Really? Not a single negative comment?
He can’t erase them from Twitter.

Will he be compensated for the time and money he has spent fighting this?
And what will it personally cost the government thieves?
Here’s the way the JBTs describe it:
Asset forfeiture is a powerful tool used by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, against criminals and criminal organizations to deprive them of their ill-gotten gains through seizure of these assets.
“Criminals.” That sure implies they’ve been tried, found guilty, and sentenced, doesn’t it?
Someone with a better historical understanding help me out here: I found, on the Hawaii Criminal Justice Division’s page of all places, the claim that “The first statute authorizing civil forfeiture was enacted by Congress in 1789 as a sanction for the use of ships in customs violations. (Act of July 31, 1789, Sections 12, 36; 1 Stat. 39, 47.)”
If anybody has time to dig into this right now, does it say anything about them being tried and convicted first? I’m wondering if a Bruen style “text, history,. and tradition at the time of ratification” argument could be made.

The election will be over by then, and if all goes as planned, guess who will be in charge of doing something about this…

Dennis Quaid tells Coachella rally how he sponsored illegal immigrant housekeeper who supports Trump [More]
Yes, Dennis. Time to pick a side.
In fairness, many of us have behaved in the past in ways we would not with age, and hopefully wisdom, and most of us have not had the temptations that come with Hollywood stardom.
Look for the same Hollywood that decries “McCarthysism” to blacklist him now.

Mob of up to 30 looters, some armed, ransack freight train in Chicago [More]

If they’re so oppressed, how come their cars look newer and nicer than mine?
In Phoenix, Arizona, cops were called by a Circle K gas station in reference to a white man they wanted trespassed from their store. When they arrived, the white man pointed across the street to a black man, claiming that the man was the actual culprit. Just taking his word for it, Phoenix officers Ben Harris and Kyle Sue violently attacked the black man. His name is Tyron McAlpin. He’s completely deaf and has cerebral palsy. [More]
Well, if he didn’t want to be arrested he shouldn’t have broken the cops hand with his mouth.
