        Yeah, without some kind of established source, we aren’t going to allow a random GoFundMe.

        In fact, I’m not sure we allow GoFundMes in general…

    Politically I’m neither for nor against throwing a sub sandwich at federal agents.

    But…that poor sub. Was it at least a really bad sub? I know you could argue that of course it’s a bad sub, it’s from Subway…but still. Did he buy that sub with intent, or was he just so angry that he threw his dinner?

    “He thought it was funny,” Ms. Pirro said of the defendant in a video posted online. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged with him with a felony.”

    To be fair to him, it was very funny

      Good luck with her brag about false charges. its not a felony level of endangerment. At the very worst an “officer” would have gotten mayo on his shirt, like he does at lunch every day anyway. Total clown show.

              They got insanely lucky then, as most people with a felony can’t get a job, anywhere, and the places that do hire people with felonies generally don’t pay much higher than minimum wage.
