@GottaLaff because that's what you do with convicted child sex traffickers: you move them into lower-security facilities so they'll be more comfortable.

@GottaLaff I'm not sure why this particular tidbit hit me so hard, but it did: Emil Bove confirmed to a lifetime appt as a federal judge. Gave me terrible sleepless anxiety last night. Things ain't getting better anytime soon

@GottaLaff @SnowyCA Laffy, you're essentially the only reason I go on Mastodon anymore, and I really value your posts. And I like and respect you a ton. You are smart and reliable.
@GottaLaff but Trump is the BEST at being deposed. Nobody's deposition has ever been more perfect than his!
