Where's Wayne Brady when ya need him?!?!

Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:

Your summer school break project is sorted. Mom is going to be a specialty publisher. Best learn book binding.

In 1990 that house appraised for $145,000.

That house now appraises at $390,000.

For a house built in 1936.

So no. You couldn't live on one income in 1990.

Or 2000.

Or 2010.

If income kept pace the average annual salary would be $105,000.

Minimum wage would be $35 an hour.

Maybe Mr. Finance Smoke & Mirrors means the late 1970s because I can assure you the 1980s quickly stomped that mythical period of time into the dirt.

Which would be, what? Three generations ago? Maybe Four?

Example.

A close friend bought the house they're living in today in 1974.

For $18,000.

I can't think of a single other issue where the target of such extraordinary government overreach represents such a tiny fraction of the population.

That, in and of itself, should be ringing every fucking alarm bell for literally every other vulnerable group because success breeds more overreach.

6 legal residents, including a Skokie woman, were detained at O’Hare and held at ICE facilities, officials said. blockclubchi.co/4lfXjZk

I also just learned that Florsheim is still in business. Huh.

Ah, yes.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I'm with you. It's time for the next generation to take over the popular culture and let all these "franchises" become history.

My money is on Ryan Coogler in the Spielberg role. He's really getting his feet under him. I'd also say Shawn Levy is a strong contender.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

Molli Jo sends her love.

Even my therapist is like, sure, it's acceptable to feel pulsating white hot rage multiple times a day. Go with it.

When you hear someone use the word averse for the first time two hours earlier and go with your gut instinct for how best to use it live on TV.

Hold on.

HOLD.

ON.

Did he just dead name the Department Of WAR?!?!?!

She's eight new CBS procedurals.

Make it a crossover and bring back Brockmire.

I like to think her staff hates her so much they're just letting her talk unaware she's been fired.

Though in fairness this is kinda like being in the last row of seats on the Hindenburg cheering that the passenger you hate in the front row was just incinerated.

Is one of the side effects a change in the vocal cords? There's no way he's sounded like a man gargling lava rocks all his life.

Of course, it loses a bit of pizzazz in the post smart phone world since it makes their followers uncomfortable when they start shouting in their face or undressing to slip into a bright pink radiation suit.

Think of all the post nuclear war business opportunities for the surviving TikTok influencers.
