Biden has been working on a diverse federal bench. He's responsible for appointing 3 black women (of the 11 in the federal judiciary).

From the article
The Times found being named a Sheriff’s Office target could have serious consequences. Deputies showed up at homes at all hours of the day and night, writing tickets for violations like overgrown grass and making arrests for any reason they could find.
The Times also found that the agency has a separate program that uses schoolchildren’s grades, attendance records and abuse histories to label them potential future criminals.

Some good news considering it's looking more like a matter of when you contract Covid rather than if.

There are some replies shown as well and one says that since Mitch and Kevin went to meet with Biden and said nothing about it being not the real WH, they are deep state traitors and the GQP needs new leadership. It would be funny if these people weren't serious and have shown the lengths they are willing to go.

For some reason the "80%-size replica" detail is what has done me in.

Re the ears- I think it's just a weird angle. The girls' barn has a giant necked horse like this- absolute beast in size. His name is Tiny and is the sweetest and most gentle horse.

The feeling was that redistricting wasn’t going to be pretty, but this is going to be a lot. Rural areas are losing population and constantly complaining, but not supporting legalization to actually manage real concerns and are focused on all the wrong things.
“Current estimates point to 56% of the state's population residing in Douglas, Lancaster and Sarpy counties, centered largely in the state's three biggest cities of Omaha, Lincoln and Bellevue, according to census data provided by David Drozd, research coordinator at the Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.”

The horse thing is actually a beautiful story. There's a write up in The Guardian about him.
