How Can You Tell The Strib Is Lying About Republicans?
By Mitch Berg
The Star Tribune continues to earn its keep as the DFL‘s “unpaid “ PR machine:
For those of you who weren’t paying attention to the GOP convention last weekend – it hardly needs to be said, but nothing of the sort of happened.
A move to disaffiliate with the “Log Cabin Republicans” (to be fair, led by someone who has never been a fan of the notion of LGBTQ Republicans) wrapped up in a procedural motion to vote on the affiliation of each and every affiliate with the party (there are quite a few) led to the clock literally running out on the State Central Committee meeting on Thursday. For the evening, it left the affiliates unattached, and their delegates not credentialed to be seated in the convention.
The body of the convention itself reversed that action on Friday.
This squabble – largely led by a representative from the first congressional district – mirrors in large part a similar fracas a few years ago, when a group of Central committee representatives and convention delegates tried to introduce rules that would bar Muslims from holding Republican Party positions.representatives and convention delegates tried to introduce rules that would bar Muslims from holding Republican Party positions.
It’s the position of this blog that, whatever your personal beliefs about homosexuality and/or Islam, that there is very little that is more aggressively American than “coming out“ as a Republican. Not even buying a house in Burnsville, with a literal freaking picket fence surrounding your front yard.
Indeed, in many of the communities served by these affiliates – Somali, Latino‘s, African-Americans, mong and LGBTQ Dash “coming out“ as a Republican carries an affirmative social risk these are not people to be pushed away; they are frequently the toughest, most resilient Republicans there are.
People may disagree. Let’s disagree.
But let’s also focus on the things we do agree on; for example, the Star Tribune are a bunch of partisan hacks..

“Time constraints” was the reason why they decertified those groups. That’s also why they decided to use Electronic Balloting….
Which decision will get the Conspiracy Theorists going?

How’s that “Russian collusion” conspiracy theory working out for you lately, Emery?

Tell us more about your insights into the Sussman trial….

He will get a hung jury because some lying leftist (is there any other kind) will lie to get on the jury.

Does the article have a boilerplate statement from Ken Martin proclaiming the GOP choice as “the most extreme option”, regardless of which one was endorsed?

What are you talking about, troll? I have no “insights” on the Sussman trial. I merely note that it is ironic that Sussman’s defense team (and team Hillary) are claiming attorney-client privilege as a defense against the claim that Sussman said that he was not an attorney acting on behalf of the Hillary campaign.
I’m just in it for the lolz.

^ Sussman is forcing it to go to trial. Durham was trying to intimidate him into a plea. Only two people were present: the one who says I didn’t do that and the one who says I don’t remember if he did that. Reasonable doubt was never this easy.

^^Utter nonsense.
Only two people were present: the one who says I didn’t do that and the one who says I don’t remember if he did that. Reasonable doubt was never this easy.
Sussman was foolish enough to make his claim in writing, in a text message to Baker before they met. It read:
“Jim – it’s Michael Sussmann. I have something time-sensitive (and sensitive) I need to discuss. Do you have availibilty for a short meeting tomorrow?
I’m coming on my own – not on behalf of a client or company – want to help the Bureau. Thanks.”
The guys on your side aren’t really all that smart, Emery. Can’t even spell ‘availability’ correctly.
And we have another example of you opining despite having a deep misunderstanding of the facts. Pure laziness, really, ten seconds on google would have revealed that Durham

“Only two people were present: the one who says I didn’t do that and the one who says I don’t remember if he did that. Reasonable doubt was never this easy.”
Didn’t help Scooter Libby or Mike Flynn. Guess they needed an expert like E.
Hey, new Netflix series about people in legal trouble: “You Need E.”

I have no expectations about the Durham investigation, or the Sussman trial. The judge (Obama appointee) has disallowed any evidence of crimes that may have resulted from Sussman’s lie, or the debunked “alfa bank” fraud. Rightly? Wrongly? I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer.
But I do enjoy seeing the fraud exposed.
There are still a few “Russian Collusion” bitter enders out there.

silly question: what does this have to do with the topic of the post?

Nothing at all, but the troll is gonna threadjack and the urge to play whack-a-mole is strong.

It’s not a thread-jack, it’s totally on-topic. The post is about Republicans. Durham was appointed by Republicans. See the link? Easy.
Could also have said the post is about LGBT, some of whom might be women (not certain of that, I’m not a biologist). Republican-appointed Supreme Court justices plan to overturn Roe ve Wade, a move which, in the immortal words of the Times, will result in ‘women and children hardest hit.’ See? Another link. Easy to stay on topic.
