2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work.

Really depraved shit.
A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

Things got dicey in Mordheim today. I've had my best win rate ever in this game. Skaven have been cleaning house.

I really hope someone on the Dem side starts hammering real patriotism and calling out the hypocrisy of the Right's claim to it.
Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

He's already got NATO deploying AGAINST the US. Even if that's as far as it ever goes that's irreparable harm to the alliance.
Putin cannot defeat or destroy NATO.

But Trump can tear it apart for him.

And he will.

Because if you buy a book about French armor you should have more than one French tank. I'm interested to get to these because the pre war French camouflage schemes are pretty out there. Pink? Lavender? Sure, why not!

Every time I see Alf I think of Torrian Gray. I just hope he's okay. Sometimes when he opened up it sounded like he was really going to have a hard time with *waves hands at everything*.

Just found out we're off work Monday and that's a nice Friday surprise.

Putting aside the constitutional violations, they just made a guy a GoFundMe millionaire by pointing out that he flipped off Trump and called him a pedo so I don't know if this will work the way they think.
They're going to start using the Kirk witch hunt strategy.

Still waiting for some "journalist" or Trump mouthpiece to explain what happens to 100,000 or so cut-off US soldiers currently stationed in NATO countries when we're at war with...NATO
It will split the Republican Party, cost them the Senate, and no annexation measure will pass Congress.

US troops will be stranded there until the next POTUS withdraws them. NATO will be dead, but Trump will have gotten nothing for the effort.

It will be a catastrophe for both him and the nation.
If Trump invades Greenland, the Europeans won't fight back, Republicans will defend it, Democrats will issue statements, there will be protests, and most Americans will disapprove of it enough to earn Democrats a bit more of the vote in November. Then on to the next thing.

I wonder if when Sweden joined NATO a few years back they expected to be deploying against the United States. More power to them though. NATO standing up to him is the only thing that might save us now that he's on this Venezuela high.
It's finally happening.

The Swedish prime minister just announced that a pan-European force is arriving in #Greenland as we speak.

No word yet on whether UK forces are among them.

The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"
January 14, 2026 at 2:58 PM
It is absolutely necessary they stand up to this because actually encountering pushback is when Trump turns into a piss baby.

He's really going to do this and everyone around him is going to let him blow the international order to pieces rather than impeach him
China or Russia conquering part of a NATO member is only plausible if the U.S. decides to ignore its responsibilities as a NATO member.

I've spent a lot of time in the Twin Cities during the winter. All I can say is, "welcome to Minnesota, ICE"

Incredible that the Democrats now have their own Joe the Plumber only instead of a plumber it’s an autoworker and instead of taxes on small businesses his issue is “the president seems to be covering up for a ring of pedophiles.”
“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.”

Trump makes obscene gesture, mouths expletive at Detroit factory heckler
A cellphone video captured Trump twice mouthing “f--- you” and raising his middle finger toward a line worker shouting at him inside the Ford factory.

you don’t hate the press enough.

The first time mother fucker has seen anything he's asked about and of course he's fucking lying
Mike Johnson on Renee Good: "This woman was taunting ICE officers. She was impeding law enforcement. She was violating a number of laws. They were very patient ... what I saw was she hit the accelerator and hit the ICE officer and he reacted in a split second."
January 13, 2026 at 4:39 PM
Again, not asking Democrats to impeach Trump because I know how to count but y'all gotta stop voting for his judges and funding his unconstitutional shit. You have to stop being buddies with "my friend across the aisle". Fuck them!
Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.
January 13, 2026 at 12:28 PM
Abolishing ICE, barring all of them from future government and law enforcement jobs and prosecuting most of them for terrorizing everyone they come in contact with.....is the moderate position.
ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot… 🤬
