" Pam Bondi, "The Epstein files are on my desk."

Bingo. This is just a lane deflection/distraction from the Epstein story.

Did I wander into an alternate universe where Clownshack is the one of the most sensible people on this board, or did everyone else suddenly decide to lower their standards that much?

The military industrial complex invented Russia as a hoax to keep the imaginary Cold War going. The Mercator map Is a lie.

Has anyone here actually seen Russia in person? Maybe it is a hoax.

He's using the Law of Attraction gimmick, to try to force a parallel universe into existence.

"Lot of handwringing over Trumps ICE when in fact this was under Biden's ICE."

It's dumb to call it either Trump's ICE or Biden's ICE. It's like pretending that the Prison or Military Industrial Complexes magically change when one President is inaugurated and another leaves office.

"Malone, who requested to use her middle name to protect her boyfriend's identity, said she was hoping officers would get him treatment and did not want to see him face criminal charges."

Wow. This sounds like a double whammy when it comes to naivete.

We should all assume that all of our data have been breached.

"The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC)"

Ugh. I dislike this acronym, because it's the same as another country.

"But don't deceive yourself by giving it too much meaning."

I agree with Clownshack here. A more likely explanation is that many Republicans have changed their view on whether immigration levels should be decreased because they believe Trump's policies are working, at least as far deterring a significant number of migrants from either coming the US or overstaying their visas. Which is probably true, even though the execution of those policies is OTT and adversely affecting US citizens too.

"Did I miss something?"

Yeah, the headline and the first comment. And the ability to make inferences, apparently.

Another mass casualty event caused by crap "agile" software development, it seems.

There's no mention of skin color anywhere in the original article or embedded tweet. It's a shame this site has gone downhill so far that it promotes racist blog entries to the front page.

So we're just recycling old news now?

Rome has always weaponized the Church, whether it was the Western Rome or Eastern Rome (aka Constantinople). Moscow likes to call itself the Third Rome.
