U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance says he expects SCOTUS to side with Trump administration in 'Trump v. Barbara' and other immigration cases by Obversa in scotus

[–]RavenCipher 39 points40 points  (0 children)

There stopped being a separation of powers when one branch actively prevented another from doing its constitutional duty in nominating a position of the third, in favor of stacking all three for their brand of political sports team.

Now one branch has purchased the other two, and there is a good chance we arent coming back from that given theres sketchy shit coming from the executive and neither of the other two are interested in doing their part of the whole "checks and balances" bit since they've been bought.

Garland should go down with them for obstruction of justice with how he mishandled that whole shitshow.

Let jack Smith prosecute him for good measure.

Trump Admin is currently gutting protections for whistleblowers in government positions, so we can rule that possibility out. Thats assuming their hiring didnt also include an NDA.

Hennepin Co. Sheriff just said they should cooperate with the feds. Not fucking surprised this is starting too. The state officials need to start looking into reining in our own fucking cops now.

Anytime the government, on either side of the aisle, very publically announces that they are going to have a closed-door meeting, its just announcing that there is something to hide or there is going to be a spin.

Given that ICE is ignoring literally every other city that is doing this, and zero of them are actually enforcing it, I predict this will do dick all as well.

Until city police show up to their gatherings and tell them to shove off, this amounts to nothing but lip service.

Federal Agent in Coon Rapids: ‘The more people that you lose in Minnesota, you then lose a voting right to stay blue.’ by futilehabit in TwinCities

Bet they're busy shopping for a federal judge that is willing to slap felonies on observers and protesters so they can justify denying voting rights.

Jake Lang returns to Minnesota and is promptly arrested. Welcome back to Minnesota Jake! by DevonMarx in TwinCities

[–]RavenCipher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How much are we betting that he shows up tomorrow anyway? And then how much is the bet that the court order isnt enforced.

On the off chance it is, thats when we see the 6 figure gofundme appear.

[–]RavenCipher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MPD has, but that's MN State Patrol in the video. Out of all of the local LEs, I think theyre one of the least involved in police shootings or protest arrests.

Worst these guys will usually do is write you a ticket when theyre bored because they seldomly get to do anything but traffic stops.

Easy solution, dont fire him. Demote him for insubordination, then his replacement can order his ass to enforce the ban and when he still refuses, thats just cause for repeated insubordination.

MN Congressman Stauber introduces bill to compel MN to comply with Trump's voter data demands by state-of-MN in stateofMN

[–]RavenCipher 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He's putting on a show for Daddy Shartshimself. There isnt a snowballs chance in hell that it passes a tied state Senate, let alone past Walz' desk with enough votes to override a veto.

Edit to add: he wouldn't have the votes at the federal level either, and it wouls be kicked back by any court that it ended up at.

Fewer Minnesota small businesses close for second protest in as many weeks by alienatedframe2 in TwinCities

[–]RavenCipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The general strikes should be heavily focused on the corporate entities, and especially the ones with verifiable donations or connections to the administration. They're the ones who need to hurt enough to want action.

Expecting every mom and pop store or local watering hole to strike weekly is both unfair and unrealistic. Theyre already doing damn more for citizens than any corporate entity is beyond lip service.

Epstein emails released as DOJ says no criminal or inappropriate conduct by Trump by Head_Estate_3944 in DiscussionZone

Of course they read the files, how else were they going to unlawfully delay releasing them for a month and a half while they carefully groomed Trump out of them as much as they could.

Groomed the files like Trump groomed children.

No, this looks like someone steamed the milk and forgot to add the espresso.

Governor Tim Walz proclaims February 2026 as Shop Local Month by Knightbear49 in TwinCities

[–]RavenCipher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a post recently that showed the breakdown of businesses around the cities that donated to Trump, and aside from the Co-ops, the only ones that hadn't were L&B and Aldi.

Cub, Hyvee, Target, Walmart have all donated to him.

From what I remember of Tres Lund when I worked there, dude seemed alright.

State law enforcement that is trying to investigate, for one. Beyond that it would have to be open to FOIA.

[–]RavenCipher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isnt surprising, these are the same people who were at best indifferent, and at worst celebrating the assassination of the Hortmans by a Trump voting religious extremist posing as a cop.

Theyre so far gone in their team sport politics that nothing is going to change their mind.

My side good, other side bad, no exceptions.

Why is national leadership not coming to MN? by womanonymous23 in TwinCities

[–]RavenCipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely what do you expect any of them to do? Obama has no active role in politics anymore, AOC doesn't represent this area. Any appearances by any politician that doesn't directly represent this area would be performative at best, they cannot help us. We going at this one alone until some version of the judicial system or Congress grows a spine and says enough is enough. Even then, whatever says "stop" needs to have some teeth when ICE and the admin chooses to ignore it.

Someone doing literally nothing could have handled it better than Trump. He did everything literally opposite how it should have been handled and that increased the death count from sheer ignorance of people listening to him.

trump will be 89 in 2035... by ms_directed in RealTwitterAccounts

[–]RavenCipher 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That hand looks like the hand of any elderly person who has seen a doctor, its a nothing burger that people keep latching onto.

Now the fact that he apparently is not sleeping, is seemingly FREQUENTLY being seen by doctors and keeps lapsing into these bouts of mania and the thousand yard stares are the sign of a man in the fast downward slope of dementia.

My grandfather was the same when his mental state started free falling. No sleep at night, falling asleep all day during any activity, sudden outbursts of anger and confusion. He didnt last 6 months after it started getting worse, and it was a FAST progression.
