Summary

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz Tim Walz warns that Trump may soon arrest political opponents and potentially groom one of his sons, likely Donald Jr., as a successor.

“It’s going to get very dark,” Walz told CNN, citing Trump’s defiance of a judge’s order on Venezuelan migrants and calls to impeach a federal judge as evidence of authoritarian tendencies.

He expressed concern that Democratic leaders underestimate Trump’s authoritarianism and public frustration with both parties.

Walz criticized Schumer’s handling of the GOP spending bill and questioned how Democrats will rebuild institutions damaged by Trump.

    Immigrants are being loaded onto planes and shipped off to places they probably won’t return from - without having even been accused of a crime, much less tried in court. Supporters of the president don’t care because they’re immigrants.

    Now swap “immigrants” with “jews”, “planes” with “trains”, and “president” with “chancellor”, and what do you get?

        Actually, the supposed Venezuelan gang (assuming it really was and wasn’t just some people who were inconvenient), why did they send them to El Salvador and not Venezuela?

          the Salvadorian prison is profiteering from this.

          From what I’ve heard, none of them have been confirmed to be gang members, and around half have been confirmed to not be gang members.
