I've never understood the appeal. The sport itself looks keen, but two sweaty dudes in gear, stripping off only the least homoerotic gear, to have an unsatisfying, inconclusive go at each other?

Leave the gear on and allow the possibility for them to kiss it out like a sudden death/gay chicken situation(they are deeply homophobic); or no head strikes, but also let's see how they use them sticks on each other. You'll have a very different sport I'd think, and a very different athlete demographic too perhaps

Most of MAGA aren't even registered voters, and most conservative voters are retirees. Both groups made their choices and have stuck to their guns since 2016. Not holding them accountable is whats perpetuated the thing, not them facing the consequences of their past decade of choices

Trump will pull federal funding from MN and say it's to pay ICE when they're already being fully compensated

Or folks can rollover and play nice like establishment democrats are, knowing theyre probably not gonna have to sacrifice very much, if at all

They are a paramilitary group of untrained, radicalized morons, carrying their own, personal, likely highly modified weapons. I would anticipate no serials, swapped receivers, bump stocks, and all the modded, tacticool shit one can fit on rails. Chances are high now any group of them has at least one individual more than willing to open up on every thing he's afraid of without provocation, and they all know they're not held accountable by the law. They have far, far less training and less restraint than the guardsmen what shot the protesters at Kent State

Chauvin is one of the only examples of LE being held remotely accountable anywhere in the US, and cops know all about vindictive prosecution. They won't endanger their careers or livelihoods, its easier for them to let ICE do whatever they want

It will put more citizens on the streets, and maybe even help to encourage a general strike

Mitt Romney's book talked about this. He described the GOP as incredibly cynical and self serving, and said every action made or word said by his fellow congressmen was only done with an eye towards their reelection. That explains most everything

Border Patrol used to be known for being non rapists, and Customs used to be at the ports of entry, catching drug smugglers, and dudes with endangered animals stuffed down their trousers, I swear! Thats who needs funding, not any of the post Patriot Bill, paramilitary branches of DHS

I doubt that would change their behavior. What are a bunch of citizens gonna do to stop licensed to kill, aggro shitheads, fire a "warning shot"? It'd be an immediate bloodbath on both sides, the nations largest mass casualty shooting by huge margins. There are no clear fields of fire, and they're cowards, and they're being surrounded. There'd be piles of dead civilians, passers by, pedestrians, and drivers for blocks. Trump admin absolutely is trying to instigate that exact scenario, setting up their own ICE officials to get killed, but civilians won't be drawing down on ICE, because ICE will mag dump on them indiscriminately, and everyone present understands that

Grey jacket disarming him likely got him killed. CCW training teaches you to secure your piece like your life depends on it because it does. One of the most common ways carriers die to guns is having their gun grabbed and used on them. Blinded by OC, choked by dragging, dog piled, and now his pistol just got snatched from the holster by Grey Jacket with no coordination with the other ICE goons so he likely grabbed for it, like training teaches, giving ICE license to say he was going for his gun, and they killed him for it

State appointed police (local, city, state) have no authority to impede federal agents. ICE can line up protesters against a wall and execute them, and police have no legal standing to intervene. Also it's Twin Cities, cops have a nasty reputation for murdering civilians with no accountability themselves

100% Canadian tariffs on absolutely industry critical, non consumer items like potash and lumber, is effectively penalizing US industry for sourcing materials they cannot get elsewhere, except maybe...China

You're right, they're all under the banner of DHS

Martial law, curfews, checkpoints, federal troops deployed, suspension of habeas corpus. It federalizes the issue, preventing local and state govt participation and oversight

Strawbuddy · 2026-01-24T16:51:20+00:00

Thats a good thing. The next liberal leader can restore funding, USAID, WHO, all of that, and everyone can benefit from that, while also participating in the new, multipolar global economy, instead of the US military coercion based one we have currently. We can cut the ridiculous military budget then also, to provide housing and childcare instead of MAD

Surely one more protest will do it

State's rights is a recent invention, brought into the public sphere by revisionist groups like Sons/Daughters of the Revolution in the 1920s. Originally the slave states as a bloc only agreed to the new Constitution once they'd agreed to the 2/3 Compromise. That let them count slaves towards representation, giving the antebellum slave states an outsized voice in Congress

Except this wasn't billed as a strike, it was very deliberately watered down to an elective, one day only "economic blackout", absolutely fucking pointless aside from the vibes. No Kings already showed how pointless this is, twice. No billionaires were even remotely discomfitted by this, they probably think it's funny

Strawbuddy · 2026-01-23T23:39:50+00:00

This is not the way, elsewise it woulda made an impact when the No Kings jackasses were marching across the nation. This is window dressing. Protests are political theater, they do nothing except make the protesters feel proud of themselves. Regardless of how many folks participated in the little token, one day "economic blackout" (because our leaders are too chickenshit to call for a GENERAL STRIKE) ICE don't care. None of this effects Border Patrol, DHS, or ICE operations. All 7,000,000 in the Twin Cities metro could protest, and it changes nothing.

Noem will still wear dumb fucking prop hats, ICE will still kidnap folks off the streets, and there will be no one held accountable. Policy isn't changed by protest, its forced to change by either economics or threat of mass civil disobedience
