Poll: Confidence in the Supreme Court drops to a record low The latest NBC News poll shows that the percentage of voters with a "great deal" or "quite a bit" of confidence in the court is at the lowest ebb since the question was first asked in 2000.

Bondi Is Said to Move to Military Housing Because of Threats

Jail might be a more appropriate domicile. I can think of some large facilities in TX and elsewhere that might have space - just ask DHS for a reservation.

F1 delivers the camera work and various networks tap in. The ESPN/Sky Sports guys, Crofty, Martin B, et al are great. But the Apple feed had their own group of on-air people. Hopefully Qualifying tonite will be better.

#F1 - F1 on Apple TV -

While the Orange Blob plays international warmonger, gas prices increased 11 percent last week, 90,000 people lost their jobs last month, and he continues to shred the Constitution thru DHS and DOJ actions. America in disarray for certain.

Yes, ICE and ISIS sound the same, but they are different. They are state-sponsored terrorists sponsored by different states.

Someone stood up to their nefarious intentions and they are miffed.

Maybe they should work on finding a way to put some controls on how/when they target drones in the US before they shoot down a passenger plane?
