I hope he is rethinking his call for democrats to get meaner and is reconsidering his characterization of ICE as the Gestapo.

The president said, today, that protesters would be met with strong force. He’s made too many inflammatory comments to count. You don’t get to clutch your pearls.

He said that yesterday, in regard to the parade today. He warned protesters that they better not try disrupting the parade.
He's right. Protesters at the parade will be met with great force since they don't belong there - that is not the purpose of this event.

Not how protest works. Protests belong EXACTLY where they are not wanted. That's what makes it protest. Imagine if sit-ins had just happened at the local park or church rather than at the literal lunch counters that refused to serve Black people.

You can’t argue with these crybabies. The protests were overwhelmingly successful and the birthday party was as sad as any he had as a child. Now we know that it was a maga domestic terrorist that assassinated two good and duly elected people. Loser are mad about losing.

Sums it up nicely

No idea if this is true. There is all sorts of stuff floating around, but that would explain where he got the vehicle.

Are you saying that they are FBI? Or part of a different policing organization?

They have/had a security company called Praetorian Guard.

Agree. It’s like the Trump shooter. Can’t be pinned into a particular political box.

Oh?

And this business, and his marriage, are going so well that apparently he sleeps in an apartment with roommates several nights a week for his second job: transporting bodies to the morgue.

Screams upstanding citizen right there!

Why don’t you post a link to prove that the person who did this was a “crazy right wing gun nut.”

Minnesota authorities have released several photographs of the suspected gunman, including him wearing a Halloween-type mask during the shootings.

A chilling 'manifesto' listing nearly 70 names was discovered inside the suspect's vehicle - which appeared to be disguised to resemble a police car - along with flyers for the anti-Trump 'NO KINGS' nationwide rallies.

Nope, registered republican

Yet was somehow politically appointed by Tim Waltz

Says someone with zero experience in State government and no idea how many nonpartisan Board and Commissions there are in a well run state (plus more at the county and city level) or how little power most have I mean— in VA, I think elect the local Soil and Water Commissioner— and I can’t remember their name? Let alone the names of everyone they County Commissioner appoints to appointed to their Commission.

I was a municipal lawyer. I have seen this in action. 90% of it is performative BS. Do you want to be on the “agriculture,” “small business,” “AI,” “vaccine,” “k-12 math standards,” “licensing board” for massage therapists, nail technicians, hair stylists (not to mention doctors, nurses, psychologists, lawyers, plus 10-15 sub-specialties lawyers can pursue to put on their business card— and a other zillion professions), “emergency response,” “school nutrition,” “rural hospital,” etc etc Commission? Volunteer and pass a very pro forma check (now this guy should have been screened out). A few, like the medical and legal licensing boards are kinda prestigious and might require your peers to elect you. But mostly, you are working for free (or well below minimum wage) so the state can say that they are meeting a statutory requirement that the Board exist, meet and report. So, you meet a few time. Generate ideas. And most of the time they are ignored.

They *always* need people to sit on state and local commissions, committees, boards, etc. it’s an unpaid time suck that generally accomplishes nothing. And some states need thousands of people across state and local government. In return, you get to advertise that you are on the “invasive species prevention committee,” which could get you business with local farmers. But you have no power.

In a purple state like Minnesota, people are appointed based on expressing interest (or the committee chair calling in favors to get a quorum) and having some tangential relationship to the Subject of the Board or Commission, and not their political party. I was counsel to the “water and sewer commission” ans a registered Democrat in a very red county. No one cared. It’s only been recently that MAGA makes everything a loyalty test, rather than focusing on good governance. The rest of us want pediatricians and research scientists on the vaccine board, successful small businessmen on the small business committee. And Moms for Liberty nowhere near our math standards.

Anyway, I 100% guarantee you that while Walz may have signed a paper appointing him to a Commission, he never met this guy in person, has no idea what he looks like, and would look at you blankly if you said his name. Because he’s a nobody, with no power, filling a role so he can put it in his resume.

Not looking good for you MAGA apologists. He’s one of you- as we told you he was. You suck and this is on you.

You’re confused. Talking about these things in unvarnished language may be “mean,” but it is peaceful discourse. Kidnapping people off the street is both mean and not peaceful discourse.

I hope that clears it up.

Have any MAGA/GOP said anything, and I don’t mean that weak @ss thing from the felon that couldn’t even bother to show sympathy or name them. Gross.

Funny how this thread has gone quiet now that the killer being a MAGA is confirmed.

I suppose he was a "good guy with a gun" until the moment he wasn't anymore.
