It is only a couple steps removed from executing someone and then making the victim’s family pay for the cost of the bullet and manhours
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.

Major grocery story in Ilulissat, Greenland not long ago
Tremendously expensive to ship in all this stuff. Subsidized prices for all staples—plus free medical care, education, etc. Subsidized by Denmark
Absolutely nuts to think Greenlanders would want US to take this over. Or that US would want to

Imagine paying for this, plus heavily militarizing the island... submarine defenses, space assets, digging massive tunnels, polar aircraft maintenance, etc... You think Afghanistan was a money suck? That's peanuts compared to the trillions of dollars this would cost - forever.

This is the same Russia that is going to "take Greenland" if we don't allow Trump to do it.
I’m back in Moscow…and back with the Russian newspapers which report on “Galloping Inflation. Food prices rise markedly [in Russia] since the start of 2026.” One paper links rising prices to a recent VAT hike to help finance Russia’s war in Ukraine. #ReadingRussia
"Galloping inflation. Russian food prices rise markedly in 2026" writes Russian paper.
