Also tariff otaku being forced to find his body pillow because being big and tough didn't work is actually a major climb down and as long as we remain in the realm of tariffs, this is a handle-able problem.

It's worth noting that the president cannot just say "I declare tariffs" like "I declare bankruptcy" - he will need to sign something, declare the authority, blah blah blah. Then it will get challenged in court and probably shot down after what's coming from SCOTUS shortly.
Trump just placed a tariff on most of the EU of 10% that will increase to 25% in June unless they agree to sell him Greenland.
This is mad king shit.

Trump says he'll impose a 10% tariff (rising to 25% in June) on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, because they've sent people to Greenland, until the US can buy Greenland.

Does Trump understand that the "insurrection Act" is a law thats intended to stop an insurrection? Because he seems to think he can use it to create his own insurrection.

Very curious what the long-term ripple effects of this ICE occupation will be. Many very privileged people have stepped up to prevent their own government from disappearing their non-white neighbors and have now confronted inequalities and social problems they never would have experienced firsthand.

people gotta chill out about making normative vs. descriptive claims. it’s tedious to have to specify “of course, I do NOT support fire” if you’re talking about a house burning down.

![Trump to Impose Tariffs on Some European Nations Over Greenland
By Kevin Whitelaw
01/17/2026 11:27:04 [BN]
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump
announced a 10% tariff on European countries rallying to Denmark's side in his pursuit of Greenland.
Trump threatened in a social media post to impose the tariff Feb. 1 and raise the tariff to 25% in June unless "a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland."
The tariffs will apply to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, he said.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

And why are they all such whiners about being followed and watched instead of welcomed? Did they expect people to line the streets and cheer and applaud for them?

Deputy HHS Secretary Jim O'Neill says on Fox that he personally went to Minnesota to investigate fraud but makes clear he found nothing, instead complaining that "a woman in a fancy car spotted us, gave us an unfriendly gesture and actually followed us for about 10 minutes."

A thought, looking forward, at the strategy of the anti-Trump coalition, given the pattern we've seen, DHS will begin probably soon, drawing down forces in Minneapolis and going to harass some other place.
It'll be useful to frame this as 'ICE defeated' and a 'retreat' - they are 'fleeing.'
