     Coming soon to Netflix:

     JUNETEENTH: A Harrowing Story of Perseverance and Redemption - relive the story of a group of dedicated neurodivergent, genderqueer, trans, vegan activists braving the perilous terrain of racist, transphobic, meat-centric 1860s America as they speed notice of emancipation to Texas. Starring Jay-Z as Abraham Lincoln, Mo'Nique as Mary Todd Lincoln, the Harlem Boy's Choir as the United States Congress, Leo DiCaprio as George W. Bush, George Clooney as Donald Trump, Mark Ruffalo as Rush Limbaugh, Meryl Streep as Megyn Kelly, Joe Biden as Himself, and LeBron James as Corn Pop
 
      Early reviews:

     "Stunning and Brave"  - Salon.com
     "Not sure Donald Trump was alive in 1863, but OK" -  Huffington Post

That letter, if it was read at all, was read by a staff intern, who is probably directed by higher-ups to delete or toss any communication that has smug liberal bullshit and insults in it.

Right to the circular file with this one.

It was the culmination of what Lincoln started on January 1, 1863 and sealed on December 6, 1865. Do some DU-folk need the significance of those two dates explained?

... this cartoon is still dishonest because in it he's wearing a senate jacket or sweater instead of going in unlabeled like at his guerilla get-on-camera stunt.

It may be that Padilla's name and face are so little known that the cartoonist had to label Padilla with his name and title. :rotf:

The photo is an obvious fake. Padilla and Truth have been estranged strangers for decades.

... And with it still in the city,  it was moving slowly. ...

Plus or minus TEB (when he's sober) and another DU-trucker or two I don't recall, most DU-folk don't get the laws of physics. Trucks cannot accelerate from a stop quickly, and trucks cannot stop quickly. For this reason, good truck drivers are very cautious, making sure they are very clear before entering a street or highway, drive slowly on streets, and know they will have a long stopping distance. Hence my post below speculating that the now-dead pedestrian was not paying attention to the presence of something huge or clueless about heavily loaded (70+ tons!) trucks not being able to stop quickly.

I sad for the deceased's family's loss. I'm also sad for the truck driver who probably watched the slow-motion death he could not prevent.

It celebrates the day that word finally filtered out to slaves in Texas that the Republicans freed the Democrat slaves.

You're welcome!

The Republicans

I could almost understand this a little bit IF he would have admitted from the start that he was just following the standard DemonRat practice of stirring up sh!t to get on camera, however, even if he did admit that truth, this cartoon is still dishonest because in it he's wearing a senate jacket or sweater instead of going in unlabeled like at his guerilla get-on-camera stunt.

Was it Ambush at Osirak by Herbert Crowder?

It's been so long ago that I can't remember, but I think it was a multi-part thing that I read online.
