Minnesota has been shaken to its core by political violence this year. We know first hand that rhetoric like this has real life consequences.
Everyone should call this out for what it is - the sitting president calling for deaths of Members of Congress. This is what dictators do.

a strong belief i have is that it is ok to occasionally be wrong about things, even in public, as long as you're open to changing your mind in the face of compelling arguments or evidence. but i could be wrong about that

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Rollover car crash drama in front of my house yesterday afternoon. Everyone was okay.
Very predictable given the weird lane configuration during a construction project. The northbound lane is closed but cross traffic doesn't realize the southbound lane is still open.
