If we had a somewhat unbiased media this would be the leading story on every single network.
How is this not the biggest story across the nation?!?
A few weeks ago during his Pennsylvania rally, Trump was excited about his new policy to ban all Third World immigration, and of course went so far over the top about what a "filthy, dirty, disgusting" sh**hole country Somalia is that he made pretty much every independent barf in their mouth.
Now suddenly your "media" has uncovered the CRIME OF THE CENTURY, and wouldn't you know it, it's the Somali community in a blue state!!! Can you believe the coincidence?!
If only we had more blatant propagandists... sorry, I mean "unbiased media"... this would be the biggest story across the nation!
LOL-I don't even know what to say to that nonsensical rant.
Let me ask you, what do you think about the billions in fraud being uncovered in Minnesota? Is the guy you wanted to be VP incompetent or complicit?
Try to respond with anything other than something Fox or something Trump, okay?
Lol, I'm sure you don't know what to say... you're too much if a dim bulb to have asked yourself why Somali immigration was made a political issue weeks ago and now suddenly your media is focused on an unrelated Somali immigrant scandal. They do these kind of propaganda "rollouts" all the time, and you guys never seem to notice.
Anyway, It was between $100 million and maybe up to a billion, not "billions". But fun fact! Since the pandemic there has been an estimated $400 BILLION in pandemic fraud that has yet to be addressed. Somehow DOGE didn't bother with that actual fraud, since it involves a whole bunch of Republicans. Where is the unbiased media digging into it?
Since Trump explicitly left fraud prevention out of the pandemic relief (for some reason), is he incompetent or complicit? What about the other 49 governors where that $400 BILLION in fraud is currently occurring? Should they all resign immediately? I wonder why they're only focusing on this one?
Oh, and this "Somali fraud" involves a grand total of 59 people out of a community of 80,000 Somali immigrants. I wonder if MAGA will use this as an excuse to go after all Somali immigrants and push their overall anti-immigrant agenda forward?
Oh well, at least your news isn't talking about Trump being a pedo.
You just can NOT have a conversation without being a condescending *****, can you?
Okay, let's say your number is right. It's only a billion in fraud. Should Mr. Walz be held accountable for the fraud he was warned about?
Lol, boo hoo hoo, let me get you a tissue. I wonder if you're even aware that your "something-Trump" stuff, and all of your other standard responses actually, are in fact obnoxious and condescending.
Trust me, if you think being condescended by me is irritating, try being condescended by a dipsh** who just drops one-liners to divert from not knowing anything.
I'll ask again, should Mr. Walz be held accountable for the waste and fraud occurring in his State? A simple yes or no would suffice.
The way Walz and every other politician is "held accountable" is at the ballot box, where they are typically either rewarded or punished electorally for their actions in office, unless they committed a crime in which case their possible crime should be investigated, charged, adjudicated, and punished, in accordance with applicable laws.
So did Walz commit a crime?
He was warned multiple times about the on going fraud and turned a blind eye. I'd say yes, that is a crime. What say you?
What's that crime called? What are you charging him with?
Even if it's as you say, failure to stop a crime isn't a crime.
If I see someone robbing a store I manage, even if I didn't do all I could to prevent the robbery, or even if I was aware of the risk and didn't adequately prepare, I'm not also guilty of robbery. I'm guilty of being a bad manager. I may well be fired but I'm not a robber, I'm just bad at my job.
Note that I'm not defending or excusing Walz. We don't yet know the details so honestly it's impossible to say. Huge difference between him actively helping facilitate the fraud, which I tend to doubt, and him having an awareness that there was the possibility the system could be or was being abused.
Basically did he not do enough to make sure his staff protected the store, or did he actually conspire with the robbers to walk to the back door and unlock it for the them himself? One of those is criminal and one isn't even if they both led to the store getting robbed.
Also Smapty's analogy holds here. Covid CARES Act programs were abused on massive scale, as much as 100x - 200x more than MN. It's literally the same thing. If you're clamoring for arrests in MN you need to be doing the same thing for CARES fraud.
