Thank duck for that!! Who's next....

Brown Shirt Guy? and yes that might possibly be a sneaky movie reference but I now see a cartoon reference so no not that one fucksake just when you think you've got something nice and uncomplicated, a simple namecheck for Blue Shirt Guy, bloody search engines I just had to spoil it by checking duck and it's not that twit dancing either

The Chief Brownshirt Guy.

If I'm correctly understanding what this will mean

Trump sends border czar Homan to Minneapolis, talks with Walz amid shooting scrutiny

Writing on Truth Social, Trump called the conversation "a very good call" and said Walz was "happy" about Homan's trip to Minnesota.

CNN says "Homan is expected to manage ICE operation in Minnesota, according to the White House. It was not immediately clear how Bovino’s role would change going forward."

where have you seen this?

On BBC news website, Trump is sending his border czar to Minnesota. Kristy is saying she supports this but I’m surmising it’s just a matter of time. I suppose I could be wrong but can’t see her lasting with this .

Everyone should read this article. A really good rundown of what's happening/what it feel like to the people of MN. (gift link, so shouldn't be hidden behind a paywall)

Welcome to the American Winter

In the frozen streets of Minneapolis, something profound is happening.

All the talk of numbers...



Something else I was wondering about - Minnesota is apparently a net contributor to the Federal budget so how does that fit with the 20 billion of fraud that keeps getting mentioned - is this a separate budget/accounting stream or is Minnesota's net contribution *despite* all that apparent fraud?

I wasnt sure whether to laugh or love that post, stop that fandaglin' research it'll only get you into trouble, or reveal it....

'Homan was the subject of a federal bribery investigation after reportedly being recorded accepting a paper bag with $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents in September 2024.'

Easy for me I suppose, I ended up just wanting to cry

For those still at the WTF stage it started with *this* (the One True) Blue Shirt Guy

imdb : Free Guy (2021)

This is heartbreaking

edit: just to add I’ve just seen some comments saying this was Trumps first term. Though I can’t imagine it’s any different now

I thought Bad Bunny was doing the Super Bowl and the MAGA lot had already lost their tit over it as he performs in Spanish?

Edited to add: I see Green Day are doing it also. They are already outspokenly anti MAGA

Is there not an 'alternative' Christian music led halftime concert happening?
I think it's at a venue separate from the stadium and organised by Forest Frank and other Christian music artists.
It was promoted as Bad Bunny is not American...according to MAGA supporters.

Yes, geography is not their strong point.

Apparently Bad Bunny has said he is going to make his performance super gay as a tribute to the LGBTQ+ population. I’ve never really heard any of his music, I did see him in Bullet Train, but the more I read about him trolling the MAGA crowd, the more I like him

All the stuff about Alex Pretti having a loaded gun, don't let stuff that people didn't say distract you...

Fact Check: Fake Trump Post Image About 'Only Criminals' Carrying 'Guns On Our Streets' NOT Actual Truth Social Post After Minneapolis Shooting

Did President Trump post on Truth Social that "HE HAD A GUN, ONLY CRIMINALS CARRY GUNS ON OUR STREETS, WE NEED LAW AND ORDER" as a viral screenshot claims? No, that's not true: The image, which also c...

www.yahoo.com

... from what they did actually say and how they said it - noting that Trump's post about it (the one with pic of non evidence bagged gun, what would be the proper procedure) said
" This is the gunman’s gun, loaded (with two additional full magazines!), and ready to go – What is that all about?"
suggesting there's something inherently suspicious about that, clear implication that this was not someone licenced to carry, just carrying like they would on a regular basis, maybe even all the time.

This is behind a pay wall so I’ve screenshot it. I’m scared about how far this is going to go. We have plenty of morons here chomping at the bit.

The clip is from during his first term. Unfortunately, I imagine it might even be worse now.

The kind-of good news for us is that what's happening in America is a demonstration of where these types of policies and this type of rhetoric gets us, so it will hopefully be more difficult for people to support here.

 

[miss n thropy]

Trump hasn’t said so but he is sending his border Tsar there to run the operation and look into things. Krusty has said she supports this, but he is a long time rival of hers and she won’t be running the show.

In other news apparently Donnie has agreed to an investigation and to withdraw some ICE officers.

The shooter though has been redeployed according to some sources but is still active. Unbelievable if so

The boy/man Joseph Boam iirc Reform brought in as MP when he was 19 for Leicester and then had to sack was posting 'I support Ice' today. It's important one keep an eye on such matters. Make friends with your neighbours, know who is who and who you trust.
