    In the case of Minnesota, I think it’s more about the fraud. But I’m not really sure they thought it out, because the distraction actually serves Walz more than hurts him.

      The fraud!? The investigation took place under Biden’s DOJ and was handed off to Trump. Local authorities had been investigating it before Biden. It is not new at all.

      The biggest fraud was perpetrated by a white women who used Somalis who come from a very corrupt area already. She took advantage of them because they didn’t really know better.

      Trump and company are openly committing tens of billions of dollars of fraud as we speak. It is not about the fraud unless it is merely a distraction. This administration played hard it would uncover fraud, but the truth is it is committing fraud.

        We should be able to talk about the fraud without bringing race or culture into it, but you shouldn’t get a pass for that reason either.

      The admin used “fraud” as a justification every time the national guard or ICE was deployed to a state that didn’t want them. Unless you have something more specific in mind with verifiable and corroborated sources, claiming fraud is just doing their work for them.

        Oh well, there is verifiable fraud and lots of it. If you think otherwise then you arent paying attention or you are intentionally turning a blind eye.

          Your response to being asked to cite your sources is to double down on not providing any whatsoever, and then following up with an ad hominem?

          Yeah, this ain’t worth my time. The point of providing sources isn’t just to prevent the spread of disinformation, but to correct misinformation. If your specific source later turned out to be incorrect or misinterpreted, anybody could point that out and help everybody be better informed. That is especially important when making an assertion on something that already has active disinformation campaigns surrounding it.

          If you want to contribute positively to public discourse, you need a better strategy for fulfilling your burden of proof than the modern equivalent of “well, how about you prove God doesn’t exist”.

            If someone is unaware of a scandal that has been all over the news for years, and then subsequent scandals, indictments, convictions, and very plausible evidence of more fraud, then it’s a sea lion.
