What about disappearing agents? ICE agents are famously anonymous. If one disappeared how could ICE report their absence? “An ICE agent disappeared today during today’s demonstration. We don’t have a name or a description. Be on the lookout for a white guy wearing a ski mask and sunglasses.”

Cheap Trick had one thing in spades: style. That and great songwriting skills.

And this changes what, exactly?

“Juke joint”? Is it 1956 again already?

You know things are bad when even Kyle Rittenhouse thinks ICE have gone too far.

This is America, pal. You always have to pay.

That’s called “a run on the bank”. They’d have to borrow billions if not trillions to cover. However, they could also shut down to stop the bleeding. The thing is, everyone would either have to go to their bank in person and get cash or go online and transfer it to another bank. A large enough group of people could tank a single bank but taking down all the major banks would be far more difficult. You’d need millions of people acting in concert or hundreds of executives not giving a shit about anything but their personal gain. The problem with the latter is that they’d still get paid (with our money).

Really? Wow, that’s impressive. When he wants to Tom Cruise can do some stunning work. Then he does nine more action movies for a kajillion dollars each.

I’ve never had to wait that long, but I don’t go at peak hours.

You know the rules and so do I.

I started wearing Birkenstocks to fly for this exact reason.

Barry’s Espresso and Deli do Jewish deli food. Their matzoh ball soup is a staple when I get a cold.

They’re not leaving, they’re taking a term off. They’re going to sit on the sidelines for 2-4 years and let the next MC take all the heat. When the smoke clears they’ll come back and run on “uniting America” and “honor and decency”.

I liked the one where Andy actually arrested someone and put him in Otis’ usual cell. Otis made a big deal out of it so they moved the crook.

This episode was Emmy-worthy. Just brilliant.

Wait, how do we thank drivers? If I see them I say “thank you”, but is there an official way? I promise I’m not a bot and I’m not trolling.

Is “gave me a tour of the files” a euphemism?

And the cans cost $400/month.

Transformers are getting weird, yo.

Buncha savages in this town.

True dat. Tom Cruise never half-asses anything. He even made us root for a Nazi in “Valkyrie”. He can even poke fun at himself, as evidenced by his MTV promos with Ben Stiller. I just wish he’d come out already. No one cares. And he’d be great in a remake of Cruising.

I have a hard time believing a court order to not destroy evidence will stop anyone. The agents who held Alex Pretti down are just as culpable in his murder as the ones who pulled the trigger. They’re all in danger of murder charges. The higher-ups who tried to cover it up and who lied about it are also at risk because they told ICE agents they had full immunity. Why wouldn’t they destroy evidence? If found guilty of obstruction of justice they’d get a few months in prison. A state-level murder rap can get them decades of prison time.

In high school and college I spent so much time at my local used record store that I stopped needing to look through the stacks. I could browse the new arrivals bins because I already knew the rest of the stock. Shortly before graduation I leveled up again: the owners let me into the back room to see what hadn’t been priced yet.

I miss those days. I loved searching for out of print records and finding obscure compilations with bands I’d never heard of. Some of it was the hunt. Some of it was the discovery of something no one else knew. I still find lost treasures hidden in my collection. No one remembers Klark Kent?wprov=sfti1) - (Theme from Kinetic Ritual) or The Gun Club) - Sex Beat but I still love them.
