Trump’s Losing His War in Minnesota.
He’s Ready to Declare ‘Mission Accomplished’

Donald Trump won the last election promising a militarized crackdown on what he deemed “the enemy from within.” His language underscored his party’s disturbing policy preference: to treat civilians and his political opponents at home like they were enemy combatants in a warzone.
Now, President Trump and his senior officials are using that strategic playbook to inform every step of their supposed “drawdown” in Minnesota, following months of escalation, federal brutality and killing, and sustained resistance from the Democratic-led state’s population.
In conversations with Zeteo , officials in the Trump-Vance administration and others close to the White House paint a stark portrait of a president attempting to save face and declare “ Mission Accomplished ,” as one Trump adviser ironically puts it, after starting a war that Team Trump knows it’s losing badly .
And the effort to at least partially retreat – without calling it a retreat or a defeat – comes as Trump officials have privately assessed that they are bleeding so much public support as a result of ICE’s Minneapolis invasion that continuing it at peak levels would constrain the president’s ability to carry out similar clampdowns elsewhere.
By all indications, the campaign of terror that Trump is waging against Minnesota, and the United States, isn’t ending yet. It’s evolving.
Whatever

Minnesotans' courage is amazing. Admirable.
Luv it when lawbreakers try to convince others that it's perfectly OK to break the law - and they laugh about it.
Lock their azzes up.
That is indeed what this administration has been trying to do. Obviously shooting people in the street without cause was breaking the law, but these worthless Gestapo are just laughing about it and claiming they were somehow justified extra-judicial killings. Disgusting. Thank goodness they're getting kicked the fuck out.
Mirror, mirror - what did you learn from that reflection?
When did you move to 1943 Germany?
I didn't have to live there to see the similarities. Any honest student of history can see how closely this administration is getting to the early years of the Nazi party and their rise to power. Blaming minorities and immigrants for all their financial woes and the global depression while pushing extreme nationalism and pride to excuse the increased violence towards those perceived as enemies or 'undesirables' which included the Jews, atheists, gays, disabled and infirm, all while worshiping a populist leader who promises them a return to 'greatness'. The only difference today is that the MAGAites say "Make America Great Again" instead of "Make Germany Great Again" and "God is with us!" in English instead of having "Gott Mit Uns!" blazoned on their red hats. I didn't think anyone would ever be stupid enough to be fooled into being a part of this shameful Christo fascist movement from the right, but here we are, innocent Americans being shot in the streets by their Gestapo.

Canadian Indian Status Cards Not Accepted At U.S. Border Crossings ...

Anyone not White - very, very White - is jailbait in Trumpland.
Are Native Americans White?
Trump is now trying to start yet another war with a bridge of all things.
The insane SOB can't seem to get along with anybody or anything.
They are more American than the whitest Americans.
I bet he'd like to burn down the Parliament Building in Ottawa in order to get even.
Your issue with Native Americans is what Bob - 'cause your countless questions on their "authenticity" is getting old??
That means nothing to MAGA.
Skin color is all they care about. That's why ICE has detained quite a few Native Americans. Apparently, NT Native Americans believe they're safe.
Ha-ha...
I have NEVER questioned authenticity. I have no problems with Native Americans... except when they imagine that MAGA won't come for them like all other nieblanks.
The only authenticity I see Bob challenging is that of white rightwing conservative Trump supporters who support racial profiling and stopping people with brown skin whether Native American or Latino. The reality is, many Latino Americans can also consider themselves 'Native American' considering their ancestors have been here on this continent for thousands of years as well. Both are 'Authentic' indigenous people of this continent. The true 'aliens' are all those who have come after like all the dumb fuck Trump supporters of European ancestry. And yet those same aliens are now demanding papers of indigenous people. Talk about fucked up. Truly disgusting to watch and hard to understand how anyone with more than half a brain would defend this administration. Those with brain damage, I can understand. They look at Trump and guffaw along like the abject morons they would have to be to listen and agree with that monumental dip shit talking out his ass.
Wow! You don't even get the reality or the joke.
Maybe even start rivers on fire again.
His EPA just denied anthropogenic global warming and all scientists.
Somebody just shoot this POS already!!!
So, show me where that has taken place.
'Course none of you read/commented on this thread - which is a really damn good thread
Learn before you speak little grasshopper.
Will you still adore Trump when his goons put you in a "detention center"?
My apology to Buzz - at least I know he has a sincere interest - Thank you Buzz.
Thanks - no need ot apologize to me.
Quite honestly, working pretty well as expected. Some rough spots in the early 2,000's, but things have smoothed out. Folks thought the tariff thingy would be a major impact, but evidently it also has worked well.
The U.S. Nations/Tribes haven't reported any setbacks - just a few bruises on the Canadian side, but, they're working it fairly well jointly.
Okay, you take care.
Trump is such a FUGAZI UP, Racist, Rapist, Con Man, Demented Bag of SHAT!
CALL YOUR Republican SENATORS and demand that they "IMPEACH TRUMP"!
Or, get "IMPEACHED" for the crimes.
It's time to bring the HOUSE down.
