Ha! I accept this honor from Canada (in the person of YOU, 11G). I’m a bit Canadian in fact: my umpty-ump Grandpère was Urbain Jetté, one of the young bucks from La Flèche, France who made up La Grande Recrue in 1653. A master mason, he and Catherine Charles had 19 kids while also starting Montreal!

I have to believe that not all ICE and BP are inhuman monsters, but this kind of sadistic action makes that very difficult. What kind of person would do this? If if was only because you were desperate for work, wouldn’t you help the kid move along? IT IS DEPRAVED.

I was there—completely encased in all the right garb, but after an hour, thought I would shatter into a zillion shards! Incredibly heartening, though…and when I got back to minnetonka, OUR NEIGHBORS were lining the 7& 101 intersection, waving signs and accepting honks and beeps!

Hey— assholes are necessary to life! JD V is not.

WE SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT! Just not yours, obviously.

I’m the one in the red hat and the striped scarf! Tho I was wore tights and wool socks & jeans and thermal top & a thick cashmere sweater & a giant down coat and down mittens, and faithful boots (good to -20F), after an hour I thought I was going to DIE! Didn’t, though, and WHAT an experience.

Hey, we didn’t kill off USAID for nuthin! Now we can afford to fund upgrades like 90s Marriott-style marble in the Lincoln Bedroom’s bathroom, and paramilitarizing ICE—see how beautifully it all balances out?

It’s a fan-fucking-TASTIC post! Thank you for your attention to these matters…which MATTER!

Apparently, his (and Trump’s) idea is that the Democrats should simply roll over and accept every word of the Republican plan…the plan which they refused to discuss at all with the Democrats. Trump even scheduled a meeting with Dem leadership to “discuss” it, then cancelled on them. Just bizarre.

Perfectly stated. And absolutely UNBELIEVABLE that Trump can make claims like those, and never be called on them by the press…but the daily flood of new horrors makes it impossible to stick with the previous nightmares.

THEY WILL NOT SUCCEED! If they actually *have* corgis, those corgis are preparing a jailbreak.

I bow to your anonymous judgment.

I’m starting to suspect that you don’t understand how journalism works, Mr. Kong. If you could take some time to listen to MPR right this minute, you could hear the latest reporting being collated from many sources. Where would you suggest I look instead?
June 14, 2025 at 5:54 PM
I trust Walz. I have no idea why you don’t. Where do you get the information you trust, since you don’t trust the Strib, MPR, the NYT or the Gov of MN? It doesn’t make much sense for you to berate me (and my ass) if you could be demonstrating better info.

It looks like a wooded suburban neighborhood, near a golf course—i haven’t seen any more other than that there’s a big manhunt underway.
June 14, 2025 at 5:43 PM
From the Strib:

When the officers confronted the person, they immediately fired on police and retreated back into the house after exchanging gunfire, Bruley said.
Bruley said police “believe confidently” the suspect fled out of the back of the house.

Dearest Bonger, I’ve enjoyed our
little chat, & I appreciate your kind remarks about my ass, of course! But I can assure you that I DID read. The articles I’ve linked, and they both include the sources quoted.

You might try listening to MPR, too.
June 14, 2025 at 5:33 PM
I suggest you read the articles. Then you’ll know what the sources are. You might also check Gov Walz’s Bluesky page.
