Trump IS bamboozled about Greenland, it is NOT a huge country. It appears large because it is displayed using a Mercator projection (created in 1569 by Geradus Mercator for navigation). Mercator maps distort land area nearest the poles. A problem when flattening a globe. truesizeofcountries.com

How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

I had a business law professor tell me the only real legal difference between me and a corporation was the corporation couldn't vote. They could do all the other legal things I could like own property etc and they even a tax ID number so the government could tax them. But they can't vote.

Trump's DOJ released Epstein files with 28 victim names unredacted after promising anonymity. Victims in "widespread panic" over exposure. Meanwhile, 100+ pages vanished from files, Trump's name scrubbed by 1,000 FBI agents. They protected him, exposed his victims. Intentional cruelty.
