    Pete was right, it is getting interesting.

    Oh, and please do not get it twisted. I'm not saying that I'm on the side of the lawbreakers. Call them rioters, call them protesters, call them whatever you want, but I ain't on their side. I'm just sitting back watching it all burn to the ground.

    Those statements above are apt.

    Super. Just what the people want their governments to do.

    U.S. embassies and military bases across the Middle East are on high alert amid fears of an Israeli strike on Iran
    As nuclear negotiations flounder, the State Department authorized the departure of nonessential personnel in Iraq and the Pentagon approved the exit of military family members at U.S. installations across the Middle East.

    Israel has attacked Iran and their nuclear weapons facilities. Reports are stating Iran's Chief of Military and top nuclear scientists have been killed.

    I hate this. I can't blame Israel, in many ways, as the Iranian politicians main campaign promise is to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. I'm sure some will see it as cutting the head off the snake, but what happens when the snake is really The Hydra?

    Edit: I should add that I'm quite aware that Iran has never stopped working on their atomic program, they're determined to make nuclear weapons and are a large nation run by maniacal priests of a cult of doom. But, I still hate that it's happening.

    maniacal priests of a cult of doom.

    Great analogy. Iran should have been wiped out as soon as they started threatening with nukes. Muslims are too fanatically religious/mentally unstable to possess WMDs.

    What the actually fück in Minnesota ?

    Voting with a gun.

  • peter4jcpeter4jc Posts: 17,664 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I see the possible suspect was a Walz appointee. We'll know more as facts come out, but it looks like Hortman and her husband may have been targeted for her recent vote that sided with the conservatives.

    Just hours before Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman, 55, and her husband were brutally GUNNED DOWN in their Brooklyn Park home on June 14, 2025, she broke down in TEARS on camera, defending her COURAGEOUS vote with Republicans to cut healthcare for adult illegal immigrants! 😢 As the LONE Democrat to support the June 12 bill, Hortman declared, “I did what leaders do… I stepped up and I got the job done for the people of Minnesota.” Her bold stand to protect taxpayers infuriated open-border radicals, and now police confirm her murder was POLITICALLY MOTIVATED! The suspect, a white male posing as a cop, left “No Kings” flyers linked to anti-Trump protests and a manifesto targeting Hortman and other Dems.

    @peter4jc
    It appears the source for this unattributed quote is a Facebook post by the Hodgetwins, conservative comedians. I couldn't find any other sources and am wondering if this is 'fake news' or has some merit

    "Hit list: A list with nearly 70 names — including other lawmakers and abortion providers — was also found in the suspect’s car, according to a law enforcement source. Officials said they still don’t know if anyone else was involved in the attacks."

    And who was the king (of kings/queens) while Biden was being propped up?

    Edit; And where was all the outrage when their side was doing the same thing they're protesting against?

    Three rights make a left, though.

    Full disclosure, I have no idea if those numbers are accurate, just something to think about.

    Not sure if this is correct from AI....

    Estimates vary slightly, but a widely cited figure for the number of people deported during Donald Trump's first term in office is 3.13 million. This is according to US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statistics.

    During the Clinton administration (1993-2001), approximately 12.3 million people were deported, which includes both removals and returns. The majority of these deportations (around 11.4 million) were returns, where individuals typically chose to leave the US at the border, often without further repercussion.

    During his two terms in office, President Barack Obama oversaw the formal removal of approximately 3 million noncitizens from the United States.

    During his two terms as president, George W. Bush deported 2 million people. It's important to note that the term "deported" can encompass different categories, and these deportations primarily involved "returns," which are carried out at the border and predominantly involved migrants from Mexico. Out of the 10.3 million total "deportations" under his administration, 8.3 million (81%) were classified as returns.

    Looks like Trump is still on top and three more years to build on.

    How many returns under Biden? 0?

    AI answer...

    As of the latest available information, the Biden administration has conducted a significant number of deportations, with over 271,000 deportations carried out by ICE in fiscal year 2024, according to an annual report released last month. This figure is the highest in nearly a decade, surpassing the peak reached during the first Trump administration.
    In addition to these deportations, the Biden administration has also conducted approximately 3 million expulsions under the Title 42 order.
    Combining deportations and expulsions, the Biden administration's total number of repatriations reached nearly 4.4 million. This number is higher than any single presidential term since the George W. Bush administration.
    It is important to note that these figures include both removals (formal deportations) and returns (migrants who were returned directly across the border, often to Mexico). The administration has also utilized diplomatic negotiations with countries, including those that previously refused to accept deportees, such as China, Cuba, and Venezuela, to facilitate deportations.

    C'mon, Shawn, just let Pete argue for Biden's Democrats and don't get him stirred up.
