This happened last night. It appears to be a coordinated political assassination. Be safe out there, things are heating up.

This will give another reason for trump to deploy troops. He might have not deployed to Minnesota. But this basically guarantees he will deploy troops in Minnesota.

He has not talked about this at all today. Probably secretly approves of it.

Nobody on Truth Social has brought it to his attention.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Or approved it.

The other scary idea is trump using this to deploy federal military "security" with every senator/government representative. A few troops just waiting on the order 66 call

Kinda scary cause this sounds pretty realistic =(

Minnesota was already on his list, and I imagine you're right. I wonder how they'll spin these murders, considering it's their people pulling the triggers. I wouldn't be surprised if the police uniforms the shooters used were given to them by actual cops. Minnesota has a long history of corrupt law enforcement.
