MERKLEY: So when the VP said 'ICE agents have absolute immunity' in violating people's civil rights, he was effectively correct?
BIER: Effectively, yes. Right now as the law stands.
It now appears clear that Jeffrey Epstein did NOT off himself, based on staff talk overheard by inmates, independent bank reports that large deposits of money were made to the guard in charge at the time, and 2 suspiciously nonfunctioning cameras.

As long as you don’t need gas, groceries, affordable healthcare, retirement savings or constitutional rights, things aren’t so bad.
As unpaid TSA officers brace to miss their first full paycheck, absenteeism is leading to longer wait times at airport security checkpoints.
If you had any doubts that the US is setting up for a ground invasion of Iran, the map unveiled by Dan Caine today is a textbook outline that clearly shows exactly where they're paving a path to a forward operating base within Iranian territory. Get ready for Iraq 2.0.

THE PUTIN PEDOPHILE SAYS THE EPSTEIN WAR IS "VERY COMPLETE" ... after putin tells him he's done what was needed and THANKED HIM VERY MUCH
Just like Bush boasted of “mission accomplished” on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln 6 weeks after he started the Iraq War ... it lasted another 8 years
A girls' school was bombed. 175 people died, mostly children. A political leader went on TV and said they're better off dead than living under Iran's government. Who gave him the authority to decide that?
Among those allegations was that #Epstein took photos of her posing nude and tried to extort her mother to keep the images secret. Her mother couldn't afford what was demanded by Epstein, the allegations said, and she stole $22,000 from her real estate firm

Despite massive bombardment and the assassination of Iran’s leader, the US has failed to overthrow the Iranian government. Instead, the conflict is expanding and becoming more dangerous. The war is devastating civilians and the stock market.
It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12.
While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not.
Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war.
I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.
Congrats to Scott McFarlane for having sense enough to get out of Bari Weiss's new CBS propaganda channel.
He's too good for what that place is becoming.
How stupid he said.
“The American military is tremendous. It is the greatest in the world.”
I applaud the members of our military and we have very expensive technology.
But organizations are only as good as their leaders, and we have some dumb people running our military. It shows.
Repost if you agree #BlueCrew
Shocking revelations from Senator Josh Hawley’s official hearing: $115 MILLION an hour is being siphoned from taxpayers and funneled into luxury items, cars, yachts, and even funding terrorism and child trafficking.
It's time to question the system and demand change.

Iran kills 7 American soldiers after being attacked by the United States without justification and is a "barbaric and terrorist" regime.
The United States kills 150 Iranian school girls for no reason and is on the side of goodness and right.
Yeah, right, Lindsey, you lying drunk.
New in PN: The bombing of Iranian children is an unforgivable crime
"American disinterest in the lives of people abroad is a resource politicians use to justify cynical wars. It's hard to see on what moral grounds we claim a right to decide the fate of those about whom we clearly care so little."

We know about the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But there was a very similar killing of a young man named Ruben Martinez in which immigration agents claimed he attacked them with his car before they shot him. New video suggests that too may be a lie. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
Happy Birthday, Micky Dolenz.
I did this illustration for a Disney Publications magazine in the late 90's.
I am watching a man on tv try to sell me the idea that Donald Trump is tactical and “has a light touch”
Bro, he blew up 170 children and killed a major religious figure literally this week
Everything is Orwell
Chump Calls It "Collateral Damage"........
