Lawyer for busted drug dealer: “Sure, your honor, they seized several kilos of cocaine, but what’s really at issue here are the Yeezy sneakers and my client’s priceless collection of novelty pornographic playing cards that were seized at the same time! All we’re asking for is a little justice!”

They forgot to mention the Celine Dion picture.

Some search warrant raids, if the FBI is really pissed, they bring a Celine Dion picture and leave it at the scene.

IF you’ve lost Judge William Pryor then you might as well turn your lying crooked ass in to the feds.

He’s a staunch conservative who usually never passed up an opportunity to stick it in the liberals’ ass given the chance.

Looks like the word came down from the PuppetMasters to sink the Orange Fuck and quickly.*

*See SCOTUS ruling on taxes.
