We need to get people who think like this out of power.
It's particularly hair-raising to me to discover that Greenland is over 80% indigenous. The United States does not have a history of kindness to indigenous populations.

Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

Rs voted 16 million times to repeal the ACA; now they're on the verge of doing it. Same with Roe v. Wade, and they've killed it.

I think that a D president should ruthlessly enforce the law, prosecute everyone implicated in the overthrow of the republic to the fullest extent of the law and similarly prosecute corruption and civil rights violations.
Corruption is the problem; it's corruption they should address.

No, she's appealing to the gutter racism of the Republican base, and smearing pretty much every non-white person in the country.

Glad you don't listen to them. I'm a public defender and also have no escape. Other people's trauma will absolutely burn you out if you don't set boundaries. Like they tell you on the airplane - put your own oxygen mask on first.

Yes - thank you.
People expect strategic thinking from their government. This governments thinking is more on the level of, "Bash them until they give me money."

Nobody in the Trump administration who is even close to having decision making power has even thought that far ahead.
"Bash them until they give money." is about as sophisticated as they get.

Exactly that - he wants to loot the country then burn it to the ground.
And he'll do the exact same thing to the United States.

I read them all a while ago. I didn't like the smug anti-theism nor the anti-Narniaism of the author, but the books were ok. Well written, had an interesting world, and probably a bit less anti-church than what I might write if I were able to write.
They're no threat to Lewis in my heart.

Trump doesn't understand... well, much of anything but force, and he's deeply suspicious of what he doesn't understand.
He's been given a very big stick, and he's going to use it to bash the whole world until it buries him in money.
That's probably the entire game plan.

He doesn't have a lot of sophistication.
He hasn't hired anybody with a lot of sophistication.
(Miller's no exception. Miller is just deeply committed to white supremacy, and sees the world through that lens. Miller's MO is to bash the nation with a stick until it's white again - hence DHS.)

The game plan is probably something like: Give me a whole bunch of money or I'm going to drop bombs on you.
I would be surprised if Trump was thinking anything beyond: if the next president of Venezuela doesn't play ball, we'll kidnap them, too.
