Happy to be back in Minnesota! It feels like it’s time to get another “comfort dog!”
I stand with DC and Chicago and Portland and LA and whatever Democratic led city they target next!

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Denmark sets up ‘night watch’ to monitor Trump since Greenland row
US president’s threat to seize territory prompts intelligence briefings reminiscent of Game of Thrones patrol
The Danish government has set up a “night watch” in the foreign ministry, not to keep out the wildlings and White Walkers like the Night’s Watch of Game of Thrones, but rather to monitor Donald Trump’s pronouncements and movements while Copenhagen sleeps.
The night watch starts at 5pm each day and at 7am a report is produced and distributed around the Danish government and relevant departments about what was said and took place, the Politiken newspaper reported. Continue reading...

Opponents also warn that deregulation, just two years after the collapse of several mid-sized US lenders, could encourage excessive risk-taking by banks, expose their customers to more wrongdoing and losses, and even lay the groundwork for the next financial meltdown.

Just a reminder:
The night Epstein "committed suicide".

-The guards "fell asleep" and failed to complete more than 75 mandatory checks on him.
-The cameras monitoring him "stopped working"
-Prosecuting the guards was "deferred"

Prediction: Some will seize on the shooting to try to pull Dems back to a position of cowardice on Trump's deportations, and Stephen Miller will scam dimwit commentators into making this case as well, but what happened ultimately won't dent public disapproval of the raids/arrests in the slightest.
