Its very natural to be sensitive to being addressed by an outsider as something you don't have any control over.

While we were tearing our nation apart. The PRC (mainland China) is having some sort of tumult with the CCP and the military. A bunch of stuff in the media among the ex-patriot community. Its a head scratcher for me as a non-expert in China.

NRA is gonna fight him on this one.

Reasonable. My contempt for the agency is tempered by my experiences with US Secret Service people i worked with in the past. They hated their agency and the job sucked. But, being a federal agent is intoxicating. The suspect types among them ended up working security at casinos. Which should tell you all you need to know. Others were high quality folks in my reckoning. Perhaps there are some good folks in ICE and CBP. Maybe.

I suspect Lindsay Halligan is looking for a new role.

The congealing Senate response is hopeful.

Anyone who thinks this firing or Bovino is some sort of moderating moment. Remember Trump wanted to massacre the BLM protesters in 2020 and it was only that his military leaders wouldn't let him.

Reporting that Noem and Lewandowski had a long long meeting with Trump. Hopefully they are put in a box or told to leave. Perhaps that was the Trump kids making bank in Polymarkets over this.

I worry that this summer will be that. The protests in MN were large and i think they will grow. The chances of a color revolution this summer are very high. Those who will definitely go to jail over these extra-judicial killings have only a few cards to play to avoid that fate. Ramping things up seems to have worked for them in the past.

provided for the yucks

Lindsey Halligan has decided to spend more time with her vanity mirror.

In all this we have to understand that there is Cory Lewandowski thuggery involved.

The Bovino hasn't been fired (yet) story shift is vry interesting. Someone (maybe Wiles) in the WH knows this is the dog food that even the GOP loyalists can't eat. Another person (maybe Miller) wants to keep the pedal to the metal.

The change in tone among GOP members should tell you all you need to know. Supporting the murderers and their narrative is not a winner.

I wonder who is betting this in the Trump family. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/kristi-noem-fired-alex-pretti-polymarket-trump-b2908076.html

He really put out "middle-aged lesbian, cosplaying as a Stasi commander" vibes.

Well, well, well.

Mel Gibson got his gun back...even after demonstrating his character in Lethal Weapon was not method acting.

Dan Campbell mentality

I went too far with "failed agribusiness" because the people at many levels of the commodity chain do a great job lashing up to the Federal government to get big payouts.

Had not. I imagine the rural law enforcement slurping types are very excited. Nothing makes a bunch of failed agribusiness moguls more happy than the idea that their deadbeat cousin who can't seem to hold a job could be a "corrections officer".

You may have seen the memes. The Minnesota Historical Society holds the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment battle flag, captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry at Gettysburg in 1863, which Minnesota has consistently refused to return to Virginia despite repeated requests since the 1960s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Virginia_battle_flag https://bsky.app/profile/douglasmack.bsky.social/post/3mdceu7z2ds24
