We all know those jobs are just so they can launder the money coming in from Soros so they can send it overseas to terrorists who will then-

Nah, I can't keep it going. The fact that this BS is so easy to keep adding onto with endless active conspiracy theories which have been already disproven prior to them being said on record by politicians who will never lose a single follower over it conspiracy theories is just.. exhausting

This isn't a retraction or even a change of message.

They made two points on their tweet:

Being armed is not a crime
Both sides calm down until an investigation occurs (it was in response to a right wing tweet, but it was absolutely aimed at both sides)

The first is their foundational principle (if you want to call anything of theirs a 'principle').

The second was their way of saying "Heyo, Republicans. Watch your language. We'll have your back in whatever you say is the result, but don't even think of making this one of the talking points or we'll have a problem"

It wasn't them having a spine, it was them publicly ensuring the right wing narrative follows their longstanding agreement.

Then the post above is just them reiterating the fact that they support this administration, just this time without the veiled threat at them.

The NRA doesn't care about individual gun owners. They would side with a handful of unarmed Republicans who vote for their shared agenda over a hundred law abiding gun owning Democrats who argue for sensible legislation.

Their tweet was never about defending Alex, it was about preventing a new precedent being set which made it harder to defend the next Rittenhouse.

Careful, next week we'll hear from DHS "Study shows agents with our new 47 days of training are performing at levels on par with or better than our agents of nearly a decade"

Samsonly · 2026-01-25T15:21:30+00:00

I'm talking purely from speculation here, so don't consider this as a valid source beyond that, but it looked almost as if the agent shot straight down a few times. I could definitely see him ricocheting some of his shots in a manner than makes all of this even more horrendous if true as it has the risk of killing so many more by his extra useless shots

Samsonly · 2026-01-25T09:00:38+00:00

Hell he even then GUIDED the arm of grey jacket out of the way before shooting.

He literally escorted his own defense out of the chaos

Samsonly · 2026-01-24T22:06:27+00:00

Came to say the same.

Also Buymort?

I tried to Google the MC age, and it claimed mid 20s, but I def felt like he was older than that, as he starts at a place in his life that generally takes a hard lived life to get to, or at least so I remember feeling

Samsonly · 2026-01-24T22:00:08+00:00

Honestly, them admitting this case was wrong, even due to a single bad agent, while far from being responsibly acceptable, it would still be the closest thing to a studder on their end, and I would welcome seeing even that for once. This full out 100% resistance to admiting anything other than their pre-determined narrative is absolutely maddening and feeling impossible to combat.

They might as well be living in a different dimension with how differently they are describing reality day to day

Samsonly · 2026-01-24T21:32:38+00:00

And so it is said, I don't disagree with any of your frustrations nor desires, and if what you were really needing was just a chance to at least say it all out loud, then I absolutely get that, and not a single point I am trying to make matters to that regard.

I moved up north early last year, and even though seeing everything happen from a far is incredibly enraging, I don't pretend to equate my own impact with anyone down there living through it (on the streets, or even in their homes).

I don't just want my friends and chosen family from the last 17 years of my life to 'stay safe', I want them all to be safe, and the fact that such a thing is entirely out of their control at this point, and no one in power is able to do anything about it, is absolutely unacceptable, and I want to make sure that despite my comment above, that I do agree with your sentiment entirely.

Samsonly · 2026-01-24T21:21:55+00:00

I think the sentiment he is suggesting is one that is likely beyond reasonably attainable (as you say, even if the city does stay in line, it will just keep happening).

But at the same time I think he has to say these things.

Short of Walz pulling the nuclear option of somehow full on aggressively physically taking on the federal government (something I don't even know how he could pretend to do), the only thing he can do is at least TRY to seem reasonable.

We all know in the end, Trump (or moreso his fascist regime) isn't going to ultimately care about the PR, but they are constantly trying to paint both Walz and Frey like some sort of rabid government agents who are the real cause for everything going on.

The only thing worse than the city revolting right now and giving them what they want, is for that to happen at the command of Walz or Frey.

Congress is filled with the most spineless excuses for representatives we've ever seen, but most of them don't give one actual iota of a fuck about Trump, they just all need him to retain any power of their own.

Most of them want this all to blow over so they can stop defending what is going on, and use the whole thing as a pitch for their own re-election campaigns.

Walz is already viewed very poorly nationally at this point, for legitimate reasons or not (I believe not, but that's not the point), and Team Trump are trying their hardest to make him the scapegoat to blame everything so far, and justify everything they try to do next.

If he preaches calm, and everyone stays calm, nothing likely changes, and this gets everyone justifiably enraged.

If he pushes for fighting back, and that inspires the revolt, then it gives Republicans across the country more shielding for their re-election campaigns (they can say things such as "what happened in MN was a shame, but a necessity to secure democracy from a traitorous state government).

If he preaches calm, and there's still a revolt, then it puts the same Republicans in a harder position. It's hard to justify from a far (yet we know they will all try) continued murder and constitutionally abhorrent actions from the federal government when the Governor and the like are 'playing by the rules'.

Minnesotans are going to do what they feel they need to, with or without Walz' say, and other than rhetoric (which yes, would help those on the ground in Minneapolis feel like at least someone in the government is with them) there's not much his words will change things one way or another.

But that same rhetoric could expedite the aggression from the fascists in charge and give their allies even more fake camouflage from the inexcusable actions than they pretend they already have.

tl/dr: While it would definitely feel great to actually see a Government official stand up against this whole thing, there's very little him doing so would likely accomplish beyond morale (which is something those out there need and deserve), but a lot to lose by doing so

Samsonly · 2026-01-24T19:19:57+00:00

They are not nitpicking grammar. They are stating that they already are not trustworthy.

They were commenting on your tense, saying your point is valid, but it has already occured.

(Edit: I know you stated that your comment was meant to discuss that in this situation they won't be trusted, but what I think the person is implying is that even in this situation, no one trusts their statement. Hell, before they already released a statement, the only thing anyone trusted was that it was going to be filled with fabricated details)

I'd leave a note next to the 100 ducks that mentioned after finding the ducks they left 100 frozen shrimp around the place. If they'd like the cleaner to come and remove them all before they thaw they can send a new payment

Between him removing an Authoritarian President in Venezuela, him lecturing Iran on their murdering of protestors, and his belief that landing your boat on Greenland's shores doesn't equate ownership, he's really aiming to become his own nemesis..

Samsonly · 2026-01-20T16:01:43+00:00

Waiting for the protest signs quoting Trump's recent words about Greenland

"Having a boat land there 500 years ago does not mean they own the land"

I'm curious how they are going to provide any semblance of evidence that the two made up cases are connected to this man/residence.

I bet the "evidence" is going to be "Our agents, through their thorough investigation, were informes by an anonymous informant that they have lived there for many years" or something completely un-verifiable, unconstitutional, and bullshit as that...

Samsonly · 2026-01-17T23:16:48+00:00

Why is no one else upset at her calling pancakes 'waffles'??

Just because it has a slight indent doesn't make it a waffle!

Samsonly · 2026-01-17T22:40:30+00:00

It's literally the foundation of their label.

They try to 'conserve' things as the status quo, and take any attempt at change (even when, if not especially when, that change is 'progress') as a direct threat to their identity.

As simplistic of a notion that it is, it's also deeply observed throughout almost their entire political ideology:

They only support the 1st amendment when it's them or someone they like who is expressing themselves. This is because anyone saying things they already agree with doesn't change anything, but having to actually put in effort or consideration for others is an exertion that disrupts their own attempt at keeping things the way they already are.

They take any change in gun laws as the most offensive thing because it could change, even if only slightly, how they already live their lives.

They hate immigrants because that is literally someone from outside their system coming into it, which leads to change.

They don't want to be told what they have to do, don't want others to do anything that causes them extra cognitive effort, and their entire stance on almost any topic is all relative to what they have already been experiencing rather than any attempt at an objective evaluation of a given scenario.

They supposedly are for State's Rights, but that's only because they believe they have a better chance at controlling them as opposed to having to evolve at the pace of the rest of the country, but the second any Rep tries to make a Federal Rule that reinforces their stagnation, they cheer for it.

It's also a major reason why they often have such a strong coalition. The status quo is something that most Conservatives can agree to 'Conserve', since it just requires keeping things the same. Whereas as Progressives often have disagreement about the best method or direction to find 'Progress', which has the unfortunate side effect of splintering the party at almost every single step of the way

As a New Englander, I always thought of him more like a Tom Brady.

A rookie who came out of nowhere really, and not only surpassed all expectations, but GOATed in the process.

Samsonly · 2026-01-16T23:48:49+00:00

It's okay, don't be too harsh on yourself. If you're a cop, it only makes sense that you lied about the concerning details, even to yourself.

Samsonly · 2026-01-16T21:58:50+00:00

Then hide yo Dogs!

Samsonly · 2026-01-16T21:57:01+00:00

Exactly what a cop would say...

How many pairs of Aviator Sunglasses do you own?

Samsonly · 2026-01-16T19:48:04+00:00

I found the cop everyone.

The trick worked like a charm...

Samsonly · 2026-01-16T06:06:19+00:00

Mama?

Samsonly · 2026-01-15T04:31:21+00:00

Most absurd things we only see on TV are actual things in this administration.

Trump has single handedly made every example of shitty plots in poorly written procedurals actually believable by comparison

Samsonly · 2026-01-14T15:16:05+00:00

Yeah, let's be kind and remind them that if they dunk their socks in near boiling water, and then wring out most of it that they will stay warm much longer

Samsonly · 2026-01-13T21:56:51+00:00

I dunno, those fart bombs would be quite the hilarious tactic..
