20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant. They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear. They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings. The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore. kfor.com/news/local/w...

The dumbfuckery hasn’t even started yet. Expect more retaliatory tantrums today in the form of tariffs for being teased about “Dozing Don” at the Pope’s funeral. If it’s one thing a small-minded dictator can’t stand, it’s a bruised ego.

If you kidnap and disappear a 4-year-old with stage 4 cancer, you should at a minimum spend the rest of your life behind bars. If you do it as part of an ethnic cleansing program, you should do your hard time at the Hague.
