Claiming That the Vote Was Rigged, the Minnesota Democrat Party Voids the Party's Endorsement of Somali Socialist Omar Fateh

Wait but I thought Democrat election wins were all legitimate and beyond questioning.

A couple of months ago the Minnesota Democrat Party voted to give the challenger for Minneapolis mayor, the Somali socialist Fateh, over the currently-serving mayor, who is Jewish. This had bigger advantages than just the dubious power of a Democrat Party endorsement -- Fateh was granted party monies to campaign against the incumbent.

But Democrats are now claiming that foreigners rigged the election.


The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party vacated is endorsement following State Democratic Party because of a "substantial undercount" in the nominee balloting at a recent convention.


By Natalia Mittelstadt

Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party has vacated its endorsement of democratic-socialist state Sen. Omar Fateh for Minneapolis mayor, after a review panel found flaws in the voting process.

Fateh is challenging the more centrist incumbent Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey.

...

However, on Thursday, Minnesota state Democratic Party officials withdrew the Minneapolis chapter's endorsement, citing "substantial failures" during the convention, which had technological and procedural irregularities. In Minnesota, the state party is called the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.

With the endorsement, Fateh would have had access to party resources and valuable voter databases for his campaign, which would have helped in his race against Frey, a two-term incumbent who has raised significantly more money.

Fateh has been compared to New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani, as they both seek to move their cities further left by taxing the wealthy to build affordable housing, capping rent increases, and overhauling how public safety resources are spent. Each are democratic socialists, Muslim and have African roots.

The Fateh campaign's co-manager, Graham Faulkner, criticized the revocation of the endorsement.

"Our campaign sees this for what it is: disenfranchisement of thousands of Minneapolis caucusgoers and the delegates who represented all of us on convention day," Faulkner said. "The establishment is threatened by our message."

There is no such thing as election cheating, unless the Democrat-Media Party Establishment says there is.

Bonus: Of course.

43 I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Omar Fateh's policy positions. Particularly, he has two revenue projects to pay for all his "gifts" to the Somali community.

1. Vacancy Tax- This is a new tax that is in addition to property taxes that would apply to those commercial properties forced to close due to rioting, crime, and various other reasons.

2. Fateh is in constant contact with the Minnesota Revenue Dept. to create a new wealth tax state wide that would be use primarily to support Minneapolis social projects.

I don't know whether I should laugh at the absolute ignorance and hubris associated with these "ideas" or as the fact that there are a sufficient number of people in Minnesota that would support such nonsense.

94 Tim Walz: "Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. 'Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid frickin' red hat. What should I say today? I don't know, just make sure it's cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy -- the felon in the White House.'"

95 Tim Walz blames the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman on “a rhetoric from [Trump’s] followers that continues to perpetuate the climate that leads to these types of things.”

Never mind that the guy who shot the Hortmans, as well as Senator John Hoffman and his wife, worked for Walz and was not inspired by President Trump, the pro-life movement, or MAGA. Vane Boelter is a nutjob, but Walz decided to politicize this, because Walz is a vile human being.

105 Fateh's policy positions. Particularly, he has two revenue projects to pay for all his "gifts" to the Somali community.

1. Vacancy Tax- This is a new tax that is in addition to property taxes that would apply to those commercial properties forced to close due to rioting, crime, and various other reasons.

2. Fateh is in constant contact with the Minnesota Revenue Dept. to create a new wealth tax state wide that would be use primarily to support Minneapolis social projects.

113 The Minnesota DFL is claiming their Minneapolis mayoral endorsement vote was rigged for the inbred Muslim is not because the vote was rigged. It is a given that all DFL votes are cooked and then booked; it has been that way since forever.

What has changed is the DFL figured out the voters, they have taken for granted since forever, are in revolt and their inbred Muslim Communist mayoral candidate could easily result in the DFL being send packing and the state flipping Republican. See the 1965 Democrat Great Society cockup as an example of how these things can work out; that one cost the D's the South permanently. Also that dumbass Walz.

This is a desperation move to stave off what is looking like the inevitable. I was up on the Iron Range this summer. Historically it was a union/DFL fortress; from what I experienced while there the walls have been breached. Time will tell; cramming an inbred Muslim down the electorate's throat is triggering a collective gag reflex.

Whether it stands or not, it shows again how Trump is a master of setting up an 80/20 issue where he's on the 80 side. All the Dems are now going to come out and advocate for the burning of American Flags, their more radical ones will probably start burning flags soon, just to "show Trump".

Voters, community, reputation.

Being homosexual carries with it a lot of baggage socially, not just in hetero communities, but pretty much all communities. There are certain expectations from being openly gay that are really hard to resist without being a pretty tough personality, and certain areas of community that could be closed out if not obeyed.
Even if the individuals rationalization is "I'm not gay, just guys give better BJs" it is not something you tell openly, (Having blown 100 guys makes your wife a tramp, but what does it make you?)
Also, if someone were to be in a foreign country and, for example, violate a minimum age law in one's home state, one might be prosecuted as if the act had been committed in one's home state.

But all that aside, how is it possible to consider compliance with lawless court orders and rulings (going on for decades now) by any president *not* a violation of their oath of office.

Yeah yeah inertia, cowardice, mediocrity - the vital ingredients of today's American institutions and "elites" - of course are fine with "letting the system work", with the butcher's bill, cost, and constitutional dissolution that represents. And the legal cult (including "conservatives") doesn't even know how to begin to think outside the derailed ridiculous "system" that has evolved.

252 231 Yeah yeah inertia, cowardice, mediocrity - the vital ingredients of today's American institutions and "elites" - of course are fine with "letting the system work", with the butcher's bill, cost, and constitutional dissolution that represents. And the legal cult (including "conservatives") doesn't even know how to begin to think outside the derailed ridiculous "system" that has evolved.

But action delayed on this only will make the final chapter worse.

Apparently something new got filed that delayed things to Friday or later. Xinis wants a hearing on Friday, I think? I haven't seen anything primary yet.

But, we always have to remember context.

Garcia is a sideshow while Trump's admin deports 200,000 more people since Garcia first filed his first lawsuit. And Garcia will end up out of the country in the end, a high-profile example to those choosing to fight to stay without legal right to be here.

And following the appeals process has kept SCOTOS so much on Trump's side that Jackson is writing 20 page screeds about it that not even Sotomayor will sign onto.

Even if true, zzzzzzz .....

SCOTUS is the center of the lawless beast. Quick to social engineer (while spitting vile slanders and delusional bigotry), utterly shameless in usurping unambiguous executive authority (Hamdan v. Bush, and a few dozen current "cases"). Comically contemptuous of the 2A, to the point that their "rulings" are toilet paper to the entire system over which they have nominal authority. And on, and on, and on.

Time is critical. Every ridiculous inferior court usurpation (how does a "case" where a court - by law - has no jurisdiction, last even 24 hours?) is friction. AND it's just a reminder of the constitutional collapse, which can/will manifest itself in every/any issue the brain-dead zombie NPR class cares about.

And as I said, every even dubiously tactical indulgence of the judiciary just encourages more usurpation, and makes any final reckoning worse. Though I have the sense there never will be one. The US will morph into a judicial-authoritarian state like Israel.

Speaking of movies, watched "Jurassic World" with my wife over the weekend. "Not my choice" he hastened to add.

How they managed to pack a 20 minute story into over 2 hours is an amazing feat. Script: dreadful. Acting: even worse. Director: I think he left the actually shooting of scenes to the B and C roll guys. Editor? Took a nap while editing, therefore allowing much of what should have gone on the floor in the movie.

Although, I did enjoy seeing the actor who got his face sliced off in "Alita" get eaten early.

I also want to know where the good dinosaur doctor got his glasses, because they never got broken, dirty or generally removed from his face...even though in one scene he fell a good 30 or 40 feet. Or more. Oh yeah, I think the makeup budget must have been cut, because, for some reason, Scarlet Johansson was only a bit sweaty and dirty for about the last 245 minutes of the movie.

As far as I'm concerned, the Constitution was ruled moot during Covid... and the more they admit to what actually went on, the worse it gets.

The US Government financed the lab that created a virus, created by US Educated Chinese Scientists, which leaked.

They then used the 'pandemic' to totally destroy Rights in this nation.. right to assembly? gone. Right to property? Gov controlled who can come on your property. Freedom of Religion? closed churches. Freedom of Movement? Gone unless you were vax'd.

Even Freedom of Speech, as they used the threat of Gov power to force Companies to censor speech on the Net.

On Friday was on the bay and we checked out this enormous seized Russian oligarch's yacht, the Amadea. Really a small ship. Eventually some Customs guy half-heartedly waved us to move further off. One of the guys on the boat said it was going up for auction soon, estimates were in the $300M range. So I'm passing on this one.

Not far away, what I'm pretty sure is the HMS Surprise (ship from Master and Commander), which is part of the Maritime Museum here, looked pretty rough. That museum already lost their Soviet Golf-class sub because they couldn't afford the very pricey maintenance cycle. Hope the Surprise lasts until I can finally get around to visiting it.

It's not a blanket ban on the burning of the flag. As quoted, it's "The Attorney General shall prioritize the enforcement to the fullest extent possible of our Nation’s criminal and civil laws against acts of American Flag desecration that violate applicable, content-neutral laws, while causing harm unrelated to expression, consistent with the First Amendment."

and

"In cases where the Department of Justice or another executive department or agency (agency) determines that an instance of American Flag desecration may violate an applicable State or local law, such as open burning restrictions, disorderly conduct laws, or destruction of property laws, the agency shall refer the matter to the appropriate State or local authority for potential action."

It's actually really narrow.

Burning the commie homo flag is prosecuted and perpetrators are fined. Either equal protection exists under the law or it doesn't.

Anyway, the EO is fairly narrowly drawn. And, some people are of the opinion the EO is designed to be another squirrel for Democrats to chase.

435 Huh? Fundraising for me? I'm going somewhere? Missed something.

And no friction is not two-way in this case. Courts literally (by law) without jurisdiction interfering in vital, national security-related executive action has no upside. It's not as though there is some long-standing weighty abstruse gray area about district courts having no role in adjudicating immigration court appeals. THEY SIMPLY HAVE NO ROLE, PERIOD. There was no basis for courts interfering in Trump 1.0's restrictions on visas from certain countries - none.

The "long game" is a way of saying allowing the derailment to continue and become worse, while (inshallah) eking out specific "wins" here and there.

Is that Khalil idiot still in the country? Hmm. So I guess, much as with the 2A, I'm just missing the fine print that in this case effectively negates the SecState's nominally plenary authority to revoke or deny visas.
