Kim Kardashian used 232,000 more gallons of water than she's permitted to, in the middle of a historic drought. Sylvester Stallone went 230,000 gallons over his allowance.
The average Angeleno uses just 72 gallons of water per day

The Sandman creator Neil Gaiman ruthlessly hits back at troll’s ‘woke’ moaning
Pink News
Quote:The hit Netflix series is based on comic books first released by Gaiman in 1989 and is a faithful adaptation – including its LGBTQ+ representation.
Since dropping the first season, the LGBTQ+ inclusive nature of the show has been a major topic of discussion and has inevitably drawn homophobes out of their cave.
After tweeting about the unfortunate possibility that The Sandman isn’t guaranteed a second season, someone replied: “Man this show is the most ‘woked’ show ever watched in my life.
“I mean come on you’re blatantly just ramming that bulls**t down our throats where it’s a bit disgusting!”
To which Gaiman ruthlessly replied, pointing out that what’s on Netflix now was in his graphic novel three decades ago.

Quote:Four current and former Louisville police officers involved in the deadly raid on Breonna Taylor’s home – including detectives who worked on the search warrant and the ex-officer accused of firing blindly into her home – have been charged with civil rights violations and other counts, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Thursday.

The hits.
-false cover story in an attempt to escape responsibility for their roles in preparing the warrant affidavit that contained false information
-willfully used unconstitutionally excessive force … when he fired his service weapon into Taylor’s apartment through a covered window and covered glass door.
-the affidavit contained false and misleading statements, omitted material facts, relied on stale information, and was not supported by probable cause
-knew that the execution of the search warrant would be carried out by armed LMPD officers, and could create a dangerous situation both for those officers and for anyone who happened to be in Taylor’s home
-falsify the search warrant for Taylor’s home and to cover up their actions afterward

So once again the police are caught lying and covering up their actions and people wonder why critics are skeptical when the cops say they did nothing wrong.

So it seems that those tree-hugging libtards were trying to save jobs when they wanted to stop pollution and not destroy them because this is what ultimately happens

Some of the biggest names at Fox News — such as Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Pirro — have been questioned by lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems or are scheduled to be soon as part of its $1.6 billion defamation suit against the network.

I wonder if they will plead the same shit about, "Who would actually believe what they say" ala Carlson's trial?
