MST3K did a decent job of handling that one.

Friend of a friend bought a grave plot for himself. Not unusual. Then he danced on his own grave, which I thought was kinda cool.

With bagpipes? That would share the cool.

Is he a _Northern Exposure_ fan?

Am I really the first to suggest Trump is dyeing?

That thing on his head can’t be natural color at his age and levels of vanity

Don’t know if he’s a Northern Exposure fan. I never actually met the guy.

Well, ICE detained one of Northern Exposure’s supporting actors recently, so he can’t be MUCH of a fan.

That’s why you should never ask the genie/Satan to give your enemy “a slow lingering death”. Because he’ll linger slowly.

One of the advantages of believing in an afterlife is that you don’t need your enemies to suffer _before_ they die.

If you look suspicious (by their standards), _any_ identification is fake. Especially when they’re behind on their daily quota.

ICE are not the most competent or generally intelligent folks.

Nor are their leaders.

They are picking people they don’t like the looks of. Elaine Miles (aka Marilyn Whirlwind) does not look like an eastern European.

She should sue for unlawful detention. Or SOMETHING.

As the OP, I’m proud to see it go past 1000 posts, it’s the best thread I have ever created here.

Having said that, I would have been much happier if this thread only went for three days before being closed in exchange for a celebratory thread along the lines of DING DONG THE BITCH IS DEAD.

Latest rumoured estimates courtesy of the Leqembi speculation (new Alzheimer’s drug that has a side effect of brain bleeds; given by IV and requiring MRIs as follow up) give him 3-5 more months. I’d vastly prefer 3-5 days but the Grim Reaper isn’t in a hurry on this one. Still got to make some room in Hell now that Dick Cheney is down there.

She likey cannot. Detainment like this is perfectly legal now thanks to Kavanaugh.
