There are video shorts of a farmer who feeds his bull (Rufus) Little Debbie oatmeal cakes.

Gotta be really careful of that video title. "Farmer gives bull cream pie."


I'll see myself out. :spank:

I wish some people would take a step back and realize what they are actually advocating against.

ICE officers started wearing masks because they were being doxxed. That became a big problem when the cartel started putting bounties on them, because recent operations have cut down on their drug, gun, and sex trafficking operations. The governments that cooperate and assist with removing illegals with extradition orders have little to no unrest. Politicians against deportation have said they can't deport them or we will lose people to work the fields and keep the house clean. The only non-white people I see at these protests are the officers being called racists and or the hard r.

The irony that someone on the side of the Cartel, clamoring to keep these people in the field or cleaning the house, and going as far as to call people of another race who does something they don't like or understand racist names thinks they are on the right side of history is absolutely embarrassing.

When do you remember this first being thrown out?

---

It was thrown out by the fringe left as far back as Reagan. It only became more and more common as the left went further and further radical. The playbook of the Communist party in the US is to loudly portray the opposite side as fascists and Nazis because if you say it enough it becomes accepted and no one cares what rights someone that is a fascist or Nazi loses.

It's like the Trump is racist. Trump hates gays. Trump is xenophobic. It's easily refutable, but they have heard it so much and because they are so convinced they are on the 'right side of history' they accept it as a fact. The more they say it, the more they accept it, the more they will feel justified in stripping rights from everyone they disagree with.

Pretti was legally carrying in Minneapolis

He had a permit to carry in MN, but MN law says he must have ID and his permit on him to carry. Multiple sources confirmed he had neither, so he in fact was not legally carrying according to MN law.

Why has the OT become the 2nd poli board

---

A prominent US media personality was arrested for civil rights violations. While obviously there will be political bias in many of the responses something of that magnitude involving a prominent figure being arrested on felony charges would seem to fit on the OT pretty well.

at the current rate

Yes, which would establish a correlation based upon incoming data and expectations for the coming years based upon these trends. With lower illegal immigration these three states which account for nearly 1/3 of all illegal immigration over the last 15 years, these states will not have the incoming population to support their current population loss. Add in deportations which they accounted for ~25% of in 2025, and those numbers show they will most likely continue support in addition to a native population exodus that looks to have the potential to grow even further as the state government enacts laws to keep taxes the same while they lose a proportionately higher population of their tax base.

Just like the NHS may not survive 2026 in it's current state due to MFN causing their pharmaceutical prices to raise, and their growing amount of brain drain of young doctors and rising amount of quiet quitting since their government mandated a 4% rise in production while staffing numbers drop. It hasn't happened yet, but all signs and prognostications say it cannot survive beyond mid 2026 in it's current form. It has not died yet, just like their populations have not dropped to that point yet, but all metrics and indicators in addition to their reaction to the trends, say it is not only likely but highly probable.

No. What % of the population exodus from those states is from illegals being deported.

---

CA ~8% of their population loss in 2025 was due to deportations (voluntary or forcible), NY ~5% of their population loss in 2025 was due to deportations (voluntary or forcible), IL ~9% of their population loss in 2025 was due to deportations (voluntary or forcible) [IL did have a net gain in 2025 due to 44k visa workers coming in]. The issue for these states moving forward is stricter borders and more stringent visa allocation. With these states already losing taxpayers to TX, FL, and TN the more stringent immigration policies are anticipated to exaggerate their population loss over the next few years.

We do not (nor will we ever) control any house seats in MSP, Portland, Los Angeles, Richmond, San Fran, Philly, Detroit, Milwaukee, etc.

---

Correct, but at the current rate the 2030 census will most likely see CA lose 5 seats, NY lose 2 seats, Illinois lose 1 seat, TX lose 2 seats, and FL lose 1 seat. That is 11 Blue seats, and a net 8 loss in Blue electoral votes. Those 11 seats would go somewhere and AL, OH, MO, and WV would all get 1 and at the very least electoral college wise be a net gain of 1. At best we would see those 12 blue seats go 7-5 to traditional red areas but more likely is 3-9.

The pushback by these governances is for sanctuary funding, federal funding (amount allotted according to census numbers), and voting power. This is why Obama went hard towards TX, AZ, and FL when he was in office.

Just need a stout defense, solid OL, all-pro playmakers, and we will be right there with the top of the conference. :dunno:

I wish there was a rational way to explain to the Left that this is who MN and other states where ICE has had to perform sweeps is protecting. The states protect all illegal immigrants the good and the bad because they see them as numbers. Numbers means more grant money from being a sanctuary city, and more electoral votes because the population is inflated. If these areas complied with the FED to deport the ones who are breaking laws, then the sweeps would be minimized and illegal immigrants trying to assimilate would largely be left alone unless they were in a bad spot. The areas where the state and municipalities have worked with ICE saw ICE come in, help get the ones that have no desire to assimilate out, and then they move on. In areas like MN where the state and local govt have told the FED to f themselves, it turns into full sweeps where ICE gets more involved and we get the sob stories where people that were trying to assimilate get caught up in them.

Power and money, those with it will do and say whatever to maintain or get more of it.
