one thing I didn't realize until I did some casual digging: Trump's father was equally as nasty as his son, and this is one apple that never quite let go of the tree. So he learned from the experts how to behave in public. (that was sarcasm)

When a governor has to remind the federal government that murder is still illegal, something has gone very wrong.

Walz isn’t posturing. He’s drawing a line between law and impunity, between accountability and masked power.

This isn’t left vs right anymore. It’s whether the state answers to evidence or to uniforms with no names.

Madel, who is also a lawyer representing the ICE agent who shot Renee Good, explained his decision: "I can't look my daughters in the eye and say I'm running as a Republican..." How about looking them in the eye when you're defending a murderer of a woman who also called her "a fucking bitch."

Wait a minute...Madel is defending Good's murderer? How can he look his daughters in the eye after that?

I've heard that ICE has "detained" witnesses to the latest murder. I doubt anyone will ever see them again.

So the righties are just sure there is a sinister, wealthy, probably Jewish guy BANKROLLING! the supply of coffee, donuts and hand warmers to people in Minnesota who are braving the cold to stand up for their right to live without a gang of masked federal agents eager to shoot protestors. Makes sense. Even if it were true, what would it mean? That a wealthy person is using their money to make protestors more comfortable? Oh, the humanity.

"Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard" -Justice Robert Jackson.

This was ever the desire of the Right in our country and we see it in bloody reality in Minnesota.

I read something recently about antisocial personality disorder

Different from malignant narcissism

But similar to the devil

They don't like peace

They like chaos

They love noise

Donald even made that admission on camera

That's one of the reasons he keeps pouring gasoline on fires

That and it's something out of Project 2025, AKA the Fascist Playbook

If only people had read it when they were asked

MONTHS before the November 2024 US federal elections

They do not make tonight a wonderful thing

I am still sad that we could have had this man as VP instead of Couchfucker. What could have been...

And we know for sure two things about Vance. He has no real power or role in this administration except to toe the line, and he has promised not to certify the election results in the unlikely event that a free and fair election takes place in 28. That conversation took place, it must have. Trump asked Vance what he would do if faced with the Mike Pence situation. Vance promised to follow orders, illegal or not.

Walz and Harris would have achieved great things for us. Hillary and Tim Kaine would have too. It’s just too tragic to think about. How much we’ve lost and continue to lose.

and when you see the shambles this country is becoming, you realize that donald duck and bugs bunny could have done a better job at it.

I would have loved seeing Walz and Harris in the Oval Office, maybe next time around, eh.

If the majority of the American people could be counted on to do the right thing, Kamala Harris would be President and Walz would be Vice President and none of this shit would be happening.

Agreed. That’s why our entire potus election system needs to be reexamined and reformed. We need standards and basic prerequisites to serve as elected officials. Degrees with diverse study in relevant fields - history, political science, economics, geography, sociology, etc. A minimum of 2 years of service in local government, plus 2 years in state government. Then, candidates must be vetted for moral and ethical questions, and for the vulnerability to corruption. Trump would meet none of these qualifications. He had no experience in service. He had no real applicable education or experience except for a history of scamming people and bad debts and bankruptcy. He’s thrice married with a history of adultery and numerous sexual assault and rape allegations.

Trump being elected, twice, should tell us much about our society, and what it reveals is pretty terrifying. Our democracy is too precious to trust in the hands of the general public. If elected officials aren’t going to be vetted, then voters themselves must be.

Tim Walz - a fine and sometimes brilliant man, and a good one. Pity the Dems completely muzzled him in the campaign, and did some condultant-tested " oh just talk about football and act like a guy at the feed store, Tim" patronizing bullshit. Well he's a good man for this moment, and he leads a state full of the bravest, kindest people you could find anywhere.

I love his response to Pam Bondage. I wish he would stay in politics but I expect his family is legitimately his priority.

As others have likely pointed out, hindering an investigation can result in a felony conviction. We may not know the identity of the murderer, but we definitely know who's hindering the investigation.
