This shows you can eventually indict a ham sandwich, but you can't get a guilty virdict.

Be prepared for lots of sub tossing at ICE raids, but not a good look while Americans are not being helped to eat. As Jesus demanded if ya believe those tells. Just good human rules, and passionate deeds, no special sky ghost needs to tell us to.
Maybe toss “rubber” subs like those squeaky rubber chicken toys. Imagine hundreds of em squeaking at the ICE thugs as an insult to this whole damn trial.
Is this the manlyism Kegsbreath and J Waters demand of men? Terrified of a sandwich while dressed and armed for war. They need some real war experiences, that shoot back and are not afraid of OUR courts.

But while a DC, or LA or Chicago or NYC or SF Bay Area jury might acquit, there are some cities where that same outcome would be far less likely.

Naval prosecutor: "You're stalling on this, Kaffee! Your client is up on charges of possession!"

Kaffee: "It was oregano, Dave. He bought a dime-bag of oregano."

Prosecutor: "He thought it was marijuana!"

Kaffee: "My client is an idiot. But that's not a crime."

Who knew that, IRL, they would one day indict a sandwich?

... my recent Subway foot-long purchase. I ate half and saved the other for the next day's lunch... the bread seemed a little hard, but not stale. The next day, it was rock hard. I've never noticed their bread was this bad, and I assumed quality was going down. BUT maybe I was wrong. Maybe the bread is harder in case I need to use the Subway Club as a defensive weapon against ICE agents?

Long live the jury trial in America.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (@raskin.house.gov) 2025-11-06T19:52:48.052Z


Don’t forget that the sandwich guy was released at the scene and then re-arrested in a raid by a full tactical team. They were willing to kill him and and any neighbors in the way to get propaganda footage of the “arrest”.
