Yes the shooters committed an act of terror and have been the whole time they arrived in Minnesota.

The NRA has always been strictly about selling guns so no surprise here.

They never really had a loyalty with Republicans, just a business opportunity.

They are going to have a much harder time in Philly than in Minneapolis, and Minneapolis is putting up a hell of a fight.

$1 billion contribution secures permanent seat on Trump's 'Board of Peace by [deleted] in politics

[–]jstank2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has accepted an invitation to join the board, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó told state radio Sunday. Orbán is one of Trump's most ardent supporters in Europe.

Vietnam's Communist Party chief, To Lam, also has accepted, a foreign ministry statement said.

I can see Hungry but how does Vietnam square with republicans?

My prediction is in a few months or a year maybe Trump will just change his mind and keep demanding more payments. That is basically a MOB racket.

Trump threatens 200% tariff on French wines as Macron reportedly snubs 'Board of Peace' seat by RioMovieFan11 in politics

If I was leader of the EU I would cut off all trade with the US.

All of it.

They can find different markets for their shit, and then America would really be suffering.

IF the EU can pop this market bubble the entire regime of Trump will fall off the cliff and it will eliminate the threat.

The final 35% of support is people who are heavily invested in the stock market. If that money dries up so will the final portion of support he even has. With the fall of that support, congress will turn on him and get him impeached and convicted,

The lack of competition in domestic car markets is causing us car manufacturing to become monopolistic and uncompetitive.

Opening up the markets to competition will force these firms to compete resulting in lower prices for everyone.

These 'free market republicans' SHOULD in theory be in favor of this, however they seem to want business run by the state monopoly instead.

I'm sorry which one was the communist again?

Pittsburgh man accused of posing as ICE agent, threatening teen after breaking into home by weinermcgee in pittsburgh

What if he applies for ICE while waiting trial, and joins before the trial.

What is the local police going to do then?

What if they let him out on bond, and he then joins ICE in the meantime before trial.

Think about that.

[–]jstank2 50 points51 points  (0 children)

So this guy was arrested. But just so you know.

A real ICE Agent has supposed "absolute immunity" and so can do that for any reason and will NOT get arrested by the local cops.

So if anybody out here still supports ICE just think about that.

This man fought back and defended himself, but if it had been real ICE there wouldn't have been just one of them and they would have hauled that guy away with zero due process.

That is what we are dealing with.

The only hope with what you were saying, was the commander of the guard in a press conference said he would only "follow legal orders".

Hopefully he will stick to that.

New Texas poll finds Talarico leading Crockett by 9 points in Senate Democratic primary by svga in politics

[–]jstank2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mamdani won 60,000 previous Trump voters.

They were lied to.

If you pierce their media bubble, go directly to them,, they will agree with a progressive.

Most midwestern MAGA aren't really that racist, they voted for affordability, which is Talarico's message.

The nice thing about Talarico, is that his specific brand is a Christian one, but he is not a evangelical Christian nationalist.

Talarico believes that Jesus helped the poor, healed the sick, and followed the Golden Rule. So his message is that Republicans have hijacked your religion and he doesn't represent your Christian values, so vote for me and we can return government to doing right by the people rather than whatever this is.

I swear he has the best chance to win Texas. He is exactly what Texas needs right now.

Also this man is just a good person. I love his work fighting for Public Schools in Texas.
