It’s simple.
The progressive left forced Biden to open the border and fck the country.
Somalis defrauded us in Minny.
The gov and mayor are progressives in Minny.
Trump retaliated with an outsized Ice presence because of the foregoing.
Not because Minny has a larger immigration problem. Because it’s run by Walz and Somalis scammed us.
Politics. Now we’re at an impasse.

The Somalis were a small part of a huge scandal. Lots of people scammed Minnesota. Somalis were simply involved. The idea that this is a Somali problem is not only incorrect, it also points to why this has people up in arms. FURRNERS.
Again, MAGA is a nativist movement. I can't repeat myself enough on this.
@sharinincarmel conservatism used to have principles it stood for. If you are saying it has abandoned its principles, sure,I get that. But your Colorado ally claims the GOP hasn't moved an iota.
@arthur-dent Arthur I don’t think it’s humanly possible for someone to be as out of touch as you. Both parties play by new rules. And don’t take offense. That you’re this out of touch isn’t a good sign for the country. Both sides have long abandoned their values
@goat shutting down roads with dumpsters hauled into intersections. Stopping randos and forcing them to prove they aren’t ICE (just because they’re dudes driving minivans or trucks/SUVs).
the antifa antics with smoke bombs and fireworks directed at not just ICE but also local law enforcement when they do get around to showing up.
And as much as I detest the methods used by ICE there haven’t been many casies of apprehensions where the party apprehended wasn’t illegal. I could be wrong but I think it would be all over the mainstream media if it were the case.
I do think the feds continuing with the “we’re just targeting the worst of the worst” is bullshit. They’re targeting the lowest hanging fruit for numbers. People don’t like that. I get it. Maybe I don’t either. But taking to the streets in conflict with that enforcement activity was always going to end one way. In escalation.
@larsiu There are better ways to resist. Fighting ICE isn’t it. PR. Stories about families in the community. The need for streamlined citizenship. Etc.
Wrong. Minneapolis is an outlier because of Walz and Fry, not because of Trump and ICE. ICE is pretty much the same all over the country. Minnesota and Minneapolis are different. And your bullshit and invective argument applies in equal force to elected officials who use terms like Nazi and Gestapo to describe federal law enforcement officers.

#1 - voting.
but our politics are so polarized that for the last nine years it’s been a pendulum swing back and forth.
2017-2021 - Don’t let illegals in!! Build that wall!!
2021-2025- Fuck that wall!! Nobody’s illegal on stolen land!!
2025-?? - Round em up!! Boot em out!!
goddamn country can’t agree on much other than fuck the damn patriot douchebags being in another Super Bowl.
Values are situational. The Clinton and first Obama administrations were all about stopping illegal immigration. Now, not at all.

And their lone TD was a gift while the Denver brain trust eschewed an easy FG.
We need to turn down the heat. We’re headed towards something we really don’t want to contemplate - federal officers firing on unarmed civilians - think Kent State - and organized resistance ambushing and killing ICE agents. This cannot end well.
A lot of mistakes and a lot of blame to go round. There are no innocent players in this. I don’t give a fuck what “side” you’re on, everyone is guilty. ICE should stand down when anything dangerous appears, unless someone is absolutely and unequivocally presenting deadly force. Protesters should stand on the sidelines, bearing civil witness, and not ever interfere with law enforcement. The metropolitan police and state troopers should control the middle. Politicians on both sides should shut their damn mouths and stop fanning the flames.
I don’t know how we get there, but I have an idea. Get the “most respected” liberal and conservative to jointly make a national, prime time speech and then go to Minneapolis and walk down the streets and talk to the nation. Here’s where you’ll laugh at who I propose - Barack Obama and George Bush. I, like many, can’t stand Obama. but does he have gravitas? I’d grade him pretty highly. Others think Bush a fool and a dullard. But I rate him up there as well when the chips are down. Your mileage may vary when it comes to these two, but who would be better? Everyone else is too far down the Bozo road.
Appeal to Walz, Frey, Ellison and the other crazies to turn down the fucking stupidity and inflammatory rhetoric. Appeal to Trump, Noem, et al, to fall back. Appeal to the nation to cool it. The media - and I mean all of it, from all sides - stops the galactic gaslighting.
Americans want a secure border. Americans want illegal aliens who are rapists, murderers, thieves removed from our country. No more Laken Rileys and Rachel Morins. No more illegals with CDLs killing people on our highways. No more scammers. No more Renee Goodes and Alex Prettis.
We’re headed for a cliff. We don’t have to hit the accelerator.
Can anyone here play this game?
@univee2 👍👍. Agree with all but Obama and Bush. People don’t care about them. Send JD and AOC? I don’t know. But current types

It would have to be someone like Obama & Bush. The current pols are too dug in & don’t want what U2 is proposing. AOC doesn’t want ICE to be able to do their job & Vance doesn’t want his agents to have to stand down & cave in to these miscreants.

When you say Somalis are a “small part” - how are you coming to this conclusion & what/who constitutes a large part?
