The Painful Truth of Exactly How ICE’s New Shock Gloves Work



ICE is spending millions on shock gloves designed to overpower subjects through intense, localized pain.




The worst-trained, most unhinged federal agency is getting $20 MILLION in electric-shock gloves…but can’t get its body cameras to work?

This is nothing but an attempt to disguise their inhumane tactics.

Cruelty is cruelty. Plain and simple. - Jasmine Crockett









The World Is A Safer Place Without Republicans

 


Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker on Trump: “He put people in harm’s way to save himself. That’s who Donald Trump is.”








As If The Navy Doesn't Have Enough Problems...
The Navy could end up spending billions to satisfy a new demand from President Donald Trump to rip out the high-tech electromagnetic systems it uses to launch jets from its newest class of aircraft carriers in favor of older, steam-powered catapults...“I’ve launched off the front of aircraft carriers hundreds of times, have a Master’s degree in aeronautical engineering, and am a test pilot and even I wouldn’t suggest to the Navy how to engineer specific systems on its ships. Donald Trump should stick to what he knows best — ballrooms, bankruptcy, and bullsh*t,” Sen. Mark Kelly wrote on X.





Trump says Naval deployments in the Middle East are ‘not nearly long enough’ as he boards a flight to a Long Island LE rally (Nassau cops=MAGA DB’s) then spends weekend luxuriating at his private 500 acre golf course in NJ. No one understands sacrifice like the Trump clan. - Noel Casler

Katie Phang: Well, the FBI handwritten notes implicate Donald Trump. And I don't think it's a secret why they're doing this dance at the DOJ, to not release them









Trump Enjoys Destroying The Kennedy Legacies
The Board for the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts voted Thursday to approve trying again to add President Donald Trump’s name to the building, a move The New York Times arts and culture reporter Julia Jacobs characterized as “aggressively testing a federal judge’s order.”









Imagine putting your name on another man’s memorial. How demented and narcissistic do you have to be? - Alex Cole

The Veluwemeer Aqueduct Water Bridge, Netherlands. I bet they could fix the reflecting pool.

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

Peace.

  1. Glad you are OK. We were worried. No Hat for two days.
    There must be a great story behind your absence. Abducted by aliens? Trapped on Gilligan's Island with the professor and Mary Ann? Lassie couldn't get anyone to follow her to the well? Hiding from Iranians in a catering cart?
    Whatever, happy you're back.

  3. The aqueduct bridge blew my mind. It was a minute before I figured it out. It looked like one of those Escher prints with steps that keep going up all the way around a building. I finally figured out that the road is in a trough that goes under the aqueduct. I'm so smart! 😏
