Why No Prosecutions in Minnesota? Something Doesn’t Add Up Here
Could someone please explain why there isn’t enough evidence to prosecute and convict these people for second-degree murder based on the videos that almost all Americans have seen dozens of times?
Why second-degree murder and not manslaughter? You don’t fire three rounds into someone’s head at close range without the intent to kill them.
Why won’t self-defense work? Rewatch the videos.

All This Changed When Trump Came Along
Until very recently, there was virtually no controversy about things like the meme here.
Our Constitution, which used to be understood and respected by all Americans, makes the eligibility requirements for the House and Senate quite clear. The U.S. had been content with that for almost 250 years.
Now, Trump and his semi-literate base have turned this on its head.

Take a Cool Guess—The Fun Quiz on Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability. Today’s Topic: World’s Happiest Countries
Question: What’s going on with all these happy countries?
I had the pleasure of speaking with a guy from Sweden not too long ago about this topic, and I happened to mention Demark, to which he replied, “We hate the Danes.”
He immediately broke into a grin and added, “I’m kidding, of course. People from the happiest counties on Earth don’t hate anybody. But we do have a rivalry going on.”
Can you discern any common ground among these nations?
