lastmanstandingShe's back in the Senate casting votes in her own favor. Can't make it up! Another illustration on how Democrats always form a solid front. No one goes their own way. That's the how and why they get shit done. Unfortunately its always the wrong shit that gets done.

The Senate twice cast roll call votes appealing Champion’s ruling that Nelson’s motion was out of order. Both of those procedural appeals were defeated on party lines, as no Democrats broke ranks and Mitchell cast votes in her own favor.

So which was it? She thought he was alive and ill or she knew he was cremated and wanted his ashes?
This is what happens when you lie.

I believe the assertion was she thought her step mother was sick and had alzheimers and was checking on her. Also she wanted her fathers ashes. But don't we always enter the house of a close relative through the basement window dressed as a burglar when we are doing a welfare check? But yes these are the responses you get from a desperate liar. She's guilty as she can possibly be. Her story radically changed from her initial comments to police and then once her lawyer showed up that's when the welfare check story came to life.

trapper189I'm heading over to my elderly father's house right now. I suppose if I didn't have a garage door opener, a key, the alarm code, and the pass code should I set the alarm off, I might choose to go later, dressed in black, and break a basement window to get in. Two problems with that. One, I'd get shot and number two is insurmountable: he doesn't have a basement.

Only while wearing all black, with a black sock over our flashlight, and entering through a basement window.
If the person we're checking on is alive, the best practice is to hide in basement.

jsawyer09I don't hate much in this life, but I despise this state. Well, the Twin Cities, mostly. Between the weather, the traffic and construction, the politicians and the passive-aggressive people (add to it, their unfriendly demeanor overall—-no Minnesota nice here, although I believe that to have originated in a facetious manner anyway)...I cannot wait until my youngest graduates high-school, then it's Texas or Florida for the Mrs. and me.

229DAKShe's OUT.
Link A Minnesota state senator announced she will resign as early as next month after being convicted on a burglary charge last week, her defense attorney confirmed.
Minnesota state Sen. Nicole Mitchell was found guilty of two criminal charges on July 18 stemming from a 2024 arrest, The Minnesota Reporter, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported.
Mitchell, 50, was convicted of first-degree burglary and possession of burglary tools in connection to a break-in at her stepmother's home in Detroit Lakes, a city in northeast Minnesota about 200 miles northwest of Minneapolis.
On July 22, Mitchell's attorney Dane DeKrey told USA TODAY his client will resign "no later than Aug. 4."
In the interim, DeKrey said the senator will use that time to wrap up outstanding legislative projects, train legislation staff and more.
"Senator Mitchell’s constituents deserve for her legislative projects to be finalized or ready to hand off to her successor before she resigns," according to a statement released by DeKrey. "Mitchell’s constituents also deserve to have their outstanding issues handled before her resignation... It was the honor of her lifetime to serve her District and the State of Minnesota."
Who is Sen. Nicole Mitchell? Mitchell, a Democrat, represents the cities of Woodbury and Maplewood. She is a former Lt. Colonel with the U.S. Air Force and a meteorologist.
Why was Sen. Nicole Mitchell arrested? Mitchell unsuccessfully tried to convince jurors she was in the home to conduct a welfare check on her stepmother. She took the stand during trial and told the jury her stepmother "was struggling with paranoia due to Alzheimer’s disease," the USA TODAY Network reported.
As of July 22, sentencing for Mitchell had not been set.
The lawmaker, who has no criminal history, faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for burglary and three years in prison for her other charge.
Mitchell's attorney said his client will appeal the burglary conviction.

ElToroThis clown Was convicted of 2 felonies and she gets to say I’ll still be in office another 2 weeks… WTF ?
Meanwhile in the real world somebody caught red handed on tape burglarising a place with their OJ beanie at 4AM would have no job the next day. Due process played out or not.
