Never underestimate the power of a bunch of pissed-off people with cell phones. The documentation of the atrocities has been absolutely critical.

Yes, kick the administration when it's down; it's easier to kick that way.

It's like sending Beelzebus to a bonfire.

โ€œI just checkedโ€”it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say โ€˜The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.โ€™โ€ โ€” George Conway

Critics allege the Empire blew up Alderaan with their new weapon designed to blow up planets, while the Palpatine administration insists the world had demonstrated tectonic instability for many years and was read to pop. We're going to have to leave it there.

I'm sure she's right, though.

The gravamen of the announcement is that a Republican can't win because of the ICE Orcs. That shouldn't have taken him two months to figure out.

Falsus in uno; falsus in omnibus. These ICE effers are cooked for all time.

If Minnesotans got wind of the fact he provided representation to Jonathan Ross, the killer of Renee Good, the campaign would have been a complete non-starter, anyway. Bad political instinct there.

Everyone deserves representation, blah, blah, but nobody wants Alan Dershowitz as a governor, either.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he canโ€™t support federal โ€˜retributionโ€™ against Minnesota His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administrationโ€™s immigration crackdown in the state.

Aaron Lavinsky would have made Caravaggio proud.

But at least he got this right:

โ€œNational Republicans have made it nearly impossible for a Republican to win a statewide election in Minnesota,โ€ he said.

Madel's epiphany is baloney or another word that starts with 'B.'

As a criminal defense lawyer, Madel knows that the violent immigrants are either locked or have been turned over to ICE. We got a glimpse of that in the case of ChongLy Scott Thao. The remaining few who might be at large would be better handled by the US Marshall's Fugitive Task Force, not 3K ICE.

They cannot imagine that a large group of citizens would have, you know, empathy for each other.
