Moriarty said the charging decision in this case was more straightforward because the Minnesota State Patrol was able to conduct a complete investigation of the incident and submit a case file.

“This is the only case that we actually know what the federal officers say,” Moriarty said. “We have their statement. We have video. The difference is that it came to us just like any other case would have.”

That includes having access to the agent’s name, witness statements from the motorists and cellphone footage and surveillance camera footage that showed several elements of what took place.

You can be sure that this is the last time we have all that information. ICE/Homeland are being even more careful now to make sure local and state agencies are blocked out of everything to keep them from being able to make cases. In fact, I bet ICE/Homeland refuse to provide a location on this guy. He’ll probably live out the rest of his life as an underground here in red states that will refuse to arrest or extradite him.

The Pentagon already threatened it mafia-style.

“In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV’s then-ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture,” said Hale.

“America has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world,” Colby and his associates informed the cardinal. “The Catholic Church had better take its side.”

As the room temperature grew, Hale said he confirmed that one U.S. official “reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will.”

During the period in question, there were two Popes. One in the Vatican, and one in Avignon. I’m fairly certain that if the Vatican doesn’t bend to Trump’s will, there will soon be a Church of America with it’s own Pope.

Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis? Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated Holocaust camps and liberated those, those innocent people, you know, those who had survived the Holocaust?

What a silly question. It’s silly because it’s based on the idea that God is a being who would pick sides in the first place. It is generally commonly thought by believers that we are all God’s children. When your children get in a fight do you pick sides and cheer for one of them to kick the other’s ass? I would hope not. I would hope that, as a parent, you would step in and try and stop the fight.

Assuming there is a God, I would hope he/she/it would just be terribly disappointed in all the children involved for not finding a way to settle their differences peacefully.

No, this is just the usual global uber wealthy interfering in international politics so that they can increase their wealth and gain absolute power over the peons.

Don’t let perfect get in the way of good. It this had been in effect, we would never have had Gee Dubya and Trump as presidents.

I think we’re hovering around The Running Man, with a game show host running things and using blood sports to keep the masses distracted; but we are certainly working hard to get to Soylent Green. Once we finish destroying the environment, agriculture fails, and we have to turn cannibal to survive.

“Secretary Hegseth, along with millions of Americans, is a proud Christian,” Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson previously told The Independent.

Isn’t pride a sin? Isn’t it, in fact, one of the big seven?

Oh, good point. I didn’t think to mention that. Thanks!

Yep, leave the cat carrier out where they they can get to it any time they want, maybe under a coffee table or something, just leave the door open. Toss some treats and/or toys in once in a while and eventually they will treat it just like any other box. If they are already stressed about the carrier, leave it out and then them feed them near it. Again, make sure the door is always open. Every day put the dish a little closer to the open door. Eventually put the food dish just inside the door so they can eat without actually going in. Then put it further in every day until they are going in the crate to eat. That has eventually worked with every cat I’ve tried it on.

Our current cats all love the carriers. I took some of my cats to the vet this week. When I got back home, I opened the door to let them out and one of them ran out of the carrier he was in and right into one of the others that had just been vacated by another cat.

So close, except that it’s Trump who has created his own private police force comprised of unemployed men and is trying to stay president for life.

Every conservative accusation really is a confession.

I miss Costco. We moved to a rural part of the US a few years ago and the nearest Costco is now 2.5 hours away. Really hard to justify a 5 hour round trip to shop there. Luckily they do sell a lot of their stuff online but it’s not the same without the browsing and the slice of pizza at the end.

OP’s headline does not match the article linked in any way. I don’t know if the site changed the article or what, but the Grand Jury has not ordered Reddit to turn over any data.

a subpoena issued by federal prosecutors to the management of Reddit, representatives of the site have been ordered to appear before a grand jury in Washington D.C., with an April 14 deadline set in an attempt to compel Reddit to volunteer personal data and the identity of a user who had the temerity to lightly criticize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on the platform.

Essentially, they have ordered Reddit to send representatives to be badgered into volunteering the user’s information.

Based on the number of people still using the cesspit that Twitter turned into, Reddit has to sink a hell of a lot lower to get people to stop using it.

Free Aunt Tifa!

Take him home. His current owners are idiots since they let him run across the street to visit you. If you don’t, you may very well have the misfortune of finding him dead in the road one day.

Who suggested that he was interested in the freedom of the Iranian people? Last thing he said about them was, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” He’s never pretended to give a fuck about anyone other than himself and maybe his family, the ones he want’s to fuck anyway.

The 25th would never even get to Congress. Everyone in a position to invoke it is a Trump toady who wants him right where he is.

25th Amendment, Section 4

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

The dicey record appears to stem from several issues in court, including a jury pool that has lost trust in the Trump administration, the FBI and the Justice Department

I think that the main issue is that the jury pool has finally woken up and realized that the DoJ and police consistently lie to the public and the courts and their testimony cannot be trusted.

It’s Hisense and they will likely be forcing ads on you at every opportunity.

Hardware and software laden with ads have, unfortunately, become part and parcel of modern life, but there are occasions when the hunt for revenue goes too far. One of those cases comes from Hisense, known across Western markets as a budget electronics brand. The firm’s TV sets have repeatedly come under fire for forcing non-skippable ads when switching inputs, turning the TV on, navigating to the home screen, and even when switching channels — all changes that took effect unilaterally after purchase, reportedly even for users who had all ad-related options disabled.

Pictures like this make me sad. Never allow your pets go into dryers or similar machines. Too many pets die because they hopped in a washer or dryer when their owner wasn’t paying attention and then turned it on.
