I have to give it this much respect: When I logged in to office.com (for work) recently and was confronted with the Copilot chat-box, I asked it how to disable Copilot. It was honest, and told me that it’s not possible because this is Microsoft’s new product strategy. Then, I asked how I could never see Copilot again.
It (no joke!) told me to install Linux.
Minnesota prosecutors would like to press charges, but the regime is protecting Ross; it hasn’t identified the agents who shot Pretti, and is obstructing MN investigators. Over here in Wisconsin, we have John Doe proceedings for starting a case without knowing the identity of the defendant, but the reason that’s useful is to use the court’s powers to investigate. In this instance if Minnesota has a similar law, it’d just get a case on the books which couldn’t go anywhere because investigation already is stymied.
Walz has mobilized the National Guard to protect Minnestotans from ICE. However, it’s a fine line, because the NG can be federalized, and anything too aggressive he might do would just see them taken out of his control. Nevermind possibly kicking off the second civil war.
And, Minnesota has filed lawsuits. So that’s three out of four of those things that Walz has already done, to the extent possible. Calling them pedophiles sounds like finger wagging. But maybe it’d all work if he Wanted It Badly Enough?
Look, just three weeks ago, complainers were bitching that Americans were too complacent, and a general strike would never happen. Now, a general strike is happening, and you’re complaining that it’s only a day? Even this was allegedly unthinkable at New Year’s!
We don’t know the future. Let the momentum build.
Cool enough to make the troll delete their account immediately after this comment…
Say, friend, I realize that there’s this streak of magical thinking a mile wide through American culture. It’s rampant in our stories. The kicker can make a 60-yard field goal, if he Wants It Badly Enough. Some dude can levitate his spacecraft out of the swamp, if he Wants It Badly Enough. A couple of local boys can jump their car over the river, if they Want It Badly Enough. The bumbling sheriff cannot, because he doesn’t Want It Badly Enough.
So is the idea here is that Tim Walz could do something about it, if he only Wanted It Badly Enough? Unfortunately, this is not a movie. He can’t drive them off by sheer force of will. What should he do about it? Grab Paul Bunyon’s axe from the state warehouse where it’s stored, and charge through the streets of Minneapolis brandishing it? Anything he could do boils down to one of two things: Talk (executive orders, legislation, telephone calls to [REDACTED]), or direct, physical action. The former, you dismiss as finger wagging, and the latter would be met with overwhelming retaliation, getting a lot of people hurt or killed.
In his place, what “something” would you do, that would actually work and not make things worse?
Next martyr, then. You in?
Fine, next martyr, though you knew what I meant. In any case, magical thinking (you just have to want it hard enough) has never worked. If you have suggestions for what to actually do, bring it. Anything short of actions that’ll get you killed never seem to be good enough for the complainers.
Are you volunteering to be the first martyr?
“Democrats Shit My Pants,” says [REDACTED].
There’s that old joke about replacing somebody with a short perl script. This loser is so predictable, we could use VisualBasic, instead.
I know that many departments have a maximum intelligence limit, but is “too dumb to be a cop” really thing?
Does it now? Prove it.
Same reason spree shooters choose gun free zones.
LOL. Might wanna get acquainted with what reality says 'bout that…
Ross was spirited away from the scene and hidden away immediately, like before his gun cooled down. There was no opportunity for any MN officials to act.
As for lawsuits, a news search for “Minnesota lawsuit” turns up lots of stories, like this one which talks about the one Ellison filed on the 12th to end the invasion. Courts are slow; they can’t keep up with events on the ground.
Lastly, the DNC is pretty much irrelevant these days. It’s not a surprise; folks here on the Threadiverse have told me that the Democrats aren’t there to fight for us, and we have to make them do what we want. It’s a fascinating and weird mindset, but does appear to be accurate these days. Anyway, this isn’t two teams facing off anymore, and the regime is attacking people directly. It doesn’t matter if the DNC rolls over, the people of Minneapolis aren’t.
