3rd shooting in Minnesota.

Do you know when they await their hearings if it’s like a probation period?  I would guess any number of violations would jeopardize their status while waiting for their hearing.

I have no idea. But I would imagine that the hearings are just on the validity of an asylum claim, not their "worthiness" as an immigrant. Once given legal status, they'd be treated like anyone else with a visa, I imagine?

But that's the point of sanctuary cities—they can, for example, get pulled over for a speeding ticket or arrested for a crime, and the local authorities ignore the fact that they've skipped out on the hearings and have an outstanding administrative warrant and are here illegally. As long as they stay local and vote blue, haha.

New Zealand does have restrictions upon entry to the country, however, we do not criminalize people just for being here.

Nor do we condone the execution of citizens just because other people may have outstayed visas or whatever.

The taking of a life, even those of an alleged criminal, is a truly serious thing.

BTW, you keep telling me to shut up. Which clearly hasn't worked. So, perhaps, you might try, instead, addressing the details of your argument?

The left is struggling; they have completely lost the narrative backing criminals over American citizens

One group deliberately put themselves in danger by threatening police officers.

The other includes SOME of the actual victims
—people who were harmed by illegal immigrants who aren’t supposed to be in our country at all.
Yet the left directs its outrage selectively, and the hypocrisy is both exhausting and morally bankrupt.

Yes, fraud is a real crime.

Millions came in under Biden with no ID, no vaccine records, no records of any kind, but the average citizen who wanted to go out to eat had to show their vaccine card. People got arrested just for being outside their house or walking alone on the beach, but we're supposed to get tied up in red tape for people who don't give a damn about the law, other than how they can twist it to their advantage ?

No thank you.

If you didn't care about due process coming in, don't whine about how you get thrown out.

I don't think using cases of federal overreach to justify it happening again is a good play. Bush, Obama, Biden, they're all toxic in terms of legacy. If you have to use examples of them to justify what is happening now, you're already cooked.

Polls are looking rough and future markets have a house win at like 75-80% for the left. There are a shit ton of possible happenings to hit between then and now. 

If the left wins that, it's not because they have anyone who has a compelling case for how to move forward. They're in absolute shambles, evident by the fact Biden was about to run again, and their plan b was Harris. If they win again, it's because they go on "we're not Trump". I know the kneejerk reaction would be to say there's no way they can win after they tried to push the most establishment and least inspiring candidate Biden, again. But that arrogance would forget that Bush was pretty much forgotten, as was Obama. 

Society has a short attention span. Part of that is age demographics, part of it because a lot of the population doesn't take any interest in world views or politics. 

Trump had a commanding win in 2024. It was a message, House, Senate, Supreme Court, electoral college and popular vote. I know you're old enough and well read enough to know all of that can change in very quick time if things are viewed as bad.

From the video a few things seem to be noteworthy. The government will do all they can for the CYA no doubt; standby the troops and all that sort of stuff. Could have been some pent up anger by the agents who in their minds wasted another useless eater .... Some of the acts by protestors I have seen, would make most people (where I grew up) want to lash out in anger if not self defense IMO..

Much ado about TWO LOADED MAGS which is a common load out plus one magazine in the actual gun; just ask any FBI agent what their common load out is.

From what I have been able to see the guy was disarmed and then the shots were fired...

A friend of mine agrees, " A split second after the deceased appears to have been disarmed, the fatal shots ring out, and it sounds like they came from at least two different guns. If we are to give the benefit of doubt, as in "innocent until proven guilty", we would have to presume that the first officer to shoot saw an empty holster without knowing that another agent was in control of the gun due to the dogpiling, and assumed the deceased had drawn his weapon himself, and in a split second decision fired to protect himself and other officers from what he perceived to be an imminent threat. The second officer shooting probably then would have engaged in what is known as "sympathetic fire" - that is where one person hears the shots ring out, immediately assumes that the shooter saw a threat to fire upon, and starts shooting in a support role thinking the first shooter must have been justified."

Sounds reasonable and I agree as those who have been in harms way realize "Stuff Happens!"

For perspective, the last time the party having a trifecta at midterms maintained a trifecta was 1978/ Jimmy Carter

Its fairly rare to maintain a trifecta. its human nature to want change, and become disillusioned 

 
How many times has one political party kept control of the Presidency, Senate, and the House at the midterms since 1900
 
 
Since 1900, there have been 12 instances where a single political party entered a midterm election with unified control of the Presidency, Senate, and House of Representatives 
and retained control of all three afterward. These occurred in the following midterm election years:
 

1902
Theodore Roosevelt
Republican
Retained both chambers despite minor seat changes.

1906
Theodore Roosevelt
Republican
Retained both chambers.

1914
Woodrow Wilson
Democratic
Retained both chambers; gained Senate seats.

1922
Warren G. Harding/Calvin Coolidge
Republican
Retained both chambers despite significant House losses (still held majority).

1926
Calvin Coolidge
Republican
Retained both chambers despite losses in both.

1934
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democratic
Retained both chambers; gained seats in both.

1938
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democratic
Retained both chambers despite heavy losses in both.

1942
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democratic
Retained both chambers despite losses in both.

1950
Harry S. Truman
Democratic
Retained both chambers despite losses in both.

1962
John F. Kennedy
Democratic
Retained both chambers; minor House losses, Senate gains.

1966
Lyndon B. Johnson
Democratic
Retained both chambers despite heavy House losses and minor Senate losses.

1978
Jimmy Carter
Democratic
Retained both chambers despite losses in both.
 
 
Here are the key midterm years since 1978 where a trifecta was lost (focusing only on cases where the party started with unified control):

• 1994 — Democrats under Bill Clinton lost both the House and Senate in a major Republican wave (the "Republican Revolution").
  
• 2006 — Republicans under George W. Bush lost both the House and Senate amid backlash over the Iraq War and other issues.
  
• 2010 — Democrats under Barack Obama lost the House (and suffered major Senate losses, though they narrowly retained it).
  
• 2018 — Republicans under Donald Trump lost the House (while retaining the Senate and Presidency).
  
• 2022 — Democrats under Joe Biden lost the House (while narrowly retaining the Senate).
  

In summary, there have been 5 such midterm trifecta losses since 1978 (1994, 2006, 2010, 2018, and 2022). This reflects the strong historical tendency for the president's party to lose congressional ground in midterms, especially when they already hold full control going in.
For context, the only post-1978 midterm where the president's party avoided losing the trifecta was in 2002 (Republicans under George W. Bush actually gained Senate control while retaining the House, expanding their trifecta — but this was an unusual post-9/11 rally year, not a defense of an existing one in the typical sense). No other midterms since then saw retention when starting with a trifecta.

The gifts that kept on giving.

But the poor sods certainly did not bode to well out of the experience.

As history clearly records in its own twisted fashion.
