Not just a judge. An elected judge.

Dugan won her seat on the Milwaukee County bench in 2016, defeating a judge who had been appointed in the heavily Democratic county by then-Gov. Scott Walker (R).

Not just a judge. An elected judge.

Any time you hear Republicans argue 18 year olds shouldn't be able to vote, and they want to increase the age to 21/25, tell them "OK - then anybody over 65 isn't allowed to vote either."

The women said “They twisted it to make it seem as if we admitted that we wanted to work illegally in the US.”

Considering he eats nothing but McDonalds, I'm guessing he's a world champion shitter.

Plus there was that whole "soiling himself in court" incident.

Not sure what he thought would happen when an electric car manufacturer aligned with the "we love fossil fuels" party.

Saw a great take earlier on another website.

The guy who said he was going to "cure us of the woke mind virus" is now saying he's getting out of politics because "people were being mean to him."

The irony.

But at least we have gas at $1.98 a gallon!

Oh wait.

Both say they were handcuffed and sent to a detention center, which they claimed was more like a prison.

“We were searched with metal detectors, our entire bodies were scanned, and we had to stand naked in front of the police officers and were looked through,” Pohl said. “Then we were given green prison clothes and put in a prison cell with serious criminals.”

Among them was someone who had spent 18 years behind bars for murder, the women said, and they were left sleeping in a double cell with tiny barred windows and metal bunks with moldy mattresses.

I really want to know what changed that made the above happen much more often.

In December, if Customs had concerns about two teenagers trying to sneak into the US to work on a travel visa, where did they go? How was it handled? Because it feels like overkill and probably much more expensive than what we used to do.

Why are we sending backpacking teenagers with visa concerns to the same place as a murderer?

Why are they being strip searched like they were drug smugglers?

But the women — who were planning to continue on to Los Angeles and then Costa Rica after Hawaii — insisted they were interrogated by CBP for hours, and that transcripts show their words were “twisted” and outright falsified.

“They contained sentences we didn’t actually say,” Pohl said of interrogation transcripts they were sent home with.

“They twisted it to make it seem as if we admitted that we wanted to work illegally in the US,” she told the German outlet Ostee Zeitung.

And then this feels like the after-the-fact coverup. Whatever they held them on was super flimsy, so they tried to make it sound worse when they realized this was going to hit the news.

You know what's sad - I didn't realize this was an Onion post. Because it made sense these evil people would say something like that.

In the past two days alone, I've gotten over 20 spam calls with none of them leaving a message. Just 3/4 seconds of silence on my voice mail. One call the other day left a 22 second blank message.
