State charges have been filed in this case, premeditated murder, attempted murder, impersonating a police officer and felony animal abuse. The trial starts Aug 3 I believe.

The Rs here don't want him. They endorsed Kendall Qualls over Lisa Demuth. Demuth shared the MN Speaker of the House role with Melissa Hortman before she was murdered last year.

I hope he wins. It will increase Amy Klobuchar's prospects.

#34 Sycophant ... I guess I can't past the fact that it is soaked in lye. Soap tastes terrible, not something I want to eat voluntarily.

Yes, we did the same thing, as did our parents. Due to that tradition, there are only two things I refuse to eat ... lima beans and liver.

My spouse and I were lucky we both had mothers that were good cooks. Our children benefitted by having Italian and French cuisine influences. Breakfast crepes were the norm on Sunday mornings. Tourtierre at Christmas. And you can never go wrong with a huge pot of sauce loaded with chicken legs, meatballs and spicy Italian sausage.

Since I am not a native Minnesotan, I have no desire to try it.

Lots of them here in MN. I suggest she be given a heaping serving of Lutefisk. Once she learns about it, she will likely demand they be deported for bringing their culture here.

Bellringer is such a wuss he has to feed his lovers his ----- to make himself feed good. What a creep!

#26 You still feeding your ----- to your lovers? Remember when you drunk posted about that?

#3 Would you like to offer a citation for your statement or are you just another lying liar of the republican persuasion?

What I learned from Ram Dass is it's very important when experimenting with mind altering substances to control your set and setting. Better living through chemistry!

#13 I hear you. That is what pissed me off the most (besides the murdering) when ICE was here in Minneapolis. They were at the courthouse gathering up the folks that were there for their scheduled immigration hearings, you know, the folks doing it "the right way." So I don't want to hear another repuke say that the should "do it the right way" when this administration is not holding up the governments' side of the agreement.

#146 for a Chinese, open border, California transplant liberal (cough, cough, Bullpucky) why are you concerned about what Mainers chose to be their candidate. He quietly traveled the state and privately met and spoke with many organizations to curry their vote. The other candidates did not reach out to any voter groups. I guess the way he campaigned worked and his tattoo didn't matter. What do you think is the best way to win an election, meeting with or ignoring the voters?

#146 Did you see the tattoo before he covered it up? If so, did you know it was a Nazi symbol? I wouldn't have known it was, but I don't search out Nazi symbolism.

Eberly, yes, "easily explained tatoo". I did a google search and found the information in my #64 post. He got the tatoo in 2007, on a drunken night out with his marine buddies while on leave in Croatia. He was in his 20s. Unless, of course you find doing a google search difficult, then I apologize.

He was running against the current Governor of the state and one other guy.

#101 I read an article yesterday about why he won over the current Governor and another guy. It was because he quietly traveled the state and met and spoke with organizations to discuss their concerns. He didn't advertise or toot his horn about it. They said none of them heard from the other candidates. He did the work. I give him credit for that.

Tell me, STD, did any of them apologize? I am guessing not. And don't forget, Donald LOVES HIM some poorly educated suckers like you, who blindly support him, all the while reaching his hand in YOUR pocket taking YOUR MONEY to give to himself and his RICHIE RICH FRIENDS.

#94 and Trumps' FATHER gave him a million dollar loan to start his business. He also taught him to hate black people. He got is hair from him MOTHER hahahahaha google it! hahahahaha

#83 You forgot, Trump admitted that he does not ask God for forgiveness because he says he doesn't have much to apologize for. So, first he would have to admit he had done something wrong, and YOU KNOW he will NEVER ADMIT that. And you chumps thinks that makes him a macho man, especially when he is SPASTICALLY dancing to the gay anthem YMCA. And REMEMBER, he sure does love him some poorly educated.

#76 Someone is sure living in the past. What are his actions since then? Has he admitted mistakes and apologized. I know, I know, that won't matter to you because you are a repulsive republican who wants hold others accountable, but still supports a 34 felony count rapist. You, sir, have exactly zero moral standing on this issue. So kindly sit down, STFU and GTFOH.

#55 DBT2 He got the tatoo in 2007, on a drunken night out with his buddies while on leave in Croatia. He was in his 20s. It has since been covered. From reading about him online, he said he is human, has made mistakes in this life, owned up to them, apologized and is working to make himself a better person. I'd rather have someone like that in office, than someone who doesn't think they have to apologize for anything.

The guy won because he quietly reached out to many organizations, met and talked with them. None of the other candidate made any attempt to reach out to the voters. The Platner accuser cofounded the "Ladies for Kavanaugh". The smear was a hit job by Republicans.

One of the officials this committee interviewed was asked to "potentially just speculate on whether the governor would have had this information sooner than he let on and if he had to potentially speculate, then he would say yes." What a joke! Check at 3:25

#10 Obviously a poorly educated person who has no knowledge of the type of persons he is accusing of fraud. Here is a clue, ya idgit, they are not republicans. Walz and Ellison are true public servants. You're welcome.

It is even worse, he wants him released from prison and believes he was wrongly convicted. Such is the quality of republican in MN.
