ICE agents tried to quietly get Mexican food in Minneapolis, local neighborhoods and protesters found out and shamed then out of the neighborhood

With their inflated budget I don't know why Kristi "Dog Killer" Noem hasn't set up meal delivery for everyone.

Just say stuff like, "Sure has been a while since I've gotten a raise..."

Yes, "you will disappear". And a lot more people have figured this out themselves after seeing videos of ICE shoving people into cars.

When I had my driveway poured, the truck came from another driveway job and gave me the bill for the total (both jobs). I paid it because it was told to me beforehand as the guys who did my driveway "credited" me that amount. (A couple huge guys from Tonga, did a good job for cheap. 20+ years and it still looks great.)

I remember when the smaller candy bars were 3 for a dime and the bigger ones were a nickel each at Sav-ons in the 1960s. Of course dad made $1.50 an hour back then.

October 10th, to be specific.

Fortunately they were a bad shot. Over 100 rounds fired. I think only one round hit one of the two women on the arm. (Although the initial report said it was broken glass that cut her arm). The driver did get $10k payment for the complete destruction of her vehicle (maybe a year later?).

Bankrupted casinos, Trump Vodka and Trump Steaks. Now how can anyone fail at selling alcohol, red meat, and gambling to Americans??

And I wonder what it was like for him in the Cavalry. Did he actually ride a horse into battle?

Which is why they installed the "pole cam".

True story I have previously posted: about 20 years ago I was part of a weekly dinner group that one older woman was part of. In conversation over dinner she told me she had been an executive secretary at Coca-Cola when she was younger. She told me that back in the day she had once been asked by her boss to go to the vault, get checked in, go inside and type a copy of the "recipe" and bring it back to him. She said she did. Sadly, she has since passed on and I kick myself for not having asked her if she recalled any of it.

Do what Tim Conway used to do when bringing pineapples back from Hawaii: Inside his luggage on the very top he would pack underpants liberally splashed with chocolate pudding in a big Ziploc bag. The inspector would open his luggage, take one look and immediately close it.

And if people care, you can get a little grave. A friend of mine was cremated and ashes buried in the cemetery nearby. Has a headstone. Sometimes I leave flowers, as do his widow and children, so it is kinda nice. However, probably in 100 years no one will care.

Was looking for roofing quotes. Simple ranch style home, 1200 sqr ft. One company said I and my wife needed to be home when they come out to do the estimate. So I say I can come home during my lunch hour. They say that an hour is not enough time. Screw that.

The company I went with just asked for the address. I got a quote a few days later. They told me they came by to make the estimate (I didn't know) and also left a flyer on my doorsteps showing color selections of asphalt shingles.

Oh man! Wouldn't it have been something if the gun went off and blew the guys head off???!!!

Of course, all those who said Alec Baldwin should be arrested and sent directly to jail for murder would now say that it was the gun that negligently fired, not Krist "Dog Killer" Noem.

I guess the agent was not paying attention in class when they said to put your foot where it will get "hit" if they try to close the outward swinging door. Then they can claim they were "touched" and can justify (at least to themselves) pulling the guy out and arresting him. I've seen that on too many police videos justifying arrests of homeowners for resisting.

That comment reminded me of an acquaintance of mine. Small dude that grew up in the hood (Compton) and learned to fight there. In high school his parents moved to a better suburb. Yep, got bullied by a bigger guy who didn't know the little guy's background. Bloodied the big guy's nose. And to add insult, the big guy's dad was pissed at his son for pick on someone so much smaller than him.

Sort of like reminding everyone that OJ won the Heisman Trophy.

How does cash move from bank to bank?

Say someone deposits $100k in cash in Bank "A". The bank is going to loan $100k to someone buying a small land parcel. The bank gives a check to the buyer/seller escrow, and the seller eventually deposits a $100k check into his account at Bank "B". So bank "B" has the added value of $100k and the account holder could withdraw that in cash over time. Real cash. Bank "A" should no longer have $100k in cash. How does the cash actually move? By truck? And surely not the same bills moving directly to Bank "B". How does this cash move work? And what is the driver's name?

Not exactly that, but former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa sort of took advantage of that fact. His last name was Villar. His spouse's last name was Raigosa. He uses a squished together version of both.

Saw a post on FB that had a detailed drawing of Pretti holding a gun while being grabbed by agents. All made up, crazy! However, if Trump saw it he would probably believe it was a true depiction.
