Quote from: Custard on January 26, 2026, 11:50:03 AM
Yep we got a bunch of snow, went sledding yesterday and made a huge chicken pot pie, watched football and played some Mario Kart. I smoked a brisket overnight, will go sledding again today since the kids are out of school at least until Wednesday.

It’s amusing watching people attempt to drive in the snow around here, Ms Custard got her Highlander AWD stuck in the cul de sac, turns out “snow mode” sucks in deep snow and required 4HI with the traction control off. Got it out to the main road that was plowed and walked all the way back to the house. 😬 We took the solo stove with us to the sledding area at the nearby golf course, it’s usually busy when it snows and it was yesterday. Got a big fire going and passed out some hot buttered rum for the adults and hot chocolate for the kids.

Ms Custard was cold so I sent her in my Jeep to get more firewood, had it in 4WD and she couldn’t figure out how to drive it in the snow either 😂 These people are used to driving on some slick stuff every now and again which snow mode and a light foot is helpful for but when it’s deep you need some throttle!

Think some brisket chili sounds pretty good for dinner…
The Shelby County Tn Sheriff has words.  :D :D

Rear wheel drive not fully equipped 😂 those things will get stuck on a banana peel. Fun fact I used to have that exact same truck that pulled the sheriff out!

In other words, the revolutionaries have the backing of the Minneapolis police chief. .

Yeah right
*************
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara made this statement during an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation" on January 25, 2026.

The quote was given in response to questions regarding the recent fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti by a federal Border Patrol agent during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. This incident was the third shooting involving federal agents in the city in less than three weeks, following the earlier death of Renee Good on January 7, 2026.

According to the official transcript, Chief O'Hara's full statement was:

"So I think, very obviously, there are serious questions that are being raised. And I think the greater issue is, even if there is an investigation that ultimately proves that, at the time of the shooting, it was legally justified, I don't think that even matters at this point, because there just – there is so much outrage and concern around what is happening in the city".

Key Context from the Interview:

*Sustainability of Operations: Chief O'Hara emphasized that his department of roughly 600 officers is "stretched incredibly thin" and that managing the "chaos" resulting from federal operations is "not sustainable".

*Lack of De-escalation: He criticized federal agencies for a lack of de-escalation, noting that while his own department recovered 900 guns last year without shooting anyone, federal agents had been involved in three shootings in three weeks.

*Victim Background: Chief O'Hara stated that Pretti was believed to be a "lawful gun owner" with a permit to carry and no criminal record beyond traffic tickets.

*Call for Reform: He urged federal agencies to operate with the "same discipline, humanity, and integrity" required of local law enforcement.

Thanks. As I said.

I love revolutionaries. There’s nothing more American than a revolutionary.

"In other words, the revolutionaries [good guys] have the backing of the Minneapolis police chief."

fify

The key words are "even if." That doesn't mean there was legal justification. Watch the video. The ICE agents unnecessarily escalated the situation. There was no effort to de-escalate. They could have backed off.

Same with Renee Good. ICE could simply have let her drive away. Agent Ross didn't have to get in front of her vehicle. ICE chose to escalate.

The sentence with "even if" is irrelevant. The sentence that follows is offering support for more protesting.
Maybe, as the Lieutenant Governor said, 'put your bodies on the line.'

"I don't think that even matters at this point, because there just – there is so much outrage and concern around what is happening in the city".

What is happening in the city that is causing so much outrage and concern?

Is it what ICE is doing, or how they are doing it?

It's not about whose side one is on.

The local police can confiscate a large number of illegal guns without shooting anyone.

ICE can't disarm a man who is legally carrying without shooting him multiple times.

This take is so shitty it almost has to be satire. Except it’s not.
