Stan: They seem to have no conscience and no scruples. After doubling down on all their indiscretions and violations the way they have, they seem to have reached a point of no return. People working in good faith with any regard for the Party or the community would not have let things get to this point. This is disturbingly bad.

Them Leftist Loons don't care if these other ones get kilt. That's why they are doing all this crazy stuff in the streets, like some have death wishes, and there are other Leftists are glad they do.

Good evening Mr. Hood. I hope this note finds you well.

I find it perplexing that we are engaging in this line of discussion. Whether our previous interaction occurred in a formal session is, in my view, irrelevant to my original post. My concern centered on your characterization of me as "irrelevant." I have never resorted to disparaging language toward those with whom I disagree. My intention was solely to clarify the procedures regarding the taking of minutes in accordance with Robert's Rules of Order and the Republican Party Rules of Organization. Your narrative included inaccuracies that I felt needed addressing. I trust that my insights on these rules were beneficial.

Respectfully

Anthony Fucito

I, for one, absolutely appreciate a devoted public servant such as yourself. In my world, government must do right and well by all of mankind, and following the good law is all important, and you young lady, you represent the law.

Van Zant: On full display, it is the hypocrite's code: Blame the other party for what you do without a second thought.

TBT: There are parts of this story that don't add up; I know how both sides can "play it up" BUT the County GOP is obviously projecting here....playing the victim.

It's funny how THEY, the infamous "Trinity of the County GOP", get alllll bent out of shape about someone refers to THEM as Nazis but have no issue with using direct Nazi terminology when they try to get them ol' Unaffiliated votes from Brabo's base!?!?

I would be curious to know if the GOP could provide accurate minutes and/or unedited video footage documenting this incident (for educational purposes and situational context). If so, the public could decide, not a select few, on the situation.

Unless proven otherwise, from what I've been able to gather, certain Republicans ARE acting as Nazis, from the dictatorial standpoint. It don't take Steve Jobs to figure this out.

Truth be Told, your name is still Truth be Lie. Your post on January 27 is 100 percent a lie.

CP: You're right. The Chairwoman is not removing people from the committee by the procedures of the Plan of Organization. She is doing these things unilaterally. She's abusing her power and is out of control. The Plan does not give her the power to be accuser, judge, and jury.

Additionally, the Plan does not give her (and her friends) the power to unilaterally make decisions and spend money without the permission of the Executive Committee.

Unfortunately, you spread such lies and hateful rhetoric. The Republican Party is a private organization. I was at this meeting and witnessed the illegal behavior of Hood Richardson, Ms. Clark, and Ms. Knight. I attend your meetings and the GOP meetings. During the January 8th meeting, 18 candidates spoke to the committee and attendees. It was an excellent meeting until your outburst and refusal to leave so the party could conduct business. The chair called for a recess so candidates could shake hands and attendees could pick up their signs. As I understand it, the GOP is a private organization (527). One of your club members yelled "Heil Hitler" while displaying the nazi salute. There is no place in the Republican Party or anywhere for such a hateful and disrespectful display. The chair has every right to call for a closed session to discuss party business. There is no reason for attendees to be subjected to your hateful discord.

Northerners raging over a US President marching federal troops into one of their cities. Very ironic when you look back and think on it. Pappy O'Daniel must be laughing hysterically sippin his mint julep over that one.

One need only look at how Barack Obama handled illegal immigration during his tenure as president. This included putting a presidential.Medal on Tom Holman, the head of ICE for deporting between around 5 million illegal aliens. And he's on record openly stating it.

Then one only has to look at the exact same policy under the Trump administration. Now it is front and center in the news, and there is open armed resistance in Minneapolis. But ICE is active in many cities throughout the United States. It appears only Minneapolis has significant problems. Including setting up, autonomous zones and essentially acting in open rebellion and insurrection against a federal agency. ICE falls under the Department of Homeland Security, which falls under the executive branch of the government which falls under the supremacy clause of the constitution, which means it has full and total rights and jurisdiction by the president.

At the same time, we have discovered massive fraud in Minneapolis and throughout Minnesota. Very unfortunate. But just when we started to examine fraud and waste in the government, the Democrats decided to burn Tesla's burn down Tesla dealerships, and once again openly engage in violent Ins insurrection, like activity to stop the investigation of fraud.

Minnesota and Minneapolis in particular is infested with fraud. So to detract away from the fraud, they are openly going after ICE agents. That's my take on it.

This is yet another wag, the dog movie directed by the Democrats designed with one intention only to influence the 2026 midterms with their lies and they're complicit lying media. The five-year-old boy was not kidnapped and used as bait. His father abandoned him in a -21° C car. His mother refused to accept them. That's the truth.

Renee Goode refused to comply with armed police, asking her to get out of her car, which was being used to actively block in ICE vehicles. That is an illegal activity. Did she comply with the police officers and step out of her car? No. She used your car she hit an ICE agent who went to the hospital with internal bleeding and she was shot and unfortunately killed.

Alex Pretti brings a 9 mm gun with an extra magazine into an active crime scene while filling it. Is it legal for him to carry the gun yes. He had supposedly a CC permit. But who walks into an active crime zone filming them while carrying a loaded gun? And what is the reason why he would do it. And where were the local police supporting the ice agents to make sure he would never even step off the sidewalk. He's allowed to carry his gun.

He's allowed to film them. But he can't walk up to them while they are in an active crime scene. When he was engaged by the police, did he fall to the ground immediately and say hey I'm carrying a gun don't shoot? No he actively resisted 5 ICE agents. Who does this? Now you see why the police instinctively followed your training and neutralized him? He did not state his intentions.

They have no idea who he is, but he's carrying a loaded pistol. Police officers are trained to draw on you before you even put your hand toward your gun. You are to tell an officer in advance that you have a gun on you if you're approaching a law officer while you're carrying. That's the law and that's just common sense.  that's what you do if you don't wanna get shot. The last thing I would do is resist arrest.

The governor of Minnesota and the mayor of Minneapolis are actively encouraging their citizenry to violently engage ICE agents in the attempt to interfere with their objectives.

This is because of the massive fraud that has been uncovered under their watch and the violent crime they allow in their city as a stated sanctuary city.

A sanctuary city is a city that is an open rebellion against the United States. They are declaring themselves above federal law. So by default they should receive no federal funding. If a state and a city can openly violate federal law, what laws can we have citizens choose to violate? I would say if my city is a sanctuary city then there should be a class action lawsuit to prevent us legal American citizens from paying any property taxes.
