The seemingly deranged governor of Minnesota has effectively declared war on the federal government.
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. – 18 U.S.C. § 2383
While federal law is clear that insurrection and rebellion are very bad crimes, indeed, both Congress and the Supreme Court have steered clear of specifically defining it. Like Justice Potter Stewart’s comment on obscenity, the general feeling seems to be, “I know it when I see it.”
Watching Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s overwrought description of ICE enforcement efforts in Minneapolis and his call for action—ostensibly “peaceful” but with full approval of the increasingly violent conduct currently waged against ICE agents...well, I see a burgeoning insurrection or rebellion movement. Walz clearly envisions himself as the commander of the Citadel cadets as they fired on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, sparking the bloodiest war in American history.

This is just crazy talk. Is Walz sane?
This is just crazy talk. Is Walz sane?Probably.
But the message he's sending is to people that aren't.
The Democrats are attempting to build a firewall using Minneapolis. It may not be their last stand, but its a very important one.
If Trump exposes and destroys the illegal migrant>>fraud>>democrat funding pipeline - everything they have in places like California, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, etc... is in jeopardy.
“Tim Walz is inching toward his Fort Sumter moment”
I wonder which states will stand with Minnesota? California, Oregon, Washington, New York?
Dozens of Walz agitators follow ICE around yet not a single video of them randomly stopping door to door to demand where “people of color” live and see their papers.
Democrats are down low dirty liars about everything all the time. I bet Timmy and Frey will be begging for a phalanx of MPD officers to protect him and fire on agents who come to arrest him for his insurrection.
And the President has Walz and that idiot Mayor arrested for Sedition.
I believe that Walz is in danger of getting Kirked.
Who will be the Blues and the Grays in those states?
(Save your Confederate money, boys. The South will rise again.)
me thinks he knows he is going to jail no matter what so he has decided to just burn down all he can before he gets put in chains
By whom? His own?
TamponTim long ago passed his Tokyo Rose and Benedict Arnold moments, and he keeps circling back to those moments.
I feel like maybe he thinks his arrest on corruption is imminent and he’s setting the stage for the “they are arresting their political enemies” argument. That because he supposedly “spoke out”, Trump is arresting him. He’s setting himself up to be a leftist martyr.
Promise? It’ll be an inside job though. Dems kill their own.
“He’s setting himself up to be a leftist martyr.”
If he is arrested along with the Mayor of Minneapolis and the Minnesota Attorney General they can be martyrs together.
Maybe he wants to become the Edmund Ruffin of the 21st century. He is certainly talking that way. But he better be careful or he might box himself into the same ending.
That is why you arrest Walz etal and haul them off to Gitmo.
Expect no support from any quarter—any that you get is a bonus.
