This is a very big deal. And Powell is a mensch. If democracy survives, he should get a presidential medal of freedom.

In addition to being stupid and crazy, Our President is a little bitch and wants you to know it.
Little bitches make shit happen, and when he has his own show as Real Houewives of Palm Beach he will let you know it.

(NYT) - President Trump is now claiming that one reason he is pushing to acquire Greenland is that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, according to a message he sent to Norway’s prime minister over the weekend.

US stock and bond markets are closed today. However, there is limited futures trading. Futures on both stock indices and Treasury bonds are lower. The USD is also lower. There is no US safe haven.

This is last April and tariffs all over again. Trump doesn’t have the minerals to take the market reaction to an invasion of Greenland. But the market knows that and therefore doesn’t collapse on incremental signals he is moving that way.

Folks, if Richard Hanania now wants to fight the administration, racism and fascism, you let him do it and don't grind his nose in all the shit he did to make it happen until after the fight is won.
You don't trust him, you don't rely on him. But you don't shit on his claimed conversion. Yet.

Basically the only way to guarantee the US has no ability to use Greenland in the medium term is for the US to try and belligerently take it

They've changed their faces to please the patriarchy. It's not about what types of women those patriarchal men personally prefer; it's about showing those men that they are willing to submit. And it's a specific kind of look. It shows their willingness to be controlled.

I've heard rumors that Philadelphia is next for the ICE invasion after Minneapolis.
Maybe I'm wrong, but
1) More than 11% of all ICE agents are in Minneapolis, and they've utterly failed to pacify the city.
2) Philly is 5x the size of Minneapolis.
3) "Minnesota nice" is a thing. We don't have that.

You would think that some moderately competent journalist could hit the angle that these ICE agents are openly sporting tattoos from groups that the FBI has designated as white supremacist and domestic terrorist and pressure for them to be fired. You would think that some elected officials

This is aggravating, because on the one hand I think it's really important to give fascists an off-ramp and positive reinforcement when they use it...
