Emmer has always been an incompetent moron who can’t hold on to a seat that isn’t handed to him and doesn’t recognize he’s so meaningless that Trump and Trump’s circle don’t even know his name.
Then again, he did point out that waiters make $100K a year.

Re-assign them to the boundary waters-Canada border during winter where they see another human once every couple days and remind them that if they resign they have to pay back their $50K signing bonuses. Then fire them one year later.

MN was going to lose a seat in 2020, but they had the highest census response in the country, so they surprisingly kept it but will certainly lose it in 2030. The number of immigrants detained has as much of an effect on the loss as the number of guys named Gerome that moved to Suriname.

Venezuela’s oil and mineral infrastructure essentially has to be rebuilt because of how bad it is.
A decade or more of tens of billions of dollars every year before any ROI, assuming oil prices don’t decline (which they are) - billions they are expecting the US to cover.

Greenland seems like a great idea. I mean we can “take it over” pretty easy, but any company that proceeds to do anything will lose all European held assets and the ability to buy or sell with said continent.

Venezuelan oil problems are Iraq on steroids. The sites are in disrepair, unsecured, and badly designed. They’re going to require restarting them, securing them with a US army, and waiting half a decade for an ROI while the US spends hundreds of billions.

Some of these policies are so blatantly unlawful they’d lose a suit in ten minutes.
They’ve become so used to implementing bad policies to appease bigots, they’ve now duped themselves into rules so wide they guarantee lost mediation that apply to thousands of employees, not tens.
