When do you think people will learn that "Our candidate is the second worst choice!" is not a good campaign strategy?

Well, I thought I should say something in case it was just a bad link or something.

During the court-sanctioned intrusion, the DOJ "enabled temporary collection of non-content routing information" that would "expose GRU attempts to thwart the operation." This did not "impact the routers' normal functionality or collect legitimate user content information," the DOJ claims.

I bet.

I can't explain it either. I'm sure someone will figure out what is going on.

Snopes said the Houston Post reported:

Sgt. W.A. Scotton said saxophonist Jacquet had the dice in his hand as the troop of officers walked in. The troop confiscated the dice and $185 in cash. Then they agreed to wait until the first show was over before taking the performers to the police station.

Looks like the pic posted here has been mirrored.

it looked like it had just driven through a mud puddle, except evenly over the entire vehicle

I wouldn't expect a vehicle to rust uniformly.

I would like to see some pictures. It's hard to judge what the magnitude of the problem is without seeing.

Pretext arrests are really about plausible deniability. Even today on fact-checking websites like Snopes, the arrest is not fully labeled an incident of racist harassment. They were actually gambling, goes the logic.

Snopes if anyone cares:
