Her succesor Tom Emmer is about as big of a piece of poo poo as she is, as well as being a repeat DUI offender. Hopefully he's kicked out sooner than later so Anoka can stop being such a blight on the rest of the state.

If he got kicked out, they'd find just as big of a piece of poo poo to replace him. If the DFL won there, it'd be far and away the most Republican district in the country to go Democrat, so whoever wins the Republican primary would have to be a special kind of horrible to not win the seat, and the severe partisan lean is the kind of thing that rewards notorious pieces of poo poo in the House. Hell, they didn't have a problem with Emmer's DUIs or him repeatedly sponsoring legislation to reduce the penalties for DUIs when he was in the state House, if anything, it seems like his status as a notorious piece of poo poo helped him, since he won that district by 18%.

My favorite is the time she decided not to run for reelection because the Democrat she barely beat when he had no money was challenging her again and was gonna get a bunch of funding, so she decided not to run rather than get voted out of her heavily Republican district.

part of why she didn't run was because "In 2013, Bachmann was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, the Federal Election Commission, the Iowa Senate Ethics Committee, the Urbandale Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation because of alleged campaign finance violations in her 2012 campaign for President." (from wikipedia)

i disagree with tom emmer on many, many things, but i give him credit for not being a complete embarrassment to my state. and he has done good outreach work among the Somali immigrant communities in his district & Minnesota as a whole

edit: i do kind of wish bachmann was still being loud around the time the bird siege happened. im sure she would have had lots of wisdom to share :allears:

Now the obligatory question: what does Fiore's niece think of Fiore?

Strangely a lot for the amount that she enjoyed medical weed(for her pain so its ok) and any other party drug in vogue. Talks a lot of poo poo and got her job due to family connections with the local administration. I snapped at her two weeks at the end of burning man after she got our camp lead arrested by the cops on entry because she took no precaution wrapping the weed she brought and didn't fess up. (exposing the shitload of properly packed drugs that don't alert dogs like dank weed he was carrying for the camp).

Aka "I almost brought all my guns and joined them, they are true patriots." I don't think she is camping with that camp again.

Ok, so if you favor gun regulations, dislike republicans, work for the federal government or think the Malheur occupation was "stupid" you are biased and should not be allowed on the jury. It seems that would leave a very specific subset of the population to draw the jury from.

Ideally the jurors wouldn't have heard about it at all so would have no opinion. The only thing that would've been better is if the jurors all came from Burns.

It sounds like this hearing was for preemptive challenges for cause based only on the juror questionnaire, which is a crazy high burden to meet but a relative time saver if they can somehow meet it. For example, a juror who straight up hated the Bundy's getting dismissed for medical reasons. The State could likely have rehabilitated that juror and forced the defense to burn a not-for-cause challenge, but the judge threw the defense a bone and they process it as Tyranny.

I also love the mindless repetition of "known bad" phrases and mixed messaging. Allowing a pretrial hearing like this is the opposite of a Kangaroo Court which would need to go up and down quickly and without due process. Immediately after complaining that they aren't getting a fair hearing she complains about the cost of the process, which lol, because we have a word for a quick, cheap trial.

Ryan Bundy: I want to defend myself.
Judge: Okay, if that's what you really want.
Ryan Bundy: I am not a boat!
Judge: That's meaningless nonsense.
Ryan Bundy: You can't judge me - I am not a boat!
Judge: That's enough of that. Let's get on with business.
Ryan Bundy: But I am not a boat!
Judge: Stop saying that.
Ryan Bundy: Seriously, I am not a boat!
Judge: Stop saying that or else.
Ryan Bundy: I AM NOT A BOAT!
Judge: Alright, you have been warned. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't take your toys away?

Any bets that the response is going to be "I am not a boat!"?
