He has this nasty habit of saying all the horrible things he wants his audience to believe, then rationally, kinda, sorta walking it all back to we don’t really know — much as Tucker Carlson is just asking the question. A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can put on its shoes.

Wow. Something bad happened. Not for me to say just what that was, and folks will disagree, but let’s not split hairs. The most important thing is that I say something profound without upsetting the people who write my paycheck.

NYT has some info about the shootings in Portland. Same DHS spokeslady sez they shot into the car of a member of Tren de Aragua … but strangely the officers involved just drove away from scene. The man and woman shot were found in their car as they headed towards a hospital. Still alive…

I remember that, when the IDS tower was built in MPLS near the landmark Foshay Tower, a famous cartoon showed the blocky IDS as a box for the Foshay gift. As the city grew around them, the proportions were less awkward. But I don’t think that will work for White House. It will be a lumpen eyesore.

I love how he can become so reasonable about what he ‘can’t know’ — right after calling her a Domestic terrorist in the pay of leftwing conspirators. But hey, let’s not get ahead of the facts, you silly media sheeple!

We are in trouble

And yet no one asks about Ashli Babbit

I love the idea that nobody could possibly oppose this regime unless they were paid to do so by some deep pocketed left wing cabal determined to bring down the government. I mean, can you think of a single reason other than a paycheck? The way their minds work is appalling.

As long as he’s got us all riled about this (which is perfectly reasonable) we’re not paying attention to Venezuela, the Epstein Files, pardons for sale, Greenland, vaccinations, Ukraine, Gaza, grift…oh I could go on forever. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. But they’re making it so hard.

Yeah, with flash floods and wildfires I think we’re square!

What I love most is how the rightwing pundits got all smarmy about Frey & Walz being hasty, making judgments ahead of the facts— while Noem & truwp had already announced that a domestic terrorist had weaponized her vehicle & put a brave ICE officer in the hospital. Ahead of (contrary to) the facts.

It is so sinister that people stand up for human rights and basic freedoms. The deep state is right here on the quiet side streets of Minneapolis. When so many people all agree that what the govt is doing is wrong, it must be a conspiracy with paid agitators. You keep telling yourself that, truwp.

This is the moment. We are expected to capitulate to federal forces who can do what they like while we avert our eyes & comply fully. If we watch, videotape, comment, complain or — heaven forfend— drive a car near them, they can kill us & brand us domestic terrorists. Is this the price of freedom?

Noem throws out ‘statistics’ about criminal aliens let loose in Minneapolis. They want you to think it’s the Wild West out here & her poor little ICE agents are huddling in snowbanks, the last bastion of civilization. Meanwhile, if you’d just look at the video you’d see we’re pretty normal.

Whenever policing oversteps there are those who reassure themselves that victims brought it on themselves. They were in the wrong place.
They shouldn’t have interfered. They must have done something. The message here is close your eyes and turn your back. They don’t want you watching. Will it work?

It’s actually not a bad idea— which pretty much guarantees it’ll never happen

The way he disputed the facts as presented by Ms. Noem was to call them (ahem) ‘bullshit.’

Even if truwp’s assessment is 100% correct, it still offers no explanation for firing into the car other than the whole situation royally ticked off that ICE agent. Homan warned us that if we kept interfering there would be blood. He ought to know just how professional
& level headed his horde is.

Sounds like a really good reason to cooperate. After all, haven’t you fellas been bellyaching that the rest of the world isn’t stepping up enough in terms of defense? If we just annex it all that will leave us to pay for it all on our lonesome.
