Sen. Tommy Tuberville: "It all goes back to the 2020 election. They cheated the heck out of President Trump. They cheated some senators. There's people that are up here in the Senate and House right now that got in because the ballot boxes were stuffed."
Tuberville is a real son of a bitch.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Would really love some examples of “real” Americans’ lives being materially improved by deporting immigrants. Not making racists feel better, but improving actual lives.
I want my tax dollars making things better and it’s the government‘s job to communicate how it’s doing that.

UPDATE: Minnesota Department of Corrections puts out a statement refuting Bovino’s lies about the man they say they were arresting before they killed Alex Pretti.

This evil dick dribble is saying he's judge, jury, and executioner and fuck you if you think anyone should have due process.
Bovino: "Choosing or making a choice is one of the only true freedoms any of us really have ... when as a politician you choose collusion & corruption as a choice, then there are consequences and actions that take place because of that. That's one reason CBP & ICE are here in Mpls by the thousands."

"The right to 'bear arms' refers to the right to wear, bear, or carry . . . upon the person or in the clothing or in a pocket, for the purpose . . . of being armed and ready for offensive or defensive action in a case of conflict with another person." --Justice Thomas
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

So Kyle Rittenhouse, who attended a protest armed with a loaded assault rifle and killed 2 people is a right-wing hero.
But Alex Pretti who had a holstered, permitted handgun, was recording ICE, and tried to help a pepper-sprayed woman deserved to die?
No one is buying this BS.
