‘ Seven days in May’
If more than 400 nukes go off then it’s global winter. You will need a nuclear sub to survive that one – if yr lucky. Rapture index moving?
My famous last word’s ‘ no god’s – no master’s’
Fucking cornholed rats.

Maybe he was talking about doing a reverse “I only had two beers, officer.”

Appears that Mr. Wells may not quite be ready for prime time. It must be embarassing to be exposed for babbling in a big case. I hope that he didn’t kick his dog when he got home.

I’m going to call that one a freudian slip *g* but things said or tendered in a court proceeding or offered on the floor of COngress are pretty much exempt from the laws of defamation (libel and slander).

Any reporter worth their salt would play and replay Hayden being asked specifically about the warrant clause of the 4th and saying it doesn’t exist. And with that, explaining that if there is one part of the Constitution he knows – it’s the 4th. *sigh*

I mean, seriously. Foggo is clearly guilty as hell and holding something over Porter’s head- why wasn’t Foggo also fired today?
