It can be, yes. Helps if you remember the skin is an external organ.

House Democrats have been privately advised by their leadership not to travel to Minnesota in support of anti-ICE protesters there, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: Several Democratic politicians have made the trek in recent days, including Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) and New York congressional candidates Brad Lander and Micah Lasher.
But in an email to Democratic congressional offices dated Monday, a copy of which was obtained by Axios, a senior staffer for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) urged members to remain in their districts for security reasons.
The guidance comes amid a heightened threat environment for members of Congress, including recent attacks on Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.).
What they're saying: "In speaking with the [Minnesota] delegation offices and the Governor's team it has become clear that the best thing for Members to do right now is to support their MN colleagues by participating in the Days of Action in their home district this week," the staffer wrote.
"Visiting the state right now, although well intentioned, puts a burden on local resources and does not support our colleagues, the city and state government, local law enforcement and most importantly the people of Minneapolis."
The authenticity of the email was confirmed to Axios by two staffers who received it.
What we're hearing: That guidance has also been shared through informal channels, one House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal conversations, told Axios.
"Minnesota elected officials cautioned members from going as it could add strain and overwhelm local law enforcement," the lawmaker said.You're already paying for it all. With your money and your lives.
Watch the video, straight up murder, they had already pistolwhipped him, he was done.
It tells us he has no other choices, he is just as likely to be murdered by the us government as he is chinas. Both are giant shitholes.
It was in his waistband, at the small of his back. You can see an agent lift his shirt and take the gun, then you hear the first shot. Agent with his gun runs away, other agents magdump on the man.
Caught between two shithole countries is no place to be.
Both pooty and p2025 want this, although for different reasons. Both have told you this, and both have published the plans for how to do it. How do you not know this ?
A five year old found out while you were letting trump fuck around. You and I have drastically different definitions of sideways.
I honestly don't think they ever had any to begin with.
if things go sideways in my home state
I'm really curious, what else do you think has to happen there before you consider it sideways ?
That is self preservation, not decency.
