Here's an idea. Stop using that deceptive Mercator projection of Greenland to illustrate stories about the Mad King's demands. Use an accurate quadrant map instead. Too many people believe that Greenland is a continent size land mass, instead of the island it is.

No one can be surprised by this. Their behavior makes it clear that nearly all ICE troops are gang members or washed out military or militia.

Interesting POV. I have ancestors who landed a boat in North America 400 years ago, and claimed they DID own the land. Is that no longer the case? Is Trump giving all "his" property back to the people my ancestors (not his ancestors) stole it from? Very Woke of him!
Trump on Greenland: “The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn’t mean they own the land.”

The rage that has to exist in the average Minnesotan to watch someone stuck on an icy hill and STAND BY AND TAUNT THEM
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

ICE was only created in 2003. Contrast that with USAID which was created in 1961 and was just dismantled.
We did fine without ICE and would again. In fact we did fine without DHS which was always a terrible idea, starting with the name.
Get rid of both.

you do not need a constitutional amendment to zero out ice's budget??
Of course, none of this is going to happen. Abolishing ICE is about as likely as fixing the electoral college.

“Dominant predator force” meant as a positive is kind of all you need to know about these sick freaks.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

They don't care about the victims, never have. They always protect the pedophiles and have for many years. I have seen first hand they always find a way to blame the victims for what happened to them.

The DoJ and FBI have had six years to verify the legitimacy of the letter. It was in their evidence files, implying that it has been verified. What have they been doing all these years?
this is insane to me. the doj had forever to look into this. now they're like liveblogging on x like they have no more information than a random person on social media

Also, a lot of descendants of slaves are, through those very ancestors, also descended from lots of high-status white American colonists of the 1600s and 1700s. Because slaveholders raped their slaves.

Every descendant of slaves has more American heritage than Trump. But I don’t imagine that figures large in the minds of most people using the phrase.

Reminder that in June, 2016, a suit (w/witnesses) was filed against Trump re: his repeated raping of a 13 year-old child at an Epstein party.
(She wasn't a "teen," in anything but the most technical of senses. She was a 7th, maybe an 8th grader.)
We've known he was a child rapist THIS WHOLE TIME.
