Why just in MN? Is a national day of protest possible?

This Board of Peace is confusing. Are its member individuals or nations? Has Congress authorized a $1 billion fee for membership? Where does the billion dollar fees from others go? Trump’s pocket? A Qatari bank? U.S Treasury? Asking for myself and everyone else who is confused.

Headline in today's WSJ:

"Trump Links Greenland Threats to Missing Out on Nobel Prize. U.S. president tells Norway he no longer needed to think ‘purely of peace’ "

Impeachment or 25th Amendment?

With Trump’s latest threat to take over Greenland, its time for Denmark to invite fellow NATO countries to join them in stationing troops in Greenland as a deterrence against a rogue US.

This isn’t about democracy. It’s about oil. Democracy is just the costume that regime change wears to look respectable.

Back in September of this year the Russians launched a missile into Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers building and attempted to assassinate Ukraine's Prime Minister in her office.

Why wasn't Trump "very angry" about this?

When I read the DOJ statement, I just thought, what clowns. But after a moment’s thought I am more incredulous and suspicious.

A million documents? When they’ve been on high alert for months? And DOJ and FBI do have filing systems. (That’s why they’re the Epstein FILES.)

Something’s rotten in DOJ.

Why does Trump want Greenland? “National security.”

Why should Trump’s ballroom vanity project proceed? “National security.”

Why is Trump killing the wind energy industry? “National security.”

Why does Trump hate the New York Times? “National security.”

The pattern is ... not subtle.
For the White House, ‘national security’ is becoming the answer to every question
Donald Trump and his team have a go-to tactic intended to shut down debate over their goals. It's not working.

The Trump administration believes that the rich and powerful should be pardoned for their crimes, even after judges and juries determined their guilt.

But if you’re a non-white guy in a fishing boat, there’s no need for a trial or even an arrest. Murder from above, no questions asked.
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

This absurd pardon shows the murderous boat bombings were never about stopping drugs

Meanwhile, Trump pardons ex Honduran president convicted of drug related crimes. So we will attack Venezuela as a narco state while pardoning another narco state’s president. Crazy!
The deranged madman now threatens to blow up commercial airliners flying in and out of Venezuela.

So, Hegseth illegally ordered everyone killed in the first alleged drug boat strike on Sept. 2, prompting a second hit to finish off survivors in the water. — This is the real reason why Trump & Hegseth absolutely freaked out about the video against illegal orders.

If Donald Trump wants to release the Epstein files, he could just release them, instead of green-lighting the House resolution.

And it's not as if he cares whether he has statutory authority to do a lot of what he's been doing.

But he needs a law for this?

Be ready for Trump to divert attention away from Epstein by starting a war with Venezuela or by some other lunacy.

This headline is journalistic malpractice. This isn't Epstein "alleging" that Trump knew. This is Epstein and Maxwell discussing - in 2011, long before Trump had political salience - how the FACT that Trump knew might play out

Both of them took as a given that this was a fact in a private email
