    Holy crap could this be a republican who isn’t a complete pile of…

    Madel emphasized that he supports Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “originally stated goals” in their Operation Metro Surge in his state. He argued, though, that the operation “has expanded far beyond its stated focus on true public safety threats.”

    Oh. Well…. Baby steps, I guess?

    argued that “the national Republicans have made it nearly impossible for a Republican to win a statewide election in Minnesota.”

    let’s expand that. Republicans should be able to win anything forever after what they have done and are doing.

      Republicans should never have won anything after war criminal W.

      Republicans should never have won anything after Trump 1 and January 6th.

      I don’t know how November will turn out, but anything but a blue MONSTER TSUNAMI and we are well and truly past the point of no return.

          Yes exactly!

          Hey if the States with less people need money or whatever, that’s why they’re United States. Let’s help them out! But screw this “my vote is 10 times or 100 times your vote” crap. 1 person, 1 vote. And that should include voting for everything… Yeah you can vote to fix a bridge by paying for that bridge from your taxes but when it comes to electing the one guy who will represent you for international community stuff you have no vote on that? That’s retarded. Neither the electorate nor the president have any special kind of education over our collective. So there’s no need to have some rando collect 100 of our votes just to turn it into shit. What they want is to always be only Republican or Democrat. What I want as citizen is first of all to not get murdered. Secondly I want to be nice to our own people and to our neighbors and to the god damn planet! It’s the only ball of dirt where we can live remember? Hopefully we will be around far beyond this one asshole. So why let a crazy asshole get away with anything. We should be short handed. Like a fucking F-16 pilot doesn’t get to fly if he fucks up one plane even if he had an accident. This dude is crashing the entire nation. We only have one of those!

            my vote is 10 times or 100 times your vote

            This is it. The initial premises no longer work. We have the Internet. We have so much advancement that renders the original premises useless.

            At this point we have massive numbers of poorly educated rural people making decisions for us. The people we may have once protected are now running us, and that is remarkably stupid.

            Every citizen votes equally fuck what size city they are in.

    Earlier this month, Madel said he helped ICE officer Jonathan Ross with paperwork to get Justice Department legal representation if he is sued or charged with a crime. Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good earlier this month, sparking a surge of protests.

    Seriously? Goddamn, dude.
