Now wait just a darn minute -- something doesn't add up!
Given that he arrived in 1909, and his wife and kids came in 1927 (or later, depending on the source):
... And one of the kids was 12-year-old Vincenzo Bovino, Gregory’s future grandfather, who was automatically granted so-called “derivative citizenship” for minors. That is called chain migration!
By my math, Bovino's grandpa was a bastard (much like his current offspring, but in the moral sense, in his case) ... because there's no record that the great-grandpa ever returned to Italy, so when his 12-year-old "child" arrived 20 years after he left ... well, you do the math ...
These villain origin stories are always so disappointingly banal. No falling into a vat of chemicals or having half their face splashed with acid. Just shitty people who had shitty parents. Can’t we at least have one where toxic fumes caused all of their hair to fall out?
Maybe…just spitballin’ here… Mr Bovino has met the great nephew of Clyde Tolson, or Cardinal Spellman, and this fine gentleman is his number two at ICE, and they go to the racetrack together, and place $2 bets together, and watch old Rock-and-Doris movies together, and take vacations together, and have never heard that it is OK to get married now, we on the Left aren’t going to judge, and that maybe if Mr Bovino is out, all his repressed anger at his dad can be worked through in therapy, and he can be a nice ICE, like Jack was in the Border, or in Anger Management.
Can someone please tell him Justice Kennedy said it’s OK now?
Tatiana Schlossberg, an environmental journalist and a daughter of Caroline Kennedy — and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy — whose harrowing essay about her rare and aggressive blood cancer, published in The New Yorker magazine in November, drew worldwide sympathy and praise for Ms. Schlossberg’s courage and raw honesty, died on Tuesday. She was 35.
Her death was announced in an Instagram post by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, signed by her family. It did not say where she died...
Ms. Schlossberg was the author of “Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Didn’t Know You Had” (2019), a kind of consumer’s guide to the ways in which human behavior adversely affects the climate. In 2020, the Society of Environmental Journalists honored the book with the Rachel Carson Environment Book Award. Ms. Schlossberg hoped her book would help people make changes in their behavior and buying habits, rather than being overwhelmed by climate anxiety and fatalism.
“We don’t have to keep living like this, in fear of the future and with guilt about the past, because change is possible,” she wrote.
Ms. Schlossberg is survived by her parents, her siblings and her husband, whom she met at Yale and married in 2017, along with their two young children...
Former wrestling coach in NC - Bovino liked snakes. Big Orange ones, especially?
Quotes by a former agent in CA - Bovino the "Liberace" of BP. Border Patrol - "Butthole of the Federal Service", a Cult, least trained of Federal Service. Taught to hunt migrants like animals to make them suffer or die as deterrent to others. Migrants are called "Tonks" because that's the sound the flashlight makes when they hit them in the head.
Operation Raven Racists

He seems nice
I can't be the first one to read Yemenite like Yosemite!

Hey, I have a slightly bigger "purse sized dog" and she says she takes offense at this ...
purse sized dog Libelz!

This was a Catholic culture. This sort of thing was very easy to explain.
It wasn't. It just was. That was that.
There's a lot of compartmentalization in Catholicism.

At least Hitler had the failed artist thing.

I was going to comment that Greg and Ric Grennel seem made for each other
Which anniversary is leather?
People with all sorts of biographies, good families, bad families, avidly joined the Nazi party in the 1930s and participated in horrific murders.
If Bovino and his thugs go to Baltimore, it will be called “Operation B’More Cruel.”
Or Operation Baltimore Gloryholes?
“Charm City Catch-All”
Then they will be Baltimorons.
A name we used in the 80s to describe the hordes of weekend warriors flocking to Ocean City MD from Balmore.
I think H.L. Menken coined "Baltimorons" back at the turn of the last century to describe his hometown's elites.
Interesting! I read a lot of Mencken back then and missed this.
They’ll never make it out of The Block.

Fuck Cancer
Fuck cancer inDEEEED.
Why are the good ones taken when there are so many others to choose from?
If you were picking the ones to join you, would you pick the bad ones?
While I knew this was coming it has hit like a brick. My heart breaks for those sweet little kids.
Yeah, somehow I thought she'd have more time.
Greg Bovino grew up reading gun magazines, and was especially devoted to the he-man stories by Skeeter Skelton. http://darkcanyon.net/The_Legend_Of_Charley_Askins.htm
I didn't go all that far into the story, stopping when I realized I was mentally replacing the word gun with penis every time I saw it.
Yeah, I can't say I managed to read much of it, but the flavor is plain throughout, let's say.
WBEZ Chicago 12/12 story on Bovino & BP, lots of ugly stuff here - long but very worth a listen -

I hope Bovino gets everything he deserves, in spades.
Thoughts and prayers.
Is it wrong to assume he and Devin Nunes spend a lot of time doing Eiffel Towers in the barnyard?
"... he got inspired to join the Border Patrol, after watching a movie called The Border..."
Yikes. Greg Bovino is yikes.
And my family has been in the country longer than his, which is only funny considering he'd round us up for deportation at first glance.
I guess don't let your kids watch subpar Jack Nicholson movies is my point.
"Forget it Jake, it's the racism."
Bovino turned into a sentient menstrual cramp.
I think he was born that way. In fact…
