This Vance has spent the last decade trying to de-Trumpify the Republican Party:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Vance_(politician)
This guy is J.D. Vance's cousin and volunteered to fight in Ukraine, was really upset with J.D. about Ukraine:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Vance
During his three years in Ukraine, Nate Vance fought in some of the war's fiercest battles. According to reports, he saw frontline combat in major engagements including the battles of Kupiansk, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Pokrovsk – hotspots in eastern Ukraine that experienced intense and sustained fighting.[16][17]
Vance remained in Ukraine until early 2025. He was formally discharged from Ukrainian service in January 2025.[18]
Well our current VANCE killed the dog at one house for no fucking reason
There is some level of divine irony in the fact that the vice president went from "JD who?" to now "Oh same as that killer guy" in common parlance. That smoke-eyed, infant-faced, nazi sofa-molester can't catch a break and I'm here for it.
I do so love this comment - thank you! LOL
Man you remember when Michael Reinoehl shot a white nationalist in self defense and was gun downed in a hail of bullets the second LEOs got site of him.
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
I remember reading about that. Quite a lot of fuckery, though I'm also not surprised. Despite Portland being very blue, the surrounding rural area is deep red with right-wing nutjobs. Up there with Michigan-crazy right-wing militia. So odds are good police knew the guy from Saturday nights...
Kid gloves for white nationalists, jackboots for the rest of us
The reasoning is implicit, but obvious.

I sometimes visit the successor site of the_donald to see them erase their memories in real-time. They were 1000% sure it was a Dem black person yesterday. They even had insider info from police connections. Today it's crickets and false flag.
(There's always, always, without fail, accusations of false flags. From CIA, from FBI, from antifa, from George Soros, from Bill Gates. How do you even talk to people like this?)
Alex Jones sets a lot of that up too. It’s really disturbing. He’ll talk about how there’s going to be a false flag shooting preemptively any time there is a big protest or similar planned. It’s almost like he’s outright calling for it to happen, giving permission to some psycho with a gun because they know he’ll cover for them.
Oh I don't doubt Alex Jones is still at it. I don't follow closely at all to the conservative-sphere but they all absolutely incite stochastic terrorism.
And they all are quick to discard previous and current beliefs as if they never happened. It's kind of crazy how efficient they all are at converging on the same new belief when the previous one becomes too indefensible.
You don’t it will only tighten the brainwashing screws even tighter

There is no way Trump will pardon him
Other famous predictions I've made include:
-
There is no way Trump will get elected
-
There is no way Trump will get elected again
As President, Trump can only pardon people for federal crimes, not state.
If he wants to pardon people for Minnesota state crimes, he has to run to be governor of Minnesota, win, and he still can't do pardons single-handedly then:
https://mn.gov/crc/about-us/board-pardons.jsp
The Minnesota Board of Pardons (Board), which consists of the Governor, the Minnesota Attorney General, and the Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court, may grant a pardon or commutation to individuals who meet basic eligibility requirements set forth in state law. To receive a pardon or commutation, the Governor and at least one other Board member must vote in favor of clemency.
See, the mistake you're making is thinking Trump gives a fuck about the law.
The mistake you're making is thinking Minnesotans will let this man walk free because the Pretender in Chief says so.
We'll stick this asshole with the 28th Virginia battle flag and they can come and try to collect him.
Interesting times ahead.
More frightening, I think. I worry most for the children and young adults in the US.
Why do you need an entire council to pardon a local menace, but you only need one high-functioning sociopath to release a nation-wide criminal?
Because a lot of states, Minnesota included, have more sensible processes and rules than the federal government.
There's no law saying Trump can't run for governor of all 50 states simultaneously. Oh, wait, there is? Well there's no law saying Trump can't break the law
There's no rule that says a dog can't play basketball!
And democrat leaders are like "Don't worry everyone, the rule-book CLEARLY states that a dog can't play basketball, if he even tries it will be a violation of our sacred institution" As the dog is dunking in the background and scoring points.
and biting the other team while his fans cheer

I kinda expected a dude who dressed as a cop to murder multiple people to have a better plan than “run and hide in the woods.” I was totally expecting a long, drawn out manhunt. Glad it’s over and people can sleep peacefully though
Every last one of these insane fucks thinks themselves some kind of chosen, picked-by-god leader of the apocalypse main-character in the stupidest fairy-tale they never grew out of. They aren't just narcissistic, that implies some level of brain-power. This is a whole other level of self-absorption that turns off conscious thought.
I'm not even being hyperbolic, fundamentalist Christian doctrine is meant to strip of you thinking, of rationalization. You can be a very smart person and not have conscious thought about critical aspects of life or the world around you. Thinking isn't the same as being able to drive cars, go to work, plan murders, etc. You can do all that stuff without having a mental dialogue or monolog that lets you reason out ideas in your head. You only get that inner-dialogue if you've grown up in an environment that allows for it, by training you to question and figure things out on your own.
Religion doesn't let you figure things out on your own. You exist as this shape moving through life just waiting to die so Jesus can wrap you up in his arms and rock you to sleep like a lil' baby or something. It's a death cult. There is no value towards life of anyone. I was raised in that environment but never quite got the same incentive for heaven because it never made sense and seemed like eternal bliss would be a boring nightmare you could never wake up from.
Minnesota has a lot of woods to run off and hide in.
How much of that is within walking distance of the vehicle he abandoned though?
Grew up a stones throw away. Bluntly, not much. It's a fairly dense suburban area. The closest densely wooded area is just the two county parks, one about 3 miles East and the other about 2.5 miles south. Neither is very big though. For a larger area there's a nature preserve about 15 miles west, but that's still pretty limited.
True wilderness is about 60 miles north.
Now Sibley county, where he was found, is quite rural but not wild at all, similar distance to wilderness.

Trump considering a pardon in 3...2...1...
I don't think this cracker has enough money to buy a Trump pardon.
If they get him on state charges, only the Minnesota Board of Pardons can do that. Which consists of the Governor Tim Walz (D), Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court (appointee of Walz), and Minnesota Attorney General (D)
trump doesn't get to pardon state charges, so have fun with that.
Who's going to stop him? There has been a lack of that lately.
I would normally post the "That's not how this works. that's not how any of this works" meme in response to this..
But the rule of law is over. We're still masquerading as if the music hasn't stopped. It's not clear to me what law, even means. So like sure, maybe he will. It's absurd even in principle, but here we are dancing in the absurd.
If a government isn't bound by laws, them laws have no meaning.

I'm glad he was taken alive
Let him rot in a cell rather than becoming a martyr
At least, until the Tangerine Toddler makes noises about pardoning him...
Murder charges with life in prison would be sent out by the State, not pardonable by the president

So when is he getting a personal call from Yam Tits, telling him he didn't a great job and is a true Murikan? Possibly offering a pardon and job too?
