Yep, cops can be sued for that.

Yes, Martha, shooting somebody does count as seizure, even if they temporarily elude custody afterward. The Supremes, that ignominious body of black-robed politicians who rule over all, for life, with utter disdain and impunity, said so today. Torres v.

Retraction: I’m glad we’ve got that cleared up.

Allow me to print a retraction. Thank God for the likes of Fox News' Tucker Carlson, Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, and other Real News Journalists and Political Experts.

Today the United States Senate will complete the Scopes Monkey Trial of Ex-President Donald Trump. The day is historic in its farcical cynicism as well as its true consequences: a theatre of the absurd, wherein the first United States President to be impeached for sedition has already been guaranteed his acquittal. Trump is the first …
