Blah, blah, blah, Kristi...
I didn't hear a "No."
And the fact that this question was asked with her husband sitting right behind her is DIABOLICAL.
A master class in pettiness.
Perhaps you underestimated just how far this administration would go in their desperate attempt to distract you from the Epstein files, and the fact that President Donald Trump

"However, Ellison did make it clear Paramount leadership wants to give HBO, currently run by Casey Bloys, the special treatment to continue developing and programming content without heavy oversight from Paramount’s execs..."
Bullshit.
RIP HBO.
Exactly. Citizenship means that these humans might start to advocate for the things they actually need, like better wages, healthcare, basic human rights and so on.
The real goal behind hiring undocumented immigrants... they never make a fuss.
I'm pretty sure there exists a necktie with Donald Trump's crusty DNA all over it... and it belongs to Lindsey Graham.
Translation:
We totally voted for this nightmare, because we simply didn't care what might happen to those "other people."
But now we're starting to feel a little pain, so if you could take care of us... that would be great.

A black and white photograph of Rodger's News Stand on the Southside of Chicago. Pictured is Tommie Rodgers Jr., 82 years old, sitting alongside his friend. As of this photograph, Tommy had been running the newsstand for about 42 years. His father, Tommie Rodgers Sr., bought it in 1945 after returning from World War II. I believe the newsstand closed a few years after I made this photograph, but I couldn't find any conclusive details. Photographed by Preston Lewis Thomas.

Pam Bondi is broken and desperate. She will spend the rest of her life trapped in a cesspool of her own making.
Bondi is also a pathological liar, an enabler, and an accomplice to murder. I pray that the nightmares drive her to insanity and that she never again knows a moment of peace.

A black and white photograph of five Black Ballerinas standing en pointe in a doorway. The dancers are beautiful and do not succumb to the traditional European aesthetic of the genre. Their outfits also stand in stark contrast to the grittiness of the broken concrete and dilapidated doorways in front of which they stand. Photographed by Preston Lewis Thomas.

That "held accountable" part is doin' a lot of work, Governor.
Noem, Miller & Bovino have committed nothing less than crimes against humanity.
Any so-called accountability that doesn't include significant prison time is an affront to all of those who have suffered kidnappings, beatings and murder.
Stop saying "This isn't what I voted for..." you lying fucks. Because this is EXACTLY what you voted for.
You just didn't think it would happen to you.
