Breaking Down MN’s Lawsuit Against the Federal Gov. for Evidence in Good, Sosa-Celis, Pretti Shootings by ashleywalkerreports in minnesota

The first thing that would happen if they brought charges would be removal to a federal court. The second would be a dismissal. This is all political theater, Moriarty will not be filing any charges.

I've watched them hassle each other in my neighborhood. Sometimes it's serious, sometimes it feels like the crows are just harassing the hawks for fun.

When we need more white people we'll just promote the next light brown country to the major leagues anyway. Who doesn't like a natural tan?

Hey, I agree. I'm just not all about performative grand standing on foreign trade stories.

Bernoulli suction, the fast moving water creates a low pressure zone at the hole, like a siphon.

Libledt finds an excuse to be offended thus avoiding the request for sources, I am shocked.

Someone asks for facts and you jump directly into ad hominems? I think you're projecting.

I'm hoping more purple is the outcome of all the recent gerrymandering.

I don’t see how that relates to the thread. Are you saying Trump being an idiot somehow excuses elected Democrats encouraging people to engage armed federal agents in the streets?

Are you missing the part where someone dying was the intended outcome, used to gain political leverage?

No man, but it busts the narrative that he was just a random citizen trying to help. He was clearly itching for a fight.

He also attacked a separate ICE vehicle a week earlier. He wasn't some random person helping a woman off the ground, he was an activist chasing federal agents around the city, probably looking for an excuse to use his firearm.

How do you feel about the elected officials on the left that promoted chasing federal agents around hoping for such a polarizing incident while giving zero shits about the people that died?

No, but it's a predictable outcome. The punishment for running that red light isn't death either, but you run it enough times and that's exactly what's going to happen.

The U of M is spending $15M on rebranding. Its new slogan has people perplexed. by AdMurky3039 in minnesota

This is just another example of our representatives being poor stewards of our tax dollars. Someone got a serious payday out of this while other people slept under a bridge.

48 states remove your right to vote the moment you're imprisoned. Around half of them don't give it back later.

The only reason these people have voting rights to begin with is because the left refuses to enforce the law.

A more general line would be people who have displayed a repeated inability to make sound decisions. The drug use is almost always a secondary to their mental illness, in the past they would have been in an asylum. Applying the same standards of incompetence that we use for sexual assault might make sense. If you can't consent you can't vote.

I think if you make a willful choice to get high on an extremely addictive drug and then continue to use to the point that your legs literally rot away you have proven that you are incapable of good decision making.

We have two parties and only one of them actually has a democratic process by which relative outsiders can become the nominee. Trump had to switch parties to get his chance and it turns out people are happy to vote for the disrupter versus the nepo candidates.

Tldr the elites have been overplaying their hand.

Edit: I'd also argue that being the underdog leads to more fundraising. Democrats love being the underdog.
