Hockey playing boys and their Mothers have to be tight up there.

Ummm...I haven't read my Thucydides lately, but I seem to recall a lot of instances of the Spartans refusing combat out of fear that high losses of Spartan men would allow the Helots to revolt. AKA "the portents are bad"

I knew I saw this somewhere before. Funny that it’s almost exactly what’s actually happening now.

Doesn't ICE have a big detention facility at Fort Bliss nearby?

How about Cobb? Not a great film, but I liked TLJ in it

Reminder for MN peeps: DFL caucuses are on Tuesday. Be sure to attend to influence the DFL platform and have your vote on delegates.

A Bar of Their Own in Minneapolis caters to Women's sports, rather then exclusively LGBTQIA, but the venn diagram of their clientele has significant overlap.

Linguine, three slices of fried bacon (chopped), cup of thawed broccoli, jar of garlic Alfredo from Ragu. Cook and mix. Boom, three meals for a bachelor or one meal for a family of four (with a side)

Hopefully, for your sake, not the Twins. Its starting to feel like a penance to be a Twinkies fan at this point.

That's fair, but I have to admit enjoying both D&D and fantasy baseball

They are actually fairly interesting to talk to at the State Fair. I recommend chatting with them

The Metropolitan Mosquito Control District ("The most popular government agency in MN") keeps em knocked back in the Cities mostly.

We would also accept if you became a Wolves or Twins fan. Frankly the Vikings have broken a LOT of us.

As a rural Minnesotan, I appreciate that. Thank you

As an LCWM grad, I appreciate this. Whats the price of pork belly looking like on the Chicago exchange?

He represents St. Cloud, Michelle Bachmanns old district. They are inbred monsters there.

We do appreciate it. Stay warm. I recommend tomato soup and a grilled cheese

They represent rural MN. This is their wet dream. They absolutely support this.

When this is over (God willing) I dont think we can ever trust a reconstituted ICE or Border Patrol in MN ever again. The Coast Guard or State Patrol may have to run the border crossing points. If even them.

THEY need to spend the rest of their life in prison. Their dependents need to pay for it as every penny of pay and bonuses is clawed back by the taxpayers.

I'd say more anime villian. He's one bad bleach job and some hair gel away from being a Final Fantasy cosplayer.

Plus the Guard is heavily rural and are not likely to obey their commanders and do anything to stop ICE.
