A 34 felony convictions man, who pardoned all the insurrectionist, is telling us he wants to go after the criminals and calls himself a "law and order" president.

I’m horrified by the shootings targeting Minnesota lawmakers, including Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman. Violence is never the answer. Never. I'm holding everyone affected by this attack in my heart.

This is a stunning act of violence. I’m thankful for all the law enforcement who are responding in real time. My prayers are with the Hortman and Hoffman families. Both legislators are close friends and devoted to their families and public service.

MINNESOTA: “Shelter in place order in a 3 mile radius… white male, black body armor…” The 2 Democratic lawmakers’ spouses were also shot.

Shortly after the Atlanta #nokings event kicked off at 10, organizers said Liberty Plaza near the state Capitol had already reached maximum capacity of 5,000.

America bestowed the light of democracy to the world by defeating King George - 250 years later, millions of Americans are okay with a tyrant on a golden throne wearing makeup and a wig crapping out hate tweets at 2AM.

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."

“If you throw a brick at one of our deputies we’re gonna be notifying your family of where to collect your remains because we will kill you, graveyard dead, we’re not gonna play.” - the Brevard County Sheriff, in a live press conference. These guys are foaming at the mouth to go full brownshirts.

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

📌BREAKING: A manhunt is underway after two Minnesota lawmakers were shot in their homes by a man impersonating a police officer. Governor Tim Walz said they were targeted. I say again: Be careful out there today people. Stick together.

I’ve activated the State Emergency Operations Center. Local law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park have the full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them. We are monitoring the situation closely and will share more information soon.

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it. It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

AOC: "They have released chaos in LA by violently raiding & ripping apart peaceful public spaces, and now they are tackling & arresting US sitting members of Congress, while going on the record & lying about what happened.

Rieckhoff: Trump, smartly—and maybe stupidly—chose to hit the military first. They’re using the military and the Pentagon as a test case for everything they want to do in America. And what I’d say is: if they can come after us, they can come after anyone.

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

Agreed

KINZINGER: “The thing that disturbed me more than anything was watching the soldiers cheering and booing at his speech. That was a failure of command.”

Two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot by a man impersonating a police officer. The suspect: a white male with brown hair, dressed like a cop. 📌 Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, along with their spouses, were shot in overnight attacks in Champlin and Brooklyn Park.

Daily Beast; A 25 year old former Fox & Friends producer is the one ordering the high ranking military officers around for the parade. Trump has reduced our once proud military to obsequious dancing chihuahuas.

The targeted shootings of Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman are deeply disturbing. Violence is never acceptable. Praying hard for the victims and all who have been affected.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Ran to Target for laundry detergent, saw about a dozen women in their 60s or thereabouts buying poster board and markers. I would have assumed they were teachers getting supplies until I remembered school's out and then it clicked.
