I'm about to pull a Ned here but I've seen people claiming that local police can't arrest federal agents and, candidly, I'm not interested enough to research and find out.

I think either way, though, it'd be reasonable for local police to have some trepidation about doing so and their boss telling them to do it may remove some of that trepidation. And since we know all enforcement is effectively selective, this serves as a priority update.
if you're "pulling a ned", does that mean you're coming out from the dark side? Or is this just a temporary "seeing the light"

Neither, fortunately or not. Just acknowledging that at this moment in time I'm not going to dig into this one topic. I'm tired.

been there. You know, communication loses a lot when done via emails, social media boards etc. You get a chance to communicate, but can't experience the facial or body expressions and as a result, you're not really sure how the other interprets your words..because in our language and due to our individual upbringings different words have different meaning to people. It's like, I know what I meant when I said it, but I don't know how you interpreted it.

The underlying thing is that things pass..and then we move on to the next.

OK now I am changing subjects, I'm pretty sure you have been following the Epstein files, not as actively as @firegiver but...
did you see the story today that Gislane Maxwell has come out with a statement that 25 men had reached settlements with victims. It wasn't reported, but I'd assume that NDAs are part of the settlements and that, IMO, may be why none of them have come forward and why they are so demanding in the redacting of Epstein documents (just supposition on my part)

I actually haven't been following the Epstein files very much. Not because I don't think it's important to hold pedophiles accountable or anything (I obviously do). I just don't really have any optimism that it'll amount to anything. Also I'm just not sure what could be in there that would move someone from one political camp into another (and I'm more interested/concerned with national politics than I am individual criminals).

The Minnesota stuff seems to have broken through in a way that gives me some hope that people will change their voting patterns for until Trump is gone.

I'd love it people who vote against Trump but for the GOP generally would recognize that the GOP they keep voting for does virtually nothing to curb Trump's worser impulses (again though, the Minnesota stuff seems to be changing that) and would vote differently until that element is stamped out of the party.
