The Minnesota invasion has nothing to do with

Immigration and everything to do with retribution against Ilhan Omar and Tim Walz.
Everything the bastard does is related to some beef he thinks he has against someone. It all personal shit with him. This is a miserable goddamn period we are having to go through.

The pedo criminal had a beef with Gov. Janet Mills where she famously said “I’ll see you in court”. He forgets nothing when it comes to a slight, especially from a woman.

Remember all that Republican bullshit about "targeting" ? This is over the goddamn top political shit akin to Russia.

Operation Catch of the Day. Isn't that clever? They have kidnapped two working corrections officers and 98 others so far. They announced that 4 have criminal records, although only two appear to.

There is going to be a rally in support of the Somali community tomorrow.

9. They don't seem terribly concerned about winning the hearts and minds of swing voters in places like Maine and Minnesota

It's almost like they plan on keeping power through some other means than electoral success in this year's midterms...

Omar and Walz yes.

Also, it is more general.
They cannot really tell you; it is just general hostility.

The Prime Motivation is greed. I bet there were people who made millions off of the stock market seesaw.

Secondly, I believe he has little to do with the I.C.E. shit. That is all directed by Reichsfuhrer Miller. I think he is so far out of touch with what is going on that if the choice is a round of golf or hearing about what is going on in the country, golf wins.

He doesn't even call the talk shows any more. He doesn't even bitch about what someone on the tv says about his shitty performance.

He probably thinks this criminal hate mob campaign based on nonsense will damage the reputation of MN and hurt them economically and politically. Or something. He smears, slanders, and libels individuals all the time and I wish more would sue him for defamation.

Trump is desperate to unleash martial law so he can sieze ballots or cancel the midterms altogether. Does anyone remember during the 2024 campaign when he said If you vote for me this time you won't ever have to vote again?

Their massive deportation effort isn't about crime, voting integrity, or the economy. It's about RACISM. These privileged white A$$holes are terrified by demographics which will render whites no longer a majority in the USA. They're trying to get rid of as many People Of Color as they can.
