Well, This Is Embarrassing
From Minneapolis, where vigorously progressive protesting is very in right now:
🚨🇺🇸 ANOTHER FIGHT IN MINNEAPOLIS – MISTAKEN IDENTITY TRIGGERS CHAOS
Another street fight just broke out after someone was falsely accused of being a “Nazi.”
Sheriff’s deputies pulled up fast, but then someone in the crowd shouted, “he’s one of us.”

“He’s one of us!”
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.

And now Chicago’s about to get a lot more exciting! Our governor has signed into law that criminals’ records will be sealed. So now we won’t ever have to read again that the man who sets the lady on fire on the El train had 45 previous arrests for such minor indiscretions as Grand Theft Auto, burglary, break-ins, selling drugs, and of course guns. Oh, the guns! What fun it will be to slap more rules and laws on the law-abiding while we ignore the criminality of our Democrat base. But we will never know any of that! It’ll just be one of those mysteries kept under seal.
At some point we’re going to have to wall off Chicago.
Speaking of the latest excitement, have you seen how Don Lemon led a pack of wild leftists into the middle of a church service to terrorize little kids, shut down worship, and terrorize Christians?
And he failed to understand that the first amendment protects Christians’ rights to freedom of religion and peaceable assembly.
I would like to see a SWAT team visit Don’s home in the morning. I imagine he’s calling his lawyer right about now.

Snake? I heard you were dead.
For years WIRED magazine ran a “which SF movie best predicted the future” feature and eventually canned it because Demolition Man kept winning year after year.
I feel like we’re getting close to the Escape From … series dethroning it.
Does he have any attributes that aren’t obnoxious, perverse or untrustworthy?
I mean, over the years, I must’ve seen a dozen or so clips of him doing… whatever it is he thinks he does… and every one of those clips has said quite a lot about the kind of person he is.
Incredibly, profoundly stupid and ignorant argument. But they get away with it and will press further until something serious is done about it. Which won’t happen because conservatives are such pathetic pushovers. The local gop is probably deep in legal consultation right now trying to find contortions of the law that make this justifiable under the 1A. Assuming they didn’t already work it out ahead of time with Lemon’s lawyers. Yes, wild speculation but really not that wild. It’s a cucked out world out there.
Mr Lemon tells us that inflicting needless consternation and alarm on random people, including children, at a hugely inappropriate time – such that the people being targeted find the experience “traumatic” – “is what protesting is about.”
So presumably, weddings and funerals should be ideal targets too.
I wonder what Mr Lemon would find suitably traumatic, were a mob of disgruntled protestors to target him.
On a not dissimilar theme. “Which team are you on?”
Wait you’re telling me that in this version of the story, King Henry VIII keeps killing transexuals because they aren’t siring him children?
And yet, when they have Cynthia Erivo play the title role in “Jesus Christ, Supestar” there is no pretense. It’s billed as a woman playing a man. Here, we are to accept that this isn’t drag – it really IS a woman playing a woman.
And if the level of perversity weren’t sufficiently pronounced.
And if the level of perversity weren’t sufficiently pronounced.
From the off-camera response, he is talking to a woman, and it appears that is a woman following him and honking.
And this is not surprising at all. Why would anyone expect them to care that they are trying to prevent ICE from apprehending a child sex offender when liberal females have long been the champions of abortion, puberty blockers, and drag queen story time?
THEY DON’T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE CHILDREN.
Except, perhaps, that the children can be used as props or tools to feed their mothers’ narciscissm, at best little actors for Mom’s TikTok and, at worst, human shields in street protests.
BTW, I am trying to keep up. Between last month and now, we have seen/heard:
FREE PALESTINE
NO KINGS
FREE MADURO
JUSTICE FOR RENEE
Do you think PROTECT GREENLAND is next? I’m feeling a little sorry for the printer who has the contract with various Soros-funded groups – Imean, the poor guy may do a run of signs that by midday are completely useless, what with shifting outrages.
BTW, how is Mr. and Mrs. Maduro doing? Theirs was not a very long news cycle . . .
Even if it was he first day of clown college, this is a bit over the top.
You do have to wonder how the volatile clown with the shovel, the one screaming “white supremacist” at pretty much anyone who walks past, can expect to be taken seriously, about anything.
I mean, he looks like the kind of guy you shouldn’t trust with car keys or a PIN number.
Heh. I got curious about that. Greenland is a little over 800,000 square miles but 80% of that is ice, so effectively let’s say it is 160,000 square miles of territory to defend. Great Britain is only half of that at around 80,000 square miles. Per Grok, Nato has sent:
That is to augment the approximately 200 Danish troops already there. The US has about 150 with leftover Cold War capacity for many more.
It would really be a shame if it comes to bloodshed. Maybe they could settle it with a game of Ba’.
For NATO that is a fighting force of extraordinary magnitude.
Meanwhile…Will these gender related sports scandals never end?
I learn so much from our little chats.
As do we, a community of scholars, a veritable Renaissance gathering.
Why, just the other day while following a link from a link I learned the UK meanings of “flange” and “growler”. Talk about cultural enrichment!
We are a proud and ancient people and our ways are mysterious.
How much of the rhetoric supporting this bill was racial?
Because employers are less likely to hire blacks if they cannot know whether or not those job applicants are criminals. Thomas Sowell writes:
The Other Half has returned home with an alleged gift, a small cakelet of some sort acquired via “someone at work.” It’s an unattractive thing that would easily fit in the palm of your hand and is covered in what I believe are called sprinkles.
It weighs about as much as a man’s shoe.
Not like one of these, I hope.
An Ankh-Morpork clootie dumpling?*
If it wasn’t one of those flange cupcakes that have been seen on these very pages shouldn’t be an issue.
Regarding Mr Lemon, mentioned upthread.
Imagine a dollop of cookie dough peppered with shards of sugary grit.
I’ve eaten it, obviously. Wouldn’t wish to seem rude.
Suitable for icy sidewalks?
I was thinking more of munitions.
Didn’t you once taste some free ice cream that came with a delivered/carryout meal, which turned out to taste, well, dubious?
[ Eye twitches. ]
I agree with that conservatives have too many squishy Romney-ites. However, there’s something else at play here. These leftwingers in the criminal organization aka Minnesotta are desperately trying to invoke George Floyd 2.0. I keep hearing from normies “don’t they know that antics like that don’t win people to their side?”
They are not interested in convincing normies. They’re like Oct 7th Hamas recording their savagery and broadcasting it. THEY want a response like Trump invoking the Insurrection Act and sending in military troops. They LOVE that Renee Good was shot and are hoping for more so they can declare “see? see? We told you Trump was Hitler” and get enough of their fellow reprobates to burn the cities again.
[ Imagines a world of baking in which the weight of a man’s shoe is a unit of measurement. ]
Oh dear lord. Just not enough facepalms for this nonsense.
While I very strongly agree with this, it cannot be the excuse for not invoking the Insurrection Act. I generally don’t care which way he plays using the Act or not. I do anticipate the RINO crowd using the “don’t play into their trap” trap. Trump, more than anyone, knows how to play this. Which is a big reason why his unpredictability is a huge asset. I am very confident he is not afraid of going with either option.
But what if the agents identify as child-molesting trans strippers?
No one has explained the First Rule of Holes to Don Lemon. He’s now claiming that anyone who objects to the church invasion are only doing so because they are “white supremacists”.
Don Lemon.
Is he the same guy as Brian “Tater” Stelter?
Mysterious is not the word I was thinking of, but I’ll accept it.
I’m surprised this didn’t happen first in Chicago or New York.
No, he’s the same guy as Joy Reid.
You certain it didn’t?
A malignant narcissist at minimum, maybe antisocial to boot.
The issue isn’t the issue; the Revolution is the issue, and to achieve the Revolution the Cluster Bs unite to wreak havoc.
The protestors aren’t interested in “the cause.” They enjoy the recreational malice.
He’s paid by the sign. He’s rolling in dough.
Every time I think I can no longer be surprised at how much Western civ has surrendered to Islam, I get surprised. AYFKM?
I’m from the Twin Cities. Thankfully, I’m far enough away from all this nonsense, that I don’t notice it. Also thankfully, this weekend will be -20 degrees which will probably put a damper on most of this dumb stuff. The imported agitators will no doubt postpone their mayhem for a few weeks . . . maybe they will forget about it.
Minneapolis. Sigh.
