I really hope we can find all these thugs and arrest them for excessive force if & when the Democrats retake the government.

If they have ANY sense, they won't let that happen.

I've quit drinking quite a few times.

As the son of an Irish Mom I find the idea of quitting drinking culturally inappropriate....

In all seriousness though I have found as I have gotten older I just seem to be drinking less and less. Not out of some personal stance, but it just isn't coming up as much as it used to in my personal life. I had a doctor's appointment the other day and when asked about my drinking I had to think about the last time I had a drink and it was probably 2024.

I think the paperwork is going to be, at best, messy for a lot of these takedowns. I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the day there is little traceable paperwork to specific individuals.

However the good thing is these guys want to get paid and that paperwork can't be hidden or obfuscated. So if the time comes it will be easy to track down who got into ICE in the Trump days and work backwards from there to get locations and possible operational activities. Then it is all about applying pressure to get confessions about what they did, and seemingly most of the new recruits will be dumb enough to cough up evidence all on their own like a lot of criminals.

Honestly, same here. I was a massive day drinker during the lockdown (and I wrote two novels, but second drafts were completely sober!), and that kinda... I dunno.... didn't burn me out on it, but I realized I needed to cut that out. And yeah, that last couple years I've slowed down a lot on drinking, BUT.... when the occasion arises, I still tend to go at it like the oul days. I think the last time was a couple weekends ago at my dad's house, I had several pints with him. And that was maybe a month or month and a half after having too many at my brother-in-law's. And before that, I wanna say it had been months and months. I actually didn't have a drop after New Years until we went to Ireland last April, so four months, and I actually didn't drink nearly as much there as I wanted to. So when I go for it, I still go for it, but it's just not that often.

Dayum! That's pretty good! I bet your a cheap date now too!
