“President Trump was supposed to be reinstated today, but the Dominion funded antifa deep state once again meddled pushing the date back until 9/11.” - Mike Lindell, Aug 15, 2025 ---

Not yet. But I fully expect something very similar come 2025. That can is getting kicked down the road for years. ---

This is the second time in recent memory that the Minnesota GOP has been rocked by scandal - from Wikipedia Sutton has served as the chairman of the Republican Party of Minnesota since July 1, 2009, when he succeeded [Ron Carey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Carey_(Minnesota_politician)) in the role.[[2]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Sutton#cite_note-2) Tony Sutton was found guilty of circumventing Finance Laws by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board which imposed $33,000 in fines against him and the fund he created to help with the Gubernatorial Election Recount of 2010.[[3]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Sutton#cite_note-3) Amid mounting evidence of party financial disarray, Sutton announced his resignation effective at 5pm, Friday, December 2nd, 2011 on [Twitter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter) at 4:45 pm that day.[[4]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Sutton#cite_note-4) ---

knowing them? it will be both. “Help us avenge Trump and reinstate him”. These guys are past masters at cognitive dissonance. ---

Also Ron DeSantis got slapped by the courts [again.](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/judge-blocks-florida-governors-order-banning-mask-mandates/ar-AANOAPl?li=BBnb7Kz). It’s kind of hard to keep track, this has happened so much, but it seems that a Circuit Court judge ruled that he overstepped his authority by forbidding schools to issue mask mandates. The article is full of scadenfreude-y comments by the judge as to why DeSantis has not a microscopic speck of legal ground to stand on to defend his actions. ---
