I remember what that fucking weasel Coleman did. When Wellstone was killed, Coleman immediately announced that he was suspending his campaign. Then he went on a TV talk show to announce that he was suspending his campaign. Then he went on one radio interview after another to announce that he was suspending his campaign. He kept it up as long as he could, "announcing" his oh-so-principled "suspension" over and over and OVER. What a slimy piece of shit.

As for Tafoya, it should be fun seeing her in a debate, especially trying to defend ICE.

I can see MN getting bluer.

I said it before but, prior to the ICE kidnappings and executions, Madel had a chance to win if he survived the GOP primary. And if he didn't, he could have run as a write-in. Arne Carlson forced Jon Grunseth out, became the GOP write-in in October of 1990, and won his election, while Jesse Ventura won his election as a Reform Party candidate in 1999. MN has a whole history, is what I'm saying.

Tafoya is, personality and media-wise, another Royce White. He was a terrible candidate chosen by cynical people who thought his combination of star power and skin color would attract traditionally non-GOP voters in sufficient number to win the race, instability be damned.

Tafoya has what passes for star power in Minnesota, but Lisa DeMuth obviously has more political connections and a whole history of loud-mouthed obstruction, so I'm guessing she wins the GOP primary. Having said that, all of the candidates are bonkers, as are many of the people who vote for them, so who knows? I'm really curious about the former Lindell supporters in my neighborhood. Whose sign will they put up this year?

coco lurks from home's avatar

Well... Jon Grunseth forced himself out, on account of being a big perv on teenage girls.

That was a super weird year. In a bizarre twist, the (D) candidate, Rudy Perpich, was anti-choice, and the (R) candidate, Carlson, was pro-choice. I was a young single issue voter that year, and it was the only time in my life I've voted for a Republican.

But Carlson has supported Dems for many years now.

ETA: IIRC, I think technically Carlson ran as an (I). But, you know - he was known as an (R).

How about pretending that you're a celebrity and setting an example, Bill-O?

"M"'s avatar

Nicely done, and the only necessary response

I think I'll go on social media and echo it

I also don't think it's an accident that celebrities who tried to speak out about ICE *or* Epstein are being blocked or even deleted on Tik Tok this very sane day, and I don't just mean the political creators

Odious celebrity(?) who hosts a show interviewing celebrities, some of them Democrats, tells Democrats to demand that celebrities shut the fuck up.

Anyone make a Flan joke yet?

SkeptiKC's avatar

I remember my mom becoming obsessed with properly preparing flan for an in-store demonstration of a particular appliance in a department store just before the holidays [my dad worked as a sales representative for the West Bend company]. Thus she practiced the recipe at home several times before becoming comfortable regarding what she was supposed to sell.

To say that I became rather sick of the stuff is a profound understatement.

I love flan. The Spanish sort. French and Mexican are too sweet.

Would either Talarico or Crockett consider moving up here from Texas? That way we wouldn't have to choose between them.

The man is disgusting, and stuff like this is always remarkable to me because, if nothing else, it demonstrates that he is incapable of learning that stuff like this is fucking awful.

Benjamin's avatar

Yep. Maybe it shouldn't be surprising though, because immediately after the Reiners were murdered, he tried to take credit for the deaths. Just like a normal, well-adjusted person would.

I wouldn't call Chris Madel a Republican with values. My money is on that he didn't like off-duty cops being pulled over and harassed because he was the Bob Kroll/FOP candidate. And if it's not that he's positioning himself to seem "reasonable" so he can run again later on. Or both. Could be both.

I'm pretty sure he is regretting his choice to give legal advice to Jonathan Ross. Didn't turn out to go over very well.

Under Larry Ellison's ownership of Tiktok - TikTokkers should know that THIS is going to be the kind of thing that's going to be happening

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVhJarA6zRg

Why TikTok Deleted My 1.1 Million Follower Account (And What I'm Doing About It)

"TikTok permanently banned both of Hawk's accounts within days, wiping out 1.1 million followers on the main account and 140,000 on the backup. After years of building a community on TikTok, the platform deleted MDG650hawk and Hawkeye Whack-a-Ole without warning. This marks a turning point as YouTube becomes the primary platform for all future content. Larry Ellison's acquisition of TikTok raises questions about censorship and content moderation, particularly regarding coverage of Gaza Strip, Palestinian civilians, Israeli military actions, and criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu.

The new TikTok ownership under Ellison, known as the largest private donor to Israeli military operations, appears to be silencing voices critical of Israeli government policies in Gaza and the West Bank. Commentary on Donald Trump administration policies, including immigration enforcement under Steven Miller, Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and Greg Abbott, will continue exclusively on YouTube.

The focus shifts to learning new video production techniques, improving community engagement through comments, expanding to Substack and Facebook, and building the YouTube channel toward one million subscribers. Political satire and analysis of current events continue without platform restrictions or censorship. All long-form videos will be published on YouTube first, with plans to enhance production quality and develop new content formats for better viewer interaction and political commentary."

Larry Ellison is the founder of Oracle and the father of David Ellison, chief shareholder of CBS/Paramount as facilitated by current FCC collaborator Brendan Carr and responsible for the mess CBS is under Wari Beiss

All according to Project 2025

Megyn Kelly Says She Doesnโ€™t โ€˜Feel Sorryโ€™ for Alex Pretti Because He Was โ€˜Resisting Arrestโ€™ Like George Floyd

https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/megyn-kelly-says-she-doesnt-feel-sorry-for-alex-pretti-because-he-was-resisting-arrest-like-george-floyd/

Fifth Dentist's avatar

There's a right-winger douche barrel who goes by the online nom de dumbass "the older millennial" who was all "He should have complied" about Pretti.

A couple of days later he was arrested by police on a probation violation on a DUI. Some enterprising genius got the police body cam.

How did the drunken (yes, he was wasted) idiot" comply" with law enforcement officers who had a valid arrest warrant? By running (badly) in an attempt to escape from the cops, who quickly took him into custody.

What consequences did he receive for not complying? The police put his handcuffs on him on the front part of his body.

Sitting in the back seat of the patrol car, he was allowed to call multiple people (exes, apparently) in the hope of having someone come quickly to bail him out. For some reason, none of them answered his 4 a.m. drunken calls.

And, having seen his blather and knowing what an absolute moron he is, I can assure you that he is totally incapable of drawing any lesson from the disparity in treatment between his case and Pretti's. Even if a thousand people spent a thousand years explaining it to him, I still don't think he'd get it.

Thesaurus Wrecks's avatar

They were not arresting him. They put 10 bullets in an unarmed man for no GD reason.
