Minnesotans didn't vote for this. Especially the twin cities. Just because a guy barely wins an election with not a majority of the votes does not mean America voted for this. Less than half of America voted for this.

Because it's the state that they're sending the most uncontrollable barely trained officers to with orders to cause chaos in order to provoke the citizens into civil unrest.

Who are the "us" you speak of?

the unhappy Minnesotans, for one group...

What would a subject know of 2A and rights not granted by a king?

I do not trust any political figure when it comes to any of our constitutional rights. Anyone who does, is well……

Important to note the Who COMMIT CROMES

I like it when our "quiet for 15 years" friend said that ICE is going to get "60 billion" this year but gee whiz ICE's budget in FY2024 (the actual budget the federal government is still operating under because the "compromise" for FY 2025 was a full year CR which was still using FY 2024's budget) was about 10 billion. Although, I admit I have not looked to see if the BBB greatly added a bunch more money to ICE but I doubt even in Orange Man's wildest dreams that it could have been 5X.

And there's good chance that the government will go into "shut down" again this weekend because the Senate (unless Thune takes it "nuclear") won't pass the Dept of DHS appropriations bill. Most likely, once again, the FY 2026 budget (federal FY 2026 started on Oct 1, 2025) will be just to do a "CR" again for the whole year, which (yes you guessed it) will still be based on the FY 2024 (last Biden budget) funding.

As for someone who has just retired from the federal government, I'm sure OPM will figure out what my fairly small (wasn't a lifer) government annuity (what some people call a "pension") will by by next Christmas. And with most public sector annuities, at least with the federal ones, a person takes a fairly good hit taking a survivorship clause for a spouse (of which if I kick off first, my wife only gets about 60% of my already reduced amount for taking that option). When its all said and done, my federal "pension" will cover my health insurance premiums and maybe most of my house's property taxes. And the ICE and Border Patrol guys make considerably less as a cop than I did as a researcher but I only had about 18 years in when everything is figured out.

As for selling out to the billionaires by supporting Orange Man, many US billionaires send campaign contributions to both the Red and Blue teams and if they do just one party, the Blue team has plenty of billionaires to fund them as well. If anyone thinks that big money is just a one way street, well, I guess you're pretty naive.

They have been grabbing people when they show up to scheduled immigration hearings, you know immigrants who are following the law and doing it the right way.

Defendants are sometimes encouraged to when forced to "Face the Music".
