Watching trying-too-hard erstwhile conservative 2A advocates get ratioed harder than O.J. when he vowed to find Nicole's killers.

Minnesota - what happens when you hitch your bandwagon to a train that derails? The wheels are coming off this thing in real time and it’s all saved on the internet for posterity.

We don't require a video. We have an official statement from DHS which has not been disproven.

Letterman should probably lay low for the next few weeks just to be safe.

I hope people are paying attention attention - not just because Trump had to rescind a bad idea within days of its implementation, but because the right wing echo chamber was filled this morning with apologists who were minimizing its impact, and who now look like dupes.

Both parties are experiencing a dearth of independent thinkers. No one is willing to step up and call out a bad idea. The risks of being pilloried by their own partisan mob are worse than looking stupid to the electorate - or to history. That suggests more bad things to come.

In the Supreme Court hearing going on right now about the special election in 40B, the lawyer for Republicans just claimed that 40B became vacant "when the House passed its resolution yesterday." Which means they think there were 134 members when they claimed quorum was 67.

First GOP claimed that a quorum is 67 because there are only 133 members (40B being vacant). But then their FIRST ACT was to declare a vacancy in 40B, which by their logic should mean that there were 134 members when the "elected" a Speaker, making quorum 68.

St. Paul is going to spend $100,000 trying to figure out if its new rent control ordinance is behind a slump in new construction. Hopefully, they can get to the bottom of this mystery.

They should have a new election in Scott County. Without Trump on the ballot, Tabke will take it easily. And then the GOP can stop complaining that the only reason they haven’t won the state in 18 years is because of cheating and not their own bad ideas. mprnews.org/story/2024/11/27…
Scott County official says 20 absentee ballots in close House race were likely tossed

Scott County official says 20 absentee ballots in close House race were likely tossed

The missing ballots are at the heart of a court challenge from Minnesota House Republicans who have said a 14-vote win for a DFLer there is clouded. The race will dictate House control.

The most successful politician is he who says what the people are thinking most often in the loudest voice. (Teddy Roosevelt). Social media in the last 36 hours has shown that most politicians think "the people" only means their people. I hope more begin to speak for America.

To receive these from a fellow infantryman for whom you're fighting on an important matter in his life is an honor beyond description.

Had a successful hearing for a client today. He brought me these in gratitude. If you know, you know.

Welcome back, Mickey's Diner! Our iconic neighbor has been closed a long time. But the "OPEN" sign got turned on this morning for a soft re-opening. Breakfast is served!

St. Paul applied for federal funding that doesn't cover fire trucks for their purchase of a $1.8 million electric rig. Unsurprisingly, they didn't get it. Also, the truck salesman has taken the fire chief to Wild games 'as a friend' minnesotareformer.com/2024/0… via @MNReformer
