Maybe he'd like a purple heart?

What I wouldn't give to hear Dinning play those bass lines in person.

My heart is heavy. I do accept your point.

I don't disagree. I'm sure some of my trust in Walz and his team's instincts are copium. I'd love to see a genuine effort at avoiding actual rivers of blood though and that's what I think Walz has his priority set on.

Make no mistake the "purpleness" of this state will diffuse rapidly when MN smells a chance to do the thing. That Union Blue will become civilian wear. Walz knows this. It's not theoretical, real war can come from these next moves.

Possibly, but the first thing myself and every friend I know here in mn did after trump promised more trouble was check the mn national guard site to see if we were too old. We didn't talk about doing it, we ALL individually did that on the same night. It's a powder keg.

I mean, he was tossed a grenade that, should it explode, sparks civil war. I can understand trying to sit on it or call a bomb squad. I am confident his thinking is big-picture enough to understand this is ultimately a geopolitical situation with geopolitical consequences.

"But how did the 1st Minnesota capture a flag that wasn't there yet. Surely they were done. Surely the generals let those brave boys have a rest, kept them out of action for a day or two?"

Haha. Ha. No. Not hardly.

Day after this, the 1st MN helps turn back Pickett's Charge. Because fuck you.

I'm reading some pretty strong intent to move all news programming to the FOX model of staged news-related conversations that are just coded GOP talking points.

Bot says what?

Hey Wisconsin you have a good leader let's project that out to the country. Good counter example to Trump's cruelty.
