Minnesota families are tired of excuses about violence in our communities. That’s why I’m releasing a five-point plan to stop gang violence and make our state safe again. 1. Name the problem. 2. Disrupt gangs online. 3. Hold Big Tech accountable. 4. Speed up federal prosecutions. 5. Support our law enforcement. We can’t keep electing the same career politicians who created this mess.
She names the problem as Somalis.
She'd impinge on First Amendment speech, per her points 2 and 3.
She does not know better? No need for the Constitution on the sideline?. That is worrisome. Censorship is nobody's good answer to tons of guns loose in the community because Trump and the NRA kiss back and forth and sideways.
Speeding up federal prosecutions is flipped off by the good lady as her say, they obey.
They're busy doing Trump retribution and she knows it, but, nevermind. 10 noncitizen voting prosecutions going in MN, federal courts, DOJ, with parallel show boating BS in other federal DOJ offices. That's reality. Two million or more voters, no fraud to speak of, ten fish caught somehow, costing what, but she is on the war path. Her priorities, not DOJ's to govern, flippintly presented. Who does she think she is, Melania? She does not call Trump's shots, Trump does. Big insight for the lady.
And who's the geek standing with her? Mr. Ameriprise? The portfolio guru?

10 noncitizen voting prosecutions going down in MN, with parallel show boating in other federal DOJ offices. That's reality. She's blowing that other 5 point stuff out her shorts. Probably where her $9 billion fraud number's coming from as well. Actually, a GOP prosecutor invented that number, not Tafoya.
The cops don't endorse the best and brightest. Remember, they endorsed Doug Wardlow.
Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and AOC back Flanagan. The guy next to Tafoya backs her. With her in denial mode about Trump being her leader. It is weird. Surreal. Non-MAGA.
She does not buy gas or groceries on a tight paycheck, and acts as if she's never heard of Renee Good or Alex.
Somali Fever, for a while, but she'll get over it. If she'd just leave it to the law enforcement officials who know what they are doing except when endorsing in politics where any nonsense goes.
Sorry for being a bit snotty. But it steamed me, no substantial policy - dump a load on Somalis as if there's not a good soul in the community. Not paradigms of virtue like her pro football players. But say nothing real.
Steps one, two, three and four of taking the guns away, Susie, tell me those details. Run a dragnet, via racial profiling? The way ICE handled that so well? Figure it out, readers. An empty glass.
