      With the way things are going, nowhere is safe from American political shit. First Venezuela, then Cuba, Mexico, Greenland, Canada, Nigeria(??) and so on

        the rich lives in some of these states, buts only ever in enclaves that are untouchable to the rest of the plebs. otherwise most live BOUGIE affluent blue areas.

      • Yeah my previous state is so far gone that it is beyond salvage in my lifetime. I tried but it’s not something an individual like myself could change. So we gave up and moved to greener pastures where the state functions well. MN has amazing metrics - they’re ranked in the top 5 for just about everything except public land. It’s great up here. Or at least it was until this last week…

      The red states constantly send their own criminals to blue states and then call them crime ridden hell holes.

        The darkly hilarious part is that the red states that bus people to major cities in blue states still have way higher crime rates than blue states and blue cities. But facts don’t matter anymore, so the dogmatic right doesn’t give a shit and eats up the propaganda.

    Will the Minnesota guard stand with Minneapolis by arresting every single ICE agent in their jurisdiction for conspiracy to commit murder?

    The Minnesota National Guard is under state jurisdiction and can be used by the governor to assist the state during disasters and other state emergencies. In times of war, Minnesota National Guard Soldiers and Airmen can be called into federal active service with the president of the United States as commander in chief.

    So what would stop Trump from declaring it’s a “time of war,” so he’s now in command and the National Guard have to assist ICE?
