Heartlanders picked up a scent in the frigid air and followed it to the curious case of Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Gopher State Governor (for now) Tim Walz, and what certainly seems to be their future plan to play musical chairs. But that wasn’t all that had folks talking – and even laughing out loud. Hillary Clinton popped her head back up and – seeing her shadow – predicted another six weeks of folks listening to her rant and rave about Donald Trump and his administration.
As Mark Pendleton in West Lebanon, IN, says, “Weird times we’re living.”
Sen. Klobuchar launched her campaign to become governor of Minnesota this week. But with every attempt to grasp a high-profile public office comes the unearthing of buried transgressions. How does one bury tens of billions of dollars in fraud in the Gopher State? Well, real gophers are burrowing rodents. But the deal that Minnesotans are now concerned about is a back-room back scratching that voters are prone to loathe. The word is that if Klobuchar is successful, she will appoint Tim Walz to fill her seat in the Senate. Nice work if you can get it, as the song goes. Reggie Baxter in Warrenton, MO, sees Governor Walleye as in the net already: “The walz are closing in on him…”
Minnesota voter Doug Sorenson seemed defeated: “Let’s elect another Democrat. We can get that 9 billion higher and get more illegal immigrant criminals in our state.”
But back to hidden transgressions: In 2019, The New York Times reported that Klobuchar ate a salad with a comb after an aide dropped her fork during a 2008 flight. That’s weird enough, but then she reportedly demanded the aide go and wash said comb. More concerning, however, is a 2020 story from The Washington Post reminding Minnesotans that Klobuchar “declined to bring charges in more than two dozen cases in which people were killed in encounters with police” during her time as Hennepin County attorney. Instead, she “aggressively prosecuted smaller offenses” that “have been criticized for their disproportionate effect on poor and minority communities,” the Post reported.
Michael Tidholm, in Bloomington, MN, observed: “Great – perfect for Mn.” And in Mound, MN, Mark Wagner offered: “Unfortunately, she will probably be the next governor of Mn., the Dems need more time to completely ruin a beautiful state.”
Madam Hillary Clinton popped back into our newsfeeds with the alarming timing of Punxsutawney Phil to see if people are paying attention. It was a doozy. And someone remind us, please, if America ever saw Hillary with a Bible during the many campaigns for president. Hot sauce yes, Bible no. Well, she has either been in seminary night class since November 2016 (possibly focusing on sacramental wine), or she is being advised on what might work in rural areas and the important swing states.
Susan McChesney in Grand Junction, CO, said: “I think she got Christian and Coven confused.” In New Mexico, Rhonda Vega Emanuel commented: “I don’t know what was said after ‘Christians like me’ I couldn’t see because I was crying laughing so hard.”
Some folks felt a come-to-Jesus meeting with the woman of the people should happen sooner rather than later. Douglas Gordan, reeling with the crazies in his state of Minnesota, had to chuckle: “I bet that even made God laugh a little bit.” Or, as Portland, MI, Kelly Griffin stated, “Even Satan chuckled over this.”
