It's hilarious that there are still Conservatives who can't accept that they'd get 98% the world/life they want by getting in line behind center-left Democrats as a basically unstoppable (in terms of size) voting coalition but CAN'T because exactly 2% of "what they want" is "Never see Black people"

The Trump disbelief that the Norwegian govt doesn't control the Nobel process is deeply indicative of his thinking. He can't conceive that an institution could (or should) be genuinely independent of coercion or political power. That's the change he represents.
Trump: "I should have gotten the Nobel prize for each war...I saved millions and millions of people...and don't let anyone tell you that Norway doesn't control the shots. It's in Norway. Norway controls the shots. It's a joke. They've lost such prestige.“

In some cases, literally the same people.
The ICE goons are the same type of people who attacked the Capitol on J6. They are violent thugs who enjoy hurting people and destroying anything good. They have no redeeming qualities. They are Nazis.

Shouldn't there be some ranting about fluoridation?
This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Thread. (Cheerful disclosure: Started out writing fanfic, more than 50 years ago. Haven’t stopped.) 😄
I actually had a discussion about this yesterday. The hate for fanfiction has 4 components:
1) It directly defies capitalism. Capitalism tells us that only things that are profitable are of worth. Most fanfic is free and so people equate free to bad. 🧵 #fanfiction

“Since you didn’t give me a peace prize I declare war on you” is the ultimate “you called me racist too many times, now I am racist”
![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

"Can't"?
Clearly incorrect.
_Shouldn't_, now, there's another matter.
I'd grant "can't ethically", if I thought ethics entered into it for these people.

For the same reason ICE is targeting people who aren't violent.
Question in Copenhagen: why is Trump focussed on a Russian threat that doesn't exist (in Greenland) as opposed to one where it does (Ukraine)?
