A Republic, If You Can Keep It

Two Minnesota state representatives, both Democrats, were shot in their homes last night. Both are currently in “grave condition”.

Apparently, Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband are dead; no word yet on Sen John Hoffman or his wife. Apparently one of them had a family dog that was shot too.

This is Terminator stuff.

Police have learned that the shooter planned to attack “No Kings” protests in Minnesota.

He left a to do list in his fake police car, just like all criminal masterminds.

Given the way the propaganda outlets these people consume as media lie constantly, I’m surprised this sort of thing isn’t a near every day occurrence. Maybe it will be soon.

Also, cops show up to do a wellness check on the victim (how did they know to go straight to that house?), the killer is there, fresh from killing, Twin Cities area police, who are notorious for their even handed ways, give a cheerful wave to the fellow as he literally runs away.

I wonder if the media is going to make the bunny hop of logic from a psycho pretending to be police in order murder politicians to why it’s a serious problem that ICE agents use unmarked mini vans, face coverings and refuse to show ID when they snatch people out of a car at a stop light.

Yup,
they will say that left leaners did it to their own to make it look like it was an act of MAGATS.
Trump will certainly not let this ruin HIS day. I can’t wait for his comment…if he even offers one.

He’ll blame the victims for provoking the shooter with their ceaseless attempts to ruin the nation.

Not really. The first time someone shoots an “ICE agent” identified only by tactical gear you can buy for $20 on Amazon - and then is immediately gunned down like Bonnie and Clyde along with everyone else in range - the media will wonder why they didn’t just comply.

maybe for a split second

In a bit of good news today, the cult leader has ordered his ICE goons to halt raids on the agriculture, restaurant and hotel industries. Can’t wait to see whether the maga cult rises up in righteous fury or engages in mind numbing mental gymnastics to justify the decision.

It was the right thing to do. It was too heavy handed. It was poorly executed. Should have had a more compassionate plan for dealing with humans. Just some things you won’t hear the cult saying.

Texas Capitol evacuated after “credible” threats made against Democratic lawmakers

Huge “No Kings” demonstration in my little beach town. I expected a couple of hundred and there are over three thousand.

Nice. I wanted to go to the one in Fredericksburg but I got busy doing yard/garden work this morning while the weather was nice

Reports of two separate incidents - one in San Francisco and the other in Culpepper, Virginia - where a psycho drove a car into No Kings protesters. Both drivers arrested and both drivers believed to have accelerated intentionally into the crowds. Multiple injuries reported but no deaths.

Looking forward to the “both sides need to cool the rhetoric” shit that will inevitably follow.

Don’t know when this footage was taken, but I suspect a ketchupnado is brewing.

So this parade cost the American taxpayers what…$1 million per attendee?
