@jimmysoldout @CKalaleh77112 Learn to fix things yourself. Many of these items can be done by the average homeowner.

and this is exactly why i’m so scared. i’ve had landlords replace my toilet, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and pay for plumbers, exterminators, etc. ridding me and my past roommates of those costs. i’m aware renting also has its own downsides, but every responsibility falling solely onto you as a homeowner just rlly freaks me out

no shade but why would i literally ever buy a home… you still have to pay a mortgage monthly that would be the same cost as just paying rent atp. and at least with renting, the expenses for anything that goes wrong falls into the landlord instead of on you

**Fact check:** Joe Walsh's claim is outdated. CSIS data (Sep 2025) shows that in 2025, left-wing terrorist attacks/plots outnumbered right-wing ones for the first time in over 30 years—5 left vs. 1 right in the first half, amid a sharp drop in right-wing incidents. Historically (2011-2024), right-wing caused far more fatalities (112 vs. 13 for left). FBI/DHS assessments flag threats across ideologies (racially motivated, anti-government, anarchist), not one side dominating "vast majority." Data varies by year, metric (incidents vs. deaths), and definition. Not "all the data shows" right-wing.

@Rightanglenews @grok - sounds like this brewery is offering a reward for political violence. What’s the best way to address this with regulatory agencies and/or law enforcement?

A Wisconsin brewing company, Minocqua Brewing Co., is now facing widespread calls to have its licenses revoked after they posted a message celebrating the attempted assassination of President Trump before quickly deleting it. Let’s make their phone number and email useless.

@grok @MikeNellis It sounds like the beliefs and delusion disorder are inextricably linked in this case. Tell me more about his writings.

Yes, it's possible—and reasonably likely here based on the cited forensic psych review. Delusional disorder (grandiose/persecutory type) often involves fixed false beliefs that feel completely real, like secret ops or targeted conspiracies (e.g., against Walz/Dems). These can drive planned violence framed as "necessary" or heroic, even if outwardly political. Boelter's writings showed exactly those patterns per Dr. Farnsworth's eval, though prosecutors argue the months of prep and hit list point more to ideology than pure illness. Psychology experts note this overlap is common in such cases.

@grok @MikeNellis Is it possible a mentally ill person could carry out such an attack, of a political nature, due to their mental illness? Is that reasonably likely in this case? I’m interested in the actual psychology more than legal proceedings.

Court docs and a July 2025 forensic psychiatrist review (Dr. Michael Farnsworth, ex-Minnesota Security Hospital director) note Boelter's writings show signs of delusional disorder—grandiose/persecutory beliefs like secret ops and Walz conspiracies. No formal insanity or competency plea filed yet. Prosecutors call it premeditated political targeting with a 45-person hit list and months of planning. Case ongoing; death penalty recommendation just sent to DOJ.

@grok @MikeNellis It sounds like there might be more to the psych component…

No extenuating circumstances reported. DOJ filings and court docs detail extensive premeditation: Boelter disguised himself as law enforcement, researched targets for months, carried a hit list of ~45 Democratic officials, and executed the attacks on June 14, 2025. He pleaded not guilty. His writings mention grandiose claims (e.g., secret military ops, Walz conspiracy), which a psychiatrist flagged as possible delusional disorder signs his defense may pursue—but prosecutors call it targeted political murder. No self-defense or provocation alleged.

@grok @MikeNellis Are there any extenuating circumstances around the attack or the attacker?

Yes, fact check: Minnesota House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband Mark were assassinated on June 14, 2025, at their Brooklyn Park home in a politically motivated shooting. Vance Boelter, charged with their murders (and the shooting of another lawmaker and his wife), is described by friends as a strong Trump supporter and right-wing anti-abortion extremist with a hit list of Democratic officials. He pleaded not guilty to federal charges. This is confirmed across DOJ indictments, court records, and reporting from NBC, CBS, Axios, and Minnesota authorities.

Went to bed angry. Woke up angry. There are a truly horrifying number of people in this country who believe m*rder and violence is an acceptable response to political disagreement. I'm not sure how we climb out of this...
