The DUmpster / Re: Trump's America is about to get rocked!

Interesting map. NC,SC,GA, and Florida showing tons of planned protests? This is just hot, steamy bullshit. Of course bluesky is America's newest source for bullshit.I doubt anything will happen in Polk County, FL, where I live (I'm vacationing in Canada at the moment).
The sheriff said that if a protestor throws a bottle or a rock at his cops, they will shoot them graveyard dead and call their relatives to tell them where they can pick up the remains.
I support that sentiment wholeheartedly.

We had a great day at the Casino on Saturday. The key to our happiness was money management namely CASHING OUT whenever we had over $60 on the slot machine. By sticking to our money management routine we dug ourselves out of an almost $60 hole and ended with with just over $500 net for the day.
In this video you can see how we stick fairly stringently to our money management by frequently cashing out our vouchers.
MORE: News coming in that spouses were also hit. Dear God, this is horrible.
OMG Speaker Hortman and her husband were killed. Our prayers and deepest condolences go out to their families.
Senator Hoffman and his wife underwent surgery and are fighting for their lives in the hospital.
Apparently, there was a gunfight between the vile assassin and law enforcement responding to a call about the incident, but he got away.
...
MORE: When they searched the vehicle, there was a manifesto with numerous lawmakers on it. They've alerted them all.
Jesus and Mary.
And that's it for the moment.
...
Word is, among legislators, that Senator Tina Smith was on the list along with at least one Republican legislator. The suspect had flyers--apparently handmade--that said "No Kings." Although the police has asked people not to attend the rallies, the word came out late and a significant number of people are marching to the Capitol. It does appear that the police are keeping them away from the grounds.
IF the shooter really IS Vance Boelter, he is part of Praetorian Guard Security Services in Minnesota. He has ties to the Gaza Strip, suggesting a motive.

69. This is so tragic. 😥
...
And, they are/were both Dems!
The first thing I did was look up their party affiliations. Anyone else smell a huge MAGA skunk in the woodpile here?
Why would DUpipo break their 24 1/2 year tradition? Has this post been deleted for committing common sense?

65. Everyone needs to wait before assigning blame for this, thought we would have learned by now
...
How many times have we assigned blamed to rethugs for violent acts when it turns out to not be the case. In this specific case, and I am not saying this is the cause or related to it, the Minnesota budget recently passed was controversial for the fact it removed MinnesotaCare health coverage for undocumented persons over the age of 18 starting Jan 1, 2026. Hortman being the Minn Speaker of the House had a part in this passing, and Hoffman recently sided with the Minn rethugs on a vote as well.
