Trump: "We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not because if we don't it, Russia or China will take over Greenland. If we don't do it the easy way we're gonna do it the hard way."

For decades, cops have been trained not to shoot at moving vehicles.
Instead, they are taught to do something much safer for everybody involved: Get out of the way. But the federal agents enforcing President Trump’s mass deportation campaign seem to be taking a far more dangerous path.

Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.
Immigration agents have shot at least nine people since September. All of them have been in cars.

Manufacturing is effectively in a recession, losing jobs every month since April, for a total loss of 72,000 jobs.
Since April, essentially all private sector job gains have been in health care: health care added 306,000 jobs over that period, while the private sector overall added just 300,000.

As a principled libertarian, I believe that anyone who doesn't immediately do what ICE says should be shot dead. And as a principled states' rights advocate, I believe that the federal government should not allow states to prosecute these shootings.
