I think Trump just confessed to faking his assassination attempt

You should strongly consider taking a long walk off a short pier. Hope this helps!

Tony Dokoupil, removes glasses, thinks deeply: was the nom nom monster ever real?

I doubt heโ€™s ACTUALLY giving him the benefit of the doubt. Walz is a politician trying to walk a delicate line here. Sun Tzu instructs us to allow your opponent a means of retreat lest he fight to the last man

DMV employees donโ€™t carry guns. IRS auditors donโ€™t carry guns

They can carry whistles and telephones. The way theyโ€™ve been using pepper spray, however , shows that they cannot handle the responsibility of pepper spray. If they find themselves in danger they can retreat and call the police for help

One of the best books on screenwriting I ever read was โ€œGood Scripts, Bad Scriptsโ€ by Tom Pope, and the chapters on the bad scripts were the ones that were most instructive

Hey man Iโ€™m with you but there are tiers to this. What Iโ€™m proposing is still a billion times better than what weโ€™re gonna end up with

You're currently arguing on behalf of the status quo (an army of unaccountable thugs wandering around murdering people randomly in the name of immigration regulation) and I suggest you rethink that strategy

We should turn these ICE agents over to Ecuador to serve time in Ecuadorian prison. It's the only way to make this right

I'm a hundred percent with you. But if they end up doing 'reform' it has to be SERIOUS reform that'll actually accomplish something: an end to ICE doing random violence on everyone they see

Dear Congress, as part of these reforms: Make it illegal for ICE to carry firearms while on duty. There is no reason for these assholes to be walking around with long guns or even pistols. They can practice their second amendment rights on their own time

Trump-administration officials and MAGA influencers have repeatedly called these activists โ€œviolentโ€ and said they are involved in โ€œriots.โ€ But the resistance in Minnesota is largely characterized by a conscious, strategic absence of physical confrontation. Activists have made the decision to emphasize protection, aid, and observation. When matters escalate, it is usually the choice of the federal agents. Of the three homicides in Minneapolis this year, two were committed by federal agents.

โ€œThereโ€™s been an incredible, incredible response from the community. Iโ€™ve seen our neighbors go straight from allies to familyโ€”more than familyโ€”checking in on each other, offering food and rides for kids and all kinds of support, alerting each other if thereโ€™s ICE or any kind of danger,โ€ Malika Dahir, a local activist of Somali descent, told me.

If the Minnesota resistance has an overarching ideology, you could call it โ€œneighborismโ€โ€”a commitment to protecting the people around you, no matter who they are or where they came from. The contrast with the philosophy guiding the Trump administration couldnโ€™t be more extreme. Vice President Vance has said that โ€œit is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next-door neighbors and say, โ€˜I want to live next to people who I have something in common with. I donโ€™t want to live next to four families of strangers.โ€™โ€ Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America.

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

President Trump, you should test the loyalty of your scheming viziers. Order them to kill themselves and expose the disloyal (RINO!) who disobey your righteous command.

I'm a big strong man bringing you this suggestion with tears in my eyes

Thank you for your attention in this matter

If you grunt every time you hit the ball how could your opponent be distracted by it? If you scream a different swear word every time, that could be distracting. But the same grunt? Come on
