Apparently, his (and Trump’s) idea is that the Democrats should simply roll over and accept every word of the Republican plan…the plan which they refused to discuss at all with the Democrats. Trump even scheduled a meeting with Dem leadership to “discuss” it, then cancelled on them. Just bizarre.

Perfectly stated. And absolutely UNBELIEVABLE that Trump can make claims like those, and never be called on them by the press…but the daily flood of new horrors makes it impossible to stick with the previous nightmares.

I’m starting to suspect that you don’t understand how journalism works, Mr. Kong. If you could take some time to listen to MPR right this minute, you could hear the latest reporting being collated from many sources. Where would you suggest I look instead?

I trust Walz. I have no idea why you don’t. Where do you get the information you trust, since you don’t trust the Strib, MPR, the NYT or the Gov of MN? It doesn’t make much sense for you to berate me (and my ass) if you could be demonstrating better info.

It looks like a wooded suburban neighborhood, near a golf course—i haven’t seen any more other than that there’s a big manhunt underway.

From the Strib:
When the officers confronted the person, they immediately fired on police and retreated back into the house after exchanging gunfire, Bruley said.
Bruley said police “believe confidently” the suspect fled out of the back of the house.

Dearest Bonger, I’ve enjoyed our
little chat, & I appreciate your kind remarks about my ass, of course! But I can assure you that I DID read. The articles I’ve linked, and they both include the sources quoted.
You might try listening to MPR, too.

I suggest you read the articles. Then you’ll know what the sources are. You might also check Gov Walz’s Bluesky page.

As you can see in both of those extensive reports, the BCA and FBI are involved as well as lots of metro cops. I first saw the news in a notification from the NYT. Perhaps you have more reliable sources.

Someone who’s got a “manifesto” and long list of further politician targets in his car, plus “No Kings” signs, AND is fleeing the cops on foot after just assassinating 2 and shooting 2 more, is probably not thinking clearly about “risk” right now. There are LOTS of protests sched all over the metro.

Yes, but…the (White guy w brown hair😐) murderer is dressed AS law enforcement. Full body armor, taser etc over blue shirt and pants. The cops who confronted him at the Hoffman home said anyone would assume he was a police officer. The SUV he’d parked there looked like a police vehicle.

The murderer’s car contained “No Kings” signs— it looks like he had (or HAS) plans to show up at one of the many rallies.
