So you think they'll just leave their seats open?

Political assassination of Democrats. Let's see what the Poli Board makes of this.
Just head on over there, lowT. It's not far, the story has been on that board for a couple of hours and the water's fine.

I'd be willing to bet that is not what the driver is. Political assassination has been a Left wing tactic for the majority of modern history.

one is still alive so they presumably will hold their seat until they recover.

I haven’t read up on it completely but it seems like Hortman went against party lines and voted with the R’s to repeal state funded Medicaid for adult illegal immigrants.
Could be due to this, could be right wing political motivation.

We should find out motivation eventually.

Would be nuts if it was a “traitor to the party” type of killing.

They have largely latched on to the theory that a leftist killed them because the woman voted to repeal benefits for illegals.


However, the husband did NOT vote to repeal and he still got capped.

look at the guy that didn't read before forming an opinion. both those shot were Dems
According to the thread from the Poli Board, the woman who was killed had just drawn the ire of the lefties because she crossed party lines a few days ago to vote with the Republicans against providing welfare benefits for illegal immigrants. And I saw a video of Tim Walz press conference saying it appeared politically motiviated

Still too early to say for sure, but certainly seems like she may have been targeted by a lunatic leftist for bucking the party line on handouts for illegals.

that's true. they normally just "suicide" them though.

Whatever the motive.. we can be sure Walz is not going to help things. That guy is an outright buffoon who says the dumbest shite.

Maybe he can consult the world's moral compass China and figure out what to do.

Hence modern. There's hasn't been any real right wing extremism since the fall of the Nazis. Meanwhile, communists killed 10s of millions of people

But how could that happen in Little Mogadishu, where Africans make up 5% of the state's non-American population?

Is it possible TD has no idea what it's talking about when it describes "liberal shitholes?"
