Trump: "I'm a fan of Denmark too. They've been very nice to me. But the fact that they had a boat land there [Greenland] 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land. I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also."

So if either Russia or China tried to annex Greenland it would be an act of war. So this crazy idea that the US needs to annex Greenland to prevent that happening is a nonsense.

Trump:
"We are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not because if we don't do it - Russia or China will do it. And we're not going to have Russia or China as a neighbour."
Russia is already a neighbour of the United States via Alaska.

In 2023, two cops knocked at the door of Tupe Smith, a humble volunteer at the school in her small Alaska town. They handcuffed her in front of her young kids and took her to jail 72 miles away, where she was ordered naked and searched. She cried; she had no idea she’d broken any law.

This is why a lot of this ICE harrassment and shooting is happening, he’s allowed a lot of right-wing yahoos to join federal law enforcement to then be let loose in Democrat voting states and cities.
It’s voter intimidation on a scale never seen before, he just wants power.

Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

UK right to weigh diplomacy before ‘calling out’ allies on international law breaches, says attorney general
Exclusive: In first comments since US attack on Venezuela, Richard Hermer refrained from singling out Trump administration
Nations are right to consider diplomatic relations when deciding whether to “call out” breaches of international law, the attorney general has said, after the UK government faced criticism over its reluctance to condemn the US attack on Venezuela.
In an interview with the Guardian, Richard Hermer, the government’s most senior law officer and a close ally of Keir Starmer, said that in a “complicated and dangerous” world, leaders should be able to use “statecraft” to consider other factors when establishing whether to hold allies to account.

This is incredible. It's the opposite of exculpatory. It's now even clearer that the killing was not at all justified, he was in no sense whatsoever in any serious danger, and indeed it looks very much like the shooting was retribution and nothing more.
🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.
They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Democrats should demand the dismantling of ICE, congressional hearings into its operations and prosecution of its worst offenders, but at the VERY least they must refuse to spend our tax money to fund these masked goons who are terrorizing our communities.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.
