The Yankees were Pedro Martinez’ daddy.  Till they weren’t.

Sure hope no one calls him Daddy.   The TDSers on this board will lose their sh!t.  Then say they really aren't.

LOL

Eli Manning is Tom Brady's daddy.  Always will be.

Sorry, man.  I'll call Trump your daddy since it means that much to you.

LOL see?   You guys say it doesn't bother you.   Then when you're told you are lying, which you are, you continue.   Let it die.  Show everyone it really doesn't bother you by not engaging.  but you can't.  Liberals are emotional.  We all know this.  Heck even liberals know this.

It's also pretty creepy to act like Trump is your daddy on a message board for years.

It's also creepy how obsessed you are with pedos.  Like your hobby or something.

Dude....No...That was a pretty major thing.   You guys get upset over just about everything.

Just stop. I'm seeing people in the streets of my home state being beaten, targeted, shot, and arrested illegally. To me that's far more of a big thing than some nutjob murdering a political firebrand because it isn't a single event. It's systemic.

Frankly, if that doesn't upset you as an American, you really shouldn't be evaluating other people's feelings on these matters.

Ok listen.  The liberal emotional responses extend well beyond this issue.  This was my point.  You guys cry whine and clutch your pearls over everything.   Constantly.  As far as what you see in your home state, i wont get into the debate that has been absolutely debated to death.   But i feel if people didnt interfere with law enforcement, they would be better off

So many of them aren’t from your home state.

There are people interfering with ICE operations. They are wrong to do so. If they impede or assault those officers, they should be arrested and charged. 

That is NOT what is happening en masse. No need to go into further specifics since you're tired of the "debate."

Allow me to point you to the years 2020-2024, when the MAGA contingent turned every breath Biden took into a catastrophe, most of which was based on flat out lies or half-truths. I still haven't seen credible evidence of Joe receiving any illegal money from Hunter, but MAGA insists it's true. Maybe it is; show us the proof. They never do. Like, with anything. Libs hardly have the market cornered on irrational emotional response and to insinuate otherwise is intellectually lazy.

Meanwhile, every form of media is bombarded with actual evidence of what's going on in MN, but it's all the fault of the protestors? That dog don't hunt, my friend.

Again, saying Biden took money from Hunter isn't emotional.  You're missing the point.  Liberals get hurt...and I mean tears flowing hurt, over everything.  All the time.  TDS makes their brains turn into teen aged girls.

As far as MN, I haven't see anything of what you are saying.  Send me some.  I will look at it objectively.   But if I see a liberal spin on it I will honestly say so

There's a LOT on this page.  So a quick reply isn't possible.   The first one I saw was horrible.   Cops raining punches on that guys head while he was on the ground.  I know nothing about that story and there is now way in my mind that was justified.   Was it ICE?  Not sure.  In any case, those dudes should be jailed.

In another, there was a video of a "legal immigrant" who had a mashed up face.  There was a video, but it only showed the guy already n the ground.  I have no idea if he did anything, but if he put those officers at risk, he would and should be thrown to the ground and yeah, his face is gonna get messed up by the road there.

I'll keep looking around and see what else this guy is linking.  I thought, however, that you said you had seen all of this taking place in your home state.   This is not that.
