Is this what you voted for?
We aren't better off when media behaves that way. But he's better off than having to work for a media company who would do that.We are not better off when media fires those who speak truth and pay millions to Trump as apology for speaking truth. Only praise of dear leader permitted in New North Korea.
I don’t understand how people are shocked or surprised. They value money over life in every aspect of human existence. Of course they’d be more likely to deport a kid with cancer because a kid with cancer is expensive and can’t work. “Oh the inhumanity” yeah no fucking shit it’s completely consistent with everything they’ve been saying for 70 years. Why pretend like this is new or different or some line being crossed. These motherfuckers want to own people like they’re furniture. They always have.

Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded following politically motivated shootings overnight, Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday.
Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded following politically motivated shootings overnight, Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday.
Hortman and her husband were shot in Brooklyn Park, while Hoffman and his wife were shot in Champlin.
At a Saturday morning press conference, Walz called the deaths of Hortman and her husband "a political assassination."
Hortman represented Minnesota House District 34B, and Hoffman Minnesota Senate District 34. Both were members of the Democratic Party.
"Hortman was someone who served the people of Minnesota with grace, compassion, humor, and a sense of service," Walz said. "She was a formidable public servant. A fixture and a giant in Minnesota."
Walz said Hoffman and his wife were each shot multiple times.
"We are cautiously optimistic they will survive this assassination attempt," Walz said.
Authorities say the suspect is a White man with brown hair who's believed to be wearing a blue shirt and blue pants. They say he is misrepresenting himself as law enforcement.
Metro residents are advised that if police show up at your door, they will be officers in pairs, not alone. Do not answer the door unless there are two officers there. If there is just one officer, call 911 immediately. Authorities will know if any officers were sent to your residence.
Walz highlighted how these acts of violence occurred following a special session where both sides compromised for the good of Minnesota.
"We don't settle our differences with violence or at gunpoint," Walz said. "In the state of Minnesota, and as recently as last week, in the most closely divided state legislature in the country, we sat down, shook hands and compromised, and we served the state of Minnesota together. It's possible in politically charged times to find compromise, democracy and civil discourse. I, Minnesota and across the country, stand against all forms of political violence."
Legislators were alerted this morning and those in the metro area were told to take extra safety precautions. The executive director of the Minnesota Sheriff's Association, in a Facebook post, said that "an evil coward dressed as a protector, went to the homes of two Minnesota elected officials and shot them."
Minnesota police agencies and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are currently leading the investigation, officials report.
CBS News has also reached out to the FBI and other agencies for comment.
Hortman represented Minnesota House District 34B, and Hoffman Minnesota Senate District 34.
Organizers for the planned "No Kings" protest in Northeast Minneapolis said the event would be canceled due to the shootings and shelter-in-place.
"Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the communities impacted by this violence," organizers said. "Some events in other parts of the greater Minneapolis area are still moving forward at this time, and we are actively monitoring the situation."

How long before right wing media start calling him a hero?
How long before the right wing media says anything??? Or the Trump administration? I've looked and haven't seen much yet. Too busy with Dear Leader's parade. If this was the other way around the right wing media would be in a frenzy. Pamela Bondi would be foaming at the mouth, pledging to go after these terrorists. And neither Trump nor anyone else in the White House apparently have taken the time to comment either. These people have no fucking idea what actual leadership is.How long before right wing media start calling him a hero?
