The Political Thread

Former Minnesota Viking Matt Birk is in my town today running for Lt. Governor. And I still can't find any reason to want to see him. Especially since he's anti-abortion, anti-trans, and anti-gay marriage.

Nah, just the dregs of society have felt more emboldened to be terrible people since Trump was elected and began peddling his toxic views.

Tim Walz is very likely going to be elected again by a landslide, nobody wants to elect Scott Jensen, who is literally from my hometown, except for die-hard Republicans.

OK so I'm glad this guy's dead. I'm not saying this was a bad move, I'm happy they did what they did. After what happened to my country over the last 10 years, I have zero mercy for terrorists.

But there's just something that bugs me a little with the method that they used. They just send a missile to kill the guy, they don't even try to capture him? The thought of someone in another country deciding that I deserve a death sentence and that they are going to kill me in my home by pushing a button is somehow spine-chilling.

Only because he's looking for more 30 year old pipelines from States oil companies with terrible leak records.
