Not to cast aspersions, since the only “evidence” I have is an uncanny coincidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it seems almost uncanny, the way mouth-breathing “threats” “against” Rep.

Last week, as bits and pieces of the local DFL PR firm we call our “media” started to get shamed into, y’know, covering the news, and the depravity of DFL rank and file started edging into i headlines, , that this “death threat” suddenly ate up a news cycle or two:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local party “community organizer” promised an investigation, which went as far and as fast as all ward heelers’ “investigations” always do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So have at it, hive mind. Similarities? “Tells?” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
