It’s mostly bullshit, but reading the article she is attempting to collect from the guy’s umbrella policy which is attached to the car, but I don’t think the damages paid out from an umbrella policy have to have initiated with the car. So, she’s claiming she got an STD because the dude didn’t tell her he was infected and is trying to collect on that. Other collusion type shit going on, but I think I can see why a lawyer would take the case and why a judge didn’t immediately dismiss it. ---

Read this article: [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/florida-man-arrested-after-police-say-toddler-found-a-loaded-handgun-fatally-shot-21-year-old-mom/ar-AAPu2iK](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/florida-man-arrested-after-police-say-toddler-found-a-loaded-handgun-fatally-shot-21-year-old-mom/ar-AAPu2iK) I admit I watch too much TV, especially cop shows. I read this and my first thought was that the boyfriend committed murder and faked the ZOOM video and blamed the kid. ---

I mean, that’s almost a redundant headline. If the headline read “Man Arrested After Police (blah blah blah)”, 8-1 it’s a Florida Man story. ---

Lindsay Graham claimed that [40,000 Brazilians “wearing designer clothes and Gucci bags” crossed the border at Yuma County, Arizona, on their way to Connecticut](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/graham-immigration-brazil/2021/10/13/2abe389e-2c49-11ec-985d-3150f7e106b2_story.html) (Washington Post paywalled article). I think the idea is hilarious. It seems unlikely that anyone with means would hike from Brazil to Connecticut when there are direct flights to JFK (for under $500). ---
