This guy really failed upward. It's almost like each scandal canceled the previous and we forgot about the 'fbi handed this guy $50k in a paper bag as a bribery probe and totally failed to follow up on it' thing.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Working at the office today (with people I exclusively don't actually work *with*) and everybody on my row of desks is on a call with somebody else who also doesn't work at this location. I can't think because of all the chatter.

My cockamamie working theory is any politician who tried to use the moment of The Plague and The Uprising to move society towards a more generous and kind ethos is now tainted because they failed to accommodate the bone deep fear and trauma of that moment.
I will miss Timothy J when he goes. For a brief shining moment in my life I was *this* close to being able to say “I stole a diet Mountain Dew from the Vice President.”

Every single Minnesota news outlet should be shoving microphones into the faces of Demuth, Robbins, Lindell, everyone else running for governor, and every MNGOPer licking trumps ass to ask if they agree with this shit. It’s time we know.
Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated.
This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

Disgusted by him and everyone who keeps on looking the other way when he does things like this.
He has found a new, crazy irresponsible and dangerous low point.
