I'm gonna start with Carmichael, who is just
so great and entertaining.

Then I'll watch the Harriet Vane ones. They
are also very good.

7. I live in the Portland area. DHS shot a man and a woman in a medical center parking lot.

They fled in their truck and called 911 from a nearby apartment complex and were then taken to a hospital. Last night's news said the woman was shot in the chest and the man was shot in an arm. The DHS shooter said it was self-defense. Once again, the Government is keeping everything quiet, so the Governor, Mayor, police chief, etc. could not tell the public much of anything in last night's press conference. Sort of like what DHS is doing in Minneapolis. Our leaders said they do not believe or trust anything coming from DHS or the White House. The couple is in their 30's, and supposedly from Venezuela. Naturally, DHS said they belong to a violent gang.

"The fact that not one single spine-having, duty-bound adult in American government exists to slam the brakes on this sh**show carnival is proof enough that this country deserves every ounce of contempt, ridicule, and global hatred it’s about to choke on for the next hundred years."

pardoned his FELLOW felons and Insurrectionists, gave a racist, hate preaching demagogue the fkn Medal of Freedom.

But they're okay with the cold blooded murder of this woman.

Bad guys? Scum is more like it.
