ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing heβs a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.
Just caught myself texting this Monday morning mini-rant:
Goddammit I wonder how many cases of Alzheimerβs have been misdiagnosed when old farts like me meant to text things like βruby red grapefruitβ and autocorrect changed it to βriveted grapefruit.β
I think AI has Alzheimerβs.

Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place. Do not open your door for these fucking losers.

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.
Autumn already! - But why regret an eternal sun, if we are committed to the discovery of divine clarity, - far from people who die over the seasons.

Yes, release the Epstein files!!!
