Trump Blurts Out Dark Truth About Venezuela Plan—and About MAGA Voters
To some critics, it’s about plunder. To others, it’s about hemispheric hegemony. Actually, it’s about both.

One thing that people who don't understand this space at all will get wrong. Polymarket is not the sportsbook. Polymarket takes a fee to facilitate peer to peer betting. Polymarket is not protecting themselves here, seems they are actively protecting certain bettors.
Polymarket is disputing that the US mission to capture Nicolás Maduro constituted an "invasion", refusing to pay out bets on a contract with $10.5M in wagers (Financial Times)

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"

Even if this were not explicitly prohibited by the United States Constitution, it means we kidnapped Venezuela's President and are now extorting money with the threat of future harm.

TUBERVILLE blocks resolution condemning the 1/6/2021 attack.
He claims w/o evidence that 1/6 was actually a "coup" by Democrats, Nancy Pelosi and the Deep State against Trump, claiming tampering with election results & said they infiltrated the crowd to stir up trouble. "This has all been proven."

They are also cowards that are afraid of Elon and Trump. Just complete and total cowards.
one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

There's a persistent myth that the cops "let people in."
It's nonsense.
There's extensive evidence that rioters knew they were breaking the law.
Here's one of the rioters making a call, knowing that she might need to be bailed out of jail.

100%. United States is going to invade 2 separate countries in the matter of months (depending on how long this takes). Just truly fucking dystopian. After Greenland they will turn to somewhere else, my money would be on Cuba or Mexico.
Greenland is happening. Not a joke, not trolling, not a distraction. He has already made up his mind and nobody who matters in the inner circle will try to talk him out of it. Some of them want it precisely because it will destroy NATO. There are no adults in the room. They really mean to do it.
