This creaky old Eighties Guy remembers when TNR couldn’t decide if they were Pro-Contra or against our criminal little terrorist war in Nicaragua.

“Lorde” (spelled thusly) is a 20-ish Australian singer, rather witty, but (as another poster pointed out) rather long in the tooth of Jeffrey. Her music is not particularly merciful to the young men who have let her down.

In most cities, the Federal Building is no longer where you go to transact services. It’s for prosecutors and such. Things ordinary people need to do, like apply for a Social Security card or get tax help, have been moved out of the Federal Buildings, usually into privately-owner office parks. Thee and me are not…

Then you’ll just have to boot Fedora.

“When will there “influencers” stop being a thing?”

All the guards at the IRS and Social Security are rent-a-cops. Welcome to PrivatizedAmerica©.

And this Cyprus was as WASP as a gray paper nest over your back door.

You’re thinking of ‘Bama. Florida cops are on the take, not sadists (mostly).

I believe you meant “Lorde”.

You need bleach and a lot of sunlight to get those nasty Dersh stains out of your underwear.

Oh, yeah the LAPD, NYPD and Chicago PD are just KNOWN for their willingness to ruin dirty cops.

This misrepresents the State Attorney’s position. He just LOVES corruption cases. He would be happy to charge a dirty cop every week if he could embarrass a Sherrif.

No, it really was a jr prosecutor. Our current State’s Attorney loves him some county-level corruption cases.

The original investigation was by a jr prosecutor who got tired of seeing this guy screw with his body cam. After the State’s Attorney had a good laugh, he prodded the Sheriff’s Office with a sharp stick. As I explained elsewhere, he does not play well with others.

There’s a bit more to it. Our local State’s Attorney believes that the SA is somehow “the Chief law enforcement officer in his district.” This does not sit well with the 14 elected Sheriffs in his jurisdiction. Any hint on County-level corruption, and he’s ON IT.

But this exactly how he was exposed - a jr prosecutor thought his body cam footage was hinky, and ran through hours of it until he found the “smoking packet.” Let’s not forget that many young prosecutors regard their tour in office as an apprenticeship to becoming a defense attorney.

The Florida SUN is bad for your skin if you don’t wear a hat. I’m 58, and aside from the fact that I have hair and never wear sunglasses, I look a lot this guy. * I haven’t aged my skin because I cover up.

“Show me on the special doll where you want me to hurt the man ...”

He’s 26. The shaven head is to add ten years of tough-guy gravitas.

The Wakulla Jail is 45 minutes south of where I live. I’ve been thinking about a nice trip down to the Springs soon; anybody got any messages for me to deliver on the way?
