COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland?
NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

Scenes from occupied Minneapolis: "3 SUVs ICE officers driving down 21st to 42nd street. The ice officer rolled down his window and took a photo of me and said 'I got you motherfucker'. I am just a home owner going outside to see what was going on."

I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.

In the President's big speech at Davos, he keeps referring to America's need for Iceland. He came here to ask for Greenland.

If Europe found a way for him to save face and move on, great. But Carney's speech was still spoken and was still true. The bell has rung.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.

Public safety means stopping violent crime — not weaponizing ICE against our communities.
That’s why I'm proposing a bill that redirects nearly $75 billion from ICE to local law enforcement.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Hopefully Carney just shamed some of them to stop placating the clothesless Emperor, the pathetic, ignorant, lawless bully and unite. And if not the leadership, then the people to vote in who will.
