Sometimes you just need to shut off the news and decompress by watching a comedy about a labor lawyer who solves challenging cases thanks to his ability to communicate with the ghosts of defrauded clients.

Bait and switch is the tactic of a warmongering coward. If he was serious about protecting the US, he would have used his two-week self-imposed limit to work on negotiations. But he's never legitimately negotiated a thing in his life. Bullied, yes, but not negotiated. So we get the bully's solution.

I figured there'd be some Stephen Miller callouts at No Kings Santa Monica and I was not disappointed. Guy next to me said his kid disliked Miller in high school. One sign said Santa Monica High rescinds Miller's affiliation. The sign shown here was the only one I managed to remember to photograph.
