Nullification

Timmy is such a poser. One day he is an LGBTQ activist putting tampons in the men's room; the next day he is any everyman Coach Walz; then he is a soldier at least until there is a prospect for shooting; then he is a tough guy wanting to throw hands with Trump or Vance; now apparently he is Jefferson Davis. In reality, the man is a national joke that just keeps getting worse.
He can fix a truck, he'll have you know!

dude, I was here for Covid, I heard all the macho talk about standing up to the government given the chance, and crickets from the maga crowd. I thought the libs were rioting and tearing down the very pillars of america to the point of being called domestic terrorists for even touching an ICE agent. complete threats to America. they are doing something, and yall are pissed its more than you could muster.

hopefully, yall dried off their spittle when you took your turn on the government ball gag.
Who is y'all? I am not and have never been MAGA...I'm a moderate conservative at best with a few liberal views

I feel like there is a ton of projection here...also the "libs" aren't doing anything other than turning on and off the NGO protestors when they want to....even Walz has backed off and is agreeing to Trump's demands

"Burning Teslas" refers to a wave of vandalism and arson attacks targeting Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations in early 2025, often linked to protests against Tesla CEO Elon Musk's political involvement, with incidents in Las Vegas, Colorado, Oregon, and Italy, involving Molotov cocktails, spray paint, and firearms, prompting federal investigations into domestic terrorism.

Key Incidents & Locations
  • Las Vegas, NV: A repair center was targeted with Molotov cocktails, a firearm, and the word "resist" spray-painted on the building, leading to federal charges for one suspect.
  • Colorado & Oregon
    :

    Individuals used Molotov cocktails to set cars and charging stations on fire; arrests were made, with charges including using explosive devices
    .
    • Seattle, WA & Kansas City, MO: Other locations where Teslas and dealerships faced vandalism, including arson and gunfire.
    • Rome, Italy: A dealership fire destroyed numerous cars, prompting an investigation into arson amidst similar vandalism of Teslas in the area.







Motivations & Context
  • Protests: Attacks are part of a "Tesla Takedown" movement, aiming to protest Musk's influence and policies.
  • Political Link: The vandalism surged following Musk's increased role in the Trump administration's "Department of Government Efficiency," drawing anti-Musk and anti-Trump graffiti.
  • "Domestic Terrorism": The U.S. Justice Department labeled these acts as such, emphasizing severe penalties for perpetrators.





Methods
  • Arson: Using Molotov cocktails and incendiary devices.
  • Vandalism: Spray-painting messages like "resist," "Nazi," and "Divest".
  • Firearms: Use of guns during some attacks.

Minnesota, New Jersey and about 10 local jurisdictions, including Seattle, are now working to nullify federal law in their jurisdictions.

Add this to Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner vowing — with the aid of prosecutors in Austin and Dallas, Texas; Tuscon, Ariz.; and Norfolk, Falls Church, Fairfax, and Portsmouth, Va. — to ICE agents: “If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you.”

This is effectively a declaration that federal authority will be treated as foreign and hostile in these jurisdictions, with the goal of helping people break the law and get away with it. It will not end well.

Walz…a dumba$$’s idea of a leader.

P.s. how did my critique of Walz imply endorsement of Trump?

It's the ole bait and switch trick to try to get you to denounce Trump eventhough you didn't bring him up so they feel like they are building some feel good coalition against Trump. This is about Tampon Timmy and Jacob Small Frey.

Minnesota does not have the right to nullify federal laws by massive resistance.

ICE tactics are the pretext; the real issue is whether states can make themselves no-go zones immune from federal law.
The debate over what has been happening in Minnesota is not about immigration policy or ICE tactics.
It is about whether federal law is sovereign everywhere in the country, or not. It is about whether massive resistance by states, cities, and street mobs can nullify federal law, or not. And just as was true on January 6, that question must be answered first before we proceed to more mundane questions about how our laws should be executed, or whether they should be changed by democratic means.

Minnesota authorities [must] accept the legitimacy of American immigration law, including the deportation of illegal aliens and of the agency tasked by Congress with carrying out that role. It is a matter of sovereignty when the president says that he wishes to enforce federal law, and the governor of a state or the mayor of a city says that he is not allowed to.

Democratic politicians have made plain that their goal here is to stop ICE entirely from enforcing federal law in blue states.

Our federalist system has plenty of room for states to dissent from federal policies.... But outright refusal to help the straightforwardly binding laws of the country be carried out is corrosive to the federal compact.

It is a matter of sovereignty when protesters cross the line from simply making their grievances known to swarming their movements, interposing themselves in the way of enforcement, stalking agents, pulling detainees out of their hands, using laser pointers and whistles to interfere with their vision and capacity to communicate, and using their cars as obstacles and weapons against federal agents. If this can be done, then federal law as we have known it is at an end, and with it our democracy.

This is entirely a one-way street. Democrats dislike our immigration laws, and lacking either the votes in Congress to change them or a colorable constitutional argument to overturn them in court, they believe that they have a right to nullify them by massive resistance.

Our Constitution is on thin ice.

To force capitulation by Minnesota and all of these jurisdictions, Trump must find a way to withhold federal funds until these jurisdictions change.
