Walz: "The federal government needs to pay for what they broke here. There's going to be accountability on things that happened, but one of them is the incredible and immense cost borne by the people of this state. The federal government needs to be responsible."

Under The Radar
(3,431 posts)If Trump can extract $10 billion from an agency of the government that leaked personal information about him that was completely under his control at the time of the leak and provided just a snippet of the truth about his finances, then most certainly the state of Minnesota should extract hundreds of times more as justification of the damage that Trump has himself imposed on that state,

I can only imagine Trump has the complete list of Epstein's clients, and is secretly, already,.... black mailing all of them.......

(2,437 posts)The taxpayers get something for all the $$$ we've forked over to the federal govt...
Create a clearing house for Minneapolis... for all the towns that have been invaded by ICE... CBP... DHS...
Get receipts for all the destruction... + the costs for repairs...
Document the damages...
Create a giant spreadsheet -- so everyone's charges are included: individuals, businesses, local + state govt.
Present a bill to the agencies responsible...
If they won't pay -- take them all to Court...
Stand up -- Make them accountable for the harms they have done...
Krasnov's minions need to see their actions have consequences...

Sorry for any confusion. There was indeed a scam, but it was not something Walz should have been blamed for and it was being dealt with.

(5,858 posts)The fraud was being dealt with, properly, in the courts, under Walz.
The pandemic money was siphoned off illegally everywhere, as there was an emergency we all seem to have memory-holed. Biden saved the economy and thousands of small businesses. Prosecutions are catching up. (My hometown of Niagara Falls just sentenced a pair of such thieves last week.)
The scandal in Minnesota was ginned up by a wannabe be OKeefe and his mom, ffs.
I admire Walz. I am deeply sorry he is not our VP. He was a great choice of running mate for the positive, progressive campaign Harris ran.
