Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop?

What a stupid WAPO headline. It’s not about a narrative. It’s about the Trump administration lying about an execution, which was videotaped by dozens of people and shows what happened.
Enough of bending over backwards for “both sides” of the story. Do better @wapotechguild.bsky.social

You learned something new every day. The point still remains
The Vikings are the 800-pound gorilla in the room, aren’t they? They could request that Mr. Paul be removed.
Or do I misunderstand the power dynamic.

Hey MAGA:
You guys said that Democrats were going after your 2A rights.
Last I checked, Trump, Noem, Patel, & Bovino are Republicans.
That tyrannical government you talked about is here.

Trump administration goes after Second Amendment rights in justifying Minneapolis shooting
A number of pro-gun rights Republicans pushed back on the administration's argument that Alex Pretti was dangerous because he had a gun. Pretti was legally licensed to carry one.

Minnesota Vikings need to fire Paul Allen. I’ve been a Vikings fan since the Purple People Eaters but no more if the team keeps him.
That was no one-liner. That’s what he thinks. People are dying in the streets and he thinks they’re getting paid. What a stupid man.

None of my boomer friends have become more conservative. Of course I might’ve stopped being friends with them a while ago because I didn’t care for their conversation, but I don’t think so.

This is long but worth watching because the economic news for the USA is not good. Canada played the tariff debacle well and has come out the winner. Good work, Trump! You sabotaged the car industry here and GM and Ford are in serious trouble.

5 Agents feared for their lives after they disarmed one man while he was on the ground— so they shot him in the back.

The military will not turn against the president. It’s too imbedded in their training and DNA to follow orders.
The top guys will resign rather than disobey an order.
Completely unpredictable? YES except it’s going to get worse.
