"executing a white man in cold blood, recorded from many angles, then the federal government refusing to investigate and protecting the identity of the shooter and agents involved"

* I was going to ask why the qualifier of "white" and then realized that the RINOs, MAGAdroids, and cultists wouldn't get worked up over the outright assassination of a POC and even begin to think about demanding justice for the ***real*** victims.

* As I posted before, I expect Ka$h Patel's Pets™ to open an investigation, and then close the case ½ hour later since the shooting was justified -- in their eyes -- since Mr Pretti was obviously a RADICAL LEFTIST because he was legally packing, and had the audacity to record the ICEholes' actions. Those two criteria are all that is needed to proclaim Petti as a domestic terrorist, so there.

"Alex Pretti for his own shooting — TEN TIMES at point-blank range"

Kyle Rittenhouse is as much of a dipshit as he always was.

* If Hakeem Jeffries is a "gay communist" then pretty much everyone servicing the Fulvous Fuckwad is a "gay Fascist."

* Like all MAGA cultists, Rittenhouse lives for projection. If I'm not mistaken it's the Nectarine Nattering Nabob of Negativism (thank you Mr Safire) who's protecting pedophiles, including himself. And while spousal abuse is not confined to a single political party, misogyny is much more prevalent in Right wingnut circles.

* Again, Rittenhouse has been consuming mass quantities of the MAGA blue pill. It's the Corrupt Coral Coward who has diarrhea of the fingers when it comes to posting rage-bait and stoking the flames -- of White "Christian" Nationalism.

This is what passes for leadership in the U.S.? This ignorant jackass in the White House, total freaks in the Cabinet, and a maniac running everything to rid the country of nonwhite people? My friends, China is busy building an advanced manufacturing economy and ours is going to hell. The $38 trillion national debt is a serious problem. No one is dealing with real problems. The country is going downhill fast.

"Signees include CEOs of Target, Best Buy, 3M, General Mills, Hormel, the Minnesota Twins and Vikings, Allianz, Cargill, Land O’Lakes, Sleep Number Beds, Hormel, Winnebago and the United Health Group, all bravely risking inflaming the Old Man’s hemorrhoids to stand up for their shareholders’ greenbacks."

Sadly the best hope is a bunch of CEOs telling Trump they're no longer going to eat any cost of his tariffs and they're going to start passing 100% of them on immediately if he doesn't stop.

So none.

Respectfully, I disagree. They look at Pretti and see a bald, bearded, slender male nurse. They look at Renee Good and see a gay woman. Both lived in Minneapolis. That makes them, from the MAGA standpoint, the Other: urban, educated, effete liberals from the bluest city in a blue state.

IOW, fair game.

WH distancing itself from Noem and Stephen Miller’s characterization of the Alex Pretti incident as domestic terrorism.

“I have not heard the president characterize Mr. Pretti in that way,” Leavitt said.

Is that a crack I hear?

Ta, Marcie. Until a few minutes ago, I had no idea Grace Jones covered Love Is the Drug by Roxy Music. I prefer RM's version, but Grace did it justice. Speaking of justice, that is what I want for the murderers of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti, whose memories will always be a blessing.

My bet is hearing about off duty cops being pulled over for the crime of driving while black/brown was the tipping point for Chris Madel. He's the MN FOP endorsed candidate. He's also buddies with Bob Kroll and provided legal counsel to Jonathan Ross so *shruggy*

Bear: PROTECT THE AMERICUB's avatar

One of his leading associate attorneys also very publicly quit the firm just a couple of days ago, stating that it was because Madel had provided counsel to Ross.

Thank you. I missed that news - I was traveling last week

It's being reported that Bovino is expected to leave Minnesota "imminently." Just as soon as they can remove his foot from his fascist mouth.

noname's avatar

Maybe he'll choke on it.

Michael P Peck's avatar

I'm not discounting Kyle's contention the provocateurs who murdered Pretti are pedophiles and woman-beaters

OK, dudes, it's dicks you're smelling. Open the door to your locker room and air it out.

Before getting to the second line I read it as though said line would be "get down, get down".

Betcha that Walz DID NOT say he was happy that Homan was going there.

And hell yeah. I want to see Noem gone but she’ll just get another job with the regime and beg for her new airplane.

You know what I find myself thinking about? All the old vets. The ones who have been told that the nice young man that made sure they got chocolate pudding because that was their favorite has been shot and killed while he laid on his back with a face full of pepper spray and nine bullets being pumped into his body.

And a picture of the staff, trying to explain it to them and having to shout it over and over again because the old people don’t understand. And then some of them crying. And some of them getting mad. And then some of them asking the next day. Where is Alex?

I’m speaking this into my phone as I’m driving because I don’t really have anyone I can call and say these words too. So I would imagine there’s typos and way too many commas in the wrong places and not enough in the right ones and I ask your understanding with that. Thank you for being here and reading the words and helping to create this community.

thank you for bringing this up and reminding folks of the impact alex had on his community.it is soul crushing to think we have 1/3 of the country so deeply disturbed that approve of this sociopathy

And that impact will last for years and years, long after the man who killed him, has his guns taken away and has to go back to playing Call of Duty® online.

Bear: PROTECT THE AMERICUB's avatar

Yeah, it's definitely been (and will continue to be) some rough processing. In his pre-nursing days, Alex used to deliver for our small pizza franchise (two stores). He worked at the other store, but a few of the people I work with cover both stores and have been reminiscing about the guy. A true class act and a wonderful human being. Watching the Drumpfosphere call him a "domestic terrorist" makes me want to become an ACTUAL one.

𝕺𝖓𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖉's avatar

I watched an interview this morning with the doctor that initially hired him for the research position, and she talked about how he delivered pizza to make ends meet, because he loved his job so much and wanted to keep doing the research work. She talked about how he juggled his hours so that he could take evening classes. She talked about how kind he was and how much people liked him.
