... The president asserted in the post that the anti-ICE activity is also shifting the spotlight away from alleged fraud in the state and said, "FEAR NOT, GREAT PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA, THE DAY OF RECKONING & RETRIBUTION IS COMING!"

Trump blames what he calls "professional agitators" for the protests. He has not provided evidence to support his claims. ...

"Retribution" for what?

For using their Rights to protest Lawless acts by Gestapo Goons?

What was his response for the outright murder of a peacefully protesting US Citizen?

He sent 100 more thugs.

Isn't it wonderful having the President of the United States threaten an entire state for pushing back against his goon militia.

What a ------- disaster Trump is.

Republicans have gone from "Don't Tread on Me!"

To "Comply or die!"

Good luck with that.

Not in my America. If those are my only choices I know which choice I will make. But know this. Marines never go out alone. I am not like her. I will take more than one with me.

A group of enemy fighters hears a voice call from behind a sand dune: "One Marine is better than ten ISIS fighters". After a gunfight, the voice calls out again: "One Marine is better than one hundred Isis 'S.O.B.'s'". Furious, the ISIS commander sends 100 troops. After a massive battle, a wounded fighter crawls back and says, "Don't send any more men... it's a trap. There's two of them."

Donald Trump intends to kill people who live in Minnesota.

@#13 ... Donald Trump intends to kill people who live in Minnesota. ...

Considering that the great people of Minnesota have not voted in favor of Pres trump in 2016, 2020,or 2024, he seems to have a grudge against the state.

A retribution-style grudge.

To wit ...

Minnesota
www.270towin.com

... Minnesota, cobbled together from land that was part of the original United States, land acquired in the Louisiana Purchase and land acquired from Great Britain in 1818, joined the Union in May, 1858.

Minnesota voted exclusively Republican from 1860 through the onset of the Great Depression, except for 1912 when it sided with Progressive candidate (and former Republican) Theodore Roosevelt. From 1932 onward, the state has primarily voted Democratic, last voting Republican during Nixon's landslide victory in 1972.

Outside of Washington, D.C., it is the longest Democratic streak in the country. In 1984, Minnesotans gave homegrown Senator Mondale his only state in the lopsided loss to Ronald Reagan. In 2024, Kamala Harris won by 4% over Donald Trump.

Minnesota has had 10 electoral votes since the 1964 election. It was projected to lose one after the 2020 Census, but edged out New York for the 435th congressional district.

Recent Presidential Elections

Year Dem% Rep%
2024 50.9% 46.7%
2020 52.4% 45.3%
2016 46.4% 44.9%
...


Yet Pres trump said in a recent press conference that he won Minnesota those three years.

Go figure.

Yeah, Pres Trump now seems to realize that the GOP may have some issues in November.

So he seems to be changing in his comments from billionaire-supporting to a more populist tone.

imo, changing from his innate support of his fellow billionaires, who seem to have purchased him, towards the workers in the Country.

But why did he do that?

Simple, he only seems to support workers when he needs their votes (a.k.a. November 2026). Otherwise, his goal seems to be to give the Country to his billionaire donors.

We've been watching this car roll down hill for a long time.

Trump has been working up to killing a lot of Americans, all at once, for offending his Majesty.

Minnesota will be the first, but not the last.

After the extrajudicial murders, done en masse because some ICE goon was "bruised", we will be informed by our fascist occupation government that all the dead were members of some terrorist organization.

There's a reason ICE is not supposed to be wearing masks. Why cops don't wear masks even out of fear of doxxing.

Imagine if Derek Chauvin was allowed to wear a mask and we never found out who he was. THATS THE REASON.

*** Dummkopf Trumpf: "We don't need the Proud Boys anymore." ***

"Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio has offered personal security to right-wing influencers covering the protests in Minneapolis.

The DHS official X account posted a message, "Well have our home again," which was interpreted by white nationalists and extremists as a direct signal of support.

While the Proud Boys are not actively mobilizing, other far-right groups like Active Clubs are using the protests to recruit members."

Hi Zed: I'm afraid that you are correct.

In 1914 when Czar Nicholas II of Russia blundered the large, but lumbering, antiquated Russian army into the First World War against the modern Imperial German and the clumsy Austro-Hungarian armies, I'm quite confident some sagacious observers said the same thing back: "a lot of us are going to die."

Within a scant two weeks of entering into the disastrous war, Russia lost 70,000 to 120,219 KIA in the Battle of Tannenberg.

All I can say is "One of Ours, All of Yours" is a literal slogan of dictatorship and repression. It is variously attributed to places like Nazi Germany, Franco's Spain and other WWII era dictatorships - the exact origin doesn't matter but the message does.

Oh, the irony!

Trump threatens to use the Insurrection Act to protect agents in Minnesota.

Guess he forgot about the violent attacks on the Capitol Police (U.S. agents) on January 6th during an actual insurrection.

And that he then pardoned over a thousand MAGAts who violently attacked those agents.

ICE deported people with paperwork, not arbitrary violence, when Obama and others before him were president:

Syracuse University's TRAC data attribute more than 3.1 million deportations over Obama's eight years, with a peak of over 407,000 removals in FY 2012.

By comparison, the first Trump administration (2017"2020) carried out fewer than about 932,000 deportations total>b?, peaking at roughly 269,000 removals in 2019.

After Trump's return to office last year, ICE reported about 290,000 removals through late 2025 and midFY 2026, which is still far below Obama's cumulative total.

Trump Thanks Venezuela's Machado For Giving Him Her Nobel Peace Prize

President Donald Trump thanked Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado for giving him her Nobel Peace Prize earlier Thursday.

"Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you Mara!" Trump wrote on TruthSocial. A senior White House official told NOTUS that Trump intends to keep the medal.

The president made it no secret last year that he coveted the award, repeatedly bringing up why he thought he deserved it -- even though he ordered military strikes in seven countries in 2025.

Though Trump was chuffed that Machado gifted him the medal, the Nobel Peace Center noted earlier Thursday that the laureate title is nontransferable.
