
It’s AWFUL ENOUGH.
But now the MASSIVE exaggeration must be corrected...
That’s what they’ll talk about.
Because someone HAD to post it first, or thought "62 MILLION" much more impressive than “THOUSANDS”.
Ridiculous.

If there is any actual, genuine, sincere attempt to rehabilitate George W. Bush on our side of the political spectrum, it's so far down the list of what we need to be guarding against, I can’t even SEE it.
The key to fighting that is to WIN.
Not berating people making jokes about HOW BAD HE WAS.
Well said.
I fear we will not meet the challenge.
That’s freaking gorgeous.
Do you understand the concept of hyperbole?
He wouldn’t go back to Iraq.
He’d want to paint watercolours of his feet in the Lincoln bedroom’s en suite.
IF ONLY.
Whoever writes the ALT Text for these gifs should be keelhauled.
According to the Star Tribune article, one line of defense is the fact that any mining company still would need STATE permits; as long as they can prevent that from happening, this lifted ban can be held at bay.
And then the Democrats can reinstate it when they take both Houses. We hope.
