October Not-Remotely-Surprising

I joke, fairly often, that satire is more like the news than the news is, these days – and that’s not necessarily a good thing.

But sometimes, actual journalism is the best journalism there is.

The latest from Project Veritas:

And it’s in Minneapolis.

This is what Republicans face in the Metro.

If this were a Republican plot to stuff ballot boxes, the Justice Department would have both Cities wrapped up in a consent decree faster than you can say “l’etat c’es mon mére

Any bets on whether the Strib can be shamed out of its smug indolence?

  1. The Strib will be covering this story the day Mogadishu Barbie is indicted for her crimes — not before.

  2. Looking forward to reading all the thoughtful, well written, outraged responses from the brave SiTD conservatives, none of whom will even bother expend the 10 minutes it takes to share their outrage with their US Sens and Reps…you know, people that can actually do something.

    Omar has no fucks to give about your hurt feelings, because she knows her GOP opponents don’t either.

  3. man, maybe Lacy Johnson has a chance. I see multiple ads of his daily on TV. Id love to see some attack ads, I dont think the DFL likes Omar.

  4. POD – The DFL may not like Omar, but they’d like Lacy a whole lot less. He’s promoting unity and calm. Neither are anything they’re interested in. Plus, I’m sure he’s a Nazi, since he isn’t in their party.

  5. If no one is prosecuted, it did not happen. “It’s too big to stop”. That, right there, says everything.

  6. none of whom will even bother expend the 10 minutes it takes to share their outrage with their US Sens and Reps

    My “representative” is Betty McCollum, who is a key beneficiary of the same system. Her people “chaosed” the endorsed GOP candidate Sia Lo – a H’mong candidate with good fundraising and serious inroads into the Lao community – by bumrushing the GOP primary to vote for a no-name that literally nobody in the Saint Paul GOP has ever heard of (and that nobody is hearing about today). That should tell you something.

    Complain to Klobuchar, who owes her office to the machine? Smith, who is depending on that machine to carry her past Jason Lewis?

    My state “rep” Rena Moran, a product of the machine? My senator Sandy Pappas, a one-time leftist extremist (she raised hundreds of thousands for Kathleen Soliah) who is trying to protect herself from a primary challenge from the left?

    Sure, why not?

  7. Strib & WCCO won’t cover it until they can independently verify the information. Since that would require actual legwork, it won’t happen prior to November 3.

  8. My “representative” is Betty McCollum, who is a key beneficiary of the same system.

    And if every righty she represents hits mute, she will never hear anything to disturb her day. She can honestly say “All my constituents feel just as I do” because that’s all she hears. Do you not think a consistent flood of angry emails would have an emotional effect on her? You’re not even going to take the 5 minutes to try; you’re just going to wave your white flag.

    This ignorant 3rd world slag is literally stealing your government right from under your noses. Just like she committed immigration fraud. Just like she uses her campaign funds as her personal checking account. And nothing will happen, because the 1 MN Rep that actually did stand up and raise a fuss got zero support from his people. You can be sure that didn’t escape the notice of the reprobates.

    It occurs to me that hitching my wagon with eunuchs might not be the best idea.

  9. If this were a Republican plot to stuff ballot boxes, the Justice Department would have both Cities wrapped up in a consent decree faster than you can say “l’etat c’es mon mére“

    No, in 10 minutes there’d be thousands of reprobates blocking the freeway, assaulting anyone they suspect of being a Republican (read white people), tearing shit up and burning it down.

    But not even one Republican will show up to Hakim X. Ellison’s office to squeek a word of complaint. Not one elected Republican will call a press conference to demand an inquiry. The craven right makes me physically ill. Maybe what they really need is a few months behind the wire to wake them up.

  10. The thing that boggles my mind is doing ballot harvesting in what amounts to a safe district. Why bother breaking the law when you’re going to win anyways?

    Thing #2 that boggles the mind is doing illegal tactics on behalf of getting socialism into place. Have these people never read the history of the 20th century? They way I remember it, except for the guy at the top, it didn’t even work that well for the Communist Party members, either.

  11. Almost 4 hours, and no sign of Emery or Paddyboy telling us vote fraud is a nothingburger? Are today’s talking points late getting distributed?

  12. Ian I was thinking the same thing, maybe they know deep down that this is SOP for the local DFL and national democrats or even better maybe one of them is on the tapes that havent been released by Veritas yet

  13. The thing that boggles my mind is doing ballot harvesting in what amounts to a safe district.

    It’s safe for reprobates, but these refugees from the armpit of the world are still operating on the clan system of the garbage dump they came from. Remember the fist fights that erupted during the primary? Omar is from the Majeerteen Clan. She has enemies from the other clans.

    Won’t surprise me when the animals start necklacing each other in the street.

  14. Almost 4 hours, and no sign of Emery or Paddyboy telling us vote fraud is a nothingburger? Are today’s talking points late getting distributed?

    They’re too busy licking all the envelopes the DFL sent over to them.

  15. BB: “ballot harvesting in what amounts to a safe district. “

    Her re-election is safe for her but those ballots can have votes for Tina Smith and a mix of state senators and state representatives who don’t have her iron-clad guarantee of re-election. And besides having spare votes to share is a great fund raising/favor banking tool for Mogadishu Barbie.
    Mogadishu Barbie understands that real political power is cumulative not episodic in origin – she intends to be the modern day Deil Gustafson of the DFL.

  16. The St. Paul paper is going all in: leading with the Trump taxes, all abut ignoring the ballot harvesting, and promoting the shocking and sad racism of southern MN folks who frightened COVID testers out of their town, reportedly at gun point (while the mayor of the town says it was a phone in a holster, not a gun).

  17. Omar is the perfect rep for MN CD 5. Her voters are getting the representation that they deserve.

  18. Ellison has as much announced he’s not doing anything. Too busy going after the Effie rodeo miscreants.

  19. MP, no argument here. With any luck I’ll be back in CD3 by 2022. With any luck Kendall Qualls will knock off Trust Fund Dean.

  21. Here’s an update for all of you comment commandos hard working, dedicated conservative Patriots. I contacted every member of my US congress delegation yesterday morning, as well as the US attorney in Minneapolis. It was tough work too, I must say; took a solid 15 minutes out of my life.

    I just got off the phone with a staff member from my US Rep’s office. Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a DC number calling me already…that’s a 1 day turn around from a US rep for those keeping score.

    He said that it has not been released to the press yet, but he wanted to call me to let me know AG Barr is going to start a DOJ investigation into the Somali gang running amok up there. He didn’t have much good to say about MN’s state leadership, but assured me there are people taking this seriously.

    We’ll see.

  22. Well for one, there’s zero evidence that Omar was involved in any way.

    In fact, there’s zero evidence that anything wrong was done at all.

    Just a selectively edited video from known hoaxers and an interview with a guy who is the director of an organization is known to deceptively edit video.

    Meanwhile — Michele Bachmann warns of massive voter fraud in which pre-printed mail-in ballots from China are smuggled into the US and stored in barns until they are needed to steal the election from Trump.

  23. There is already ample evidence that Omar has committed immigration fraud, and that she obtained her citizenship illegally. What’s a little illegal ballot harvesting on top of that?
    If the feds were serious about investigating Omar, she would already be in jail or on a plane back to Africa.

  24. Just a selectively edited video from known hoaxers and an interview with a guy who is the director of an organization is known to deceptively edit video.
    This is what the dems say about o’keefe, but when they are pressed to actually show that this is true, they change the subject or engage in ad hominem attacks.

  25. If Omar were to confess that she had defrauded the immigration system by lying about her identity and by marrying her brother, and that she had engaged in illegal vote buying, se would still sail to an easy victory over her dem rivals and her GOP election opponent.
    She is being protected by people very high in the DFL and the Democrat party.
    It’s Chinatown, Jake.

  26. So the troll is going with the “What ballots?” defense. Good call councilor; your mighty legal skills are awe inspiring.

    “If the feds were serious about investigating Omar, she would already be in jail or on a plane back to Africa.”

    Maybe. But maybe this is enough to get their attention, especially since it directly supports Trump’s warning of election fraud. Also, the latest video features the moron admitting he makes payments to Al Queda in Somalia. That’s bound to get someone’s attention.

  27. “If Omar were to confess that she had defrauded the immigration system by lying about her identity and by marrying her brother, and that she had engaged in illegal vote buying, se would still sail to an easy victory over her dem rivals and her GOP election opponent.”

    Sure, the reprobates wouldn’t care, but I think a felony conviction might take a bit of wind out of her sails.

  28. Remember, Omar is not harvesting these votes for herself, she doesn’t need them.

    Tina Smith and Joe Biden on the other hand DO need them.

    As do the down ticket State Representatives and State Senators in CD5. These harvested ballots all but assure victories for the other DFL candidates on the ballots and forestall another Coleman/Franken debacle.

  29. Just a selectively edited video from known hoaxers and an interview with a guy who is the director of an organization is known to deceptively edit video.

    It took forever for you to get the talking points, Emery.

    I’d challenge you to provide proof of edited video, but many have taken Project Veritas to court and lost, so…

  30. For reference, Project Veritas has always released the full videos. No editing, Emery, let alone “selective” editing.

    Nice chanting point, but like most of what you write here, it has no basis in truth.

  31. Project Veritas has no credibility. It’s run by a crook and this is a great example of “fake news”. This is actually real “fake news”.

    Trump Jr. needs more meetings with Russians to learn how to do disinformation the right way.

  32. Project Veritas has no credibility. It’s run by a crook and this is a great example of “fake news”. This is actually real “fake news”.

    Repeating an assertion does not prove an assertion, Emery.
