This has been driving me bananas.
I know it's ancient history now, but it's worth remembering that Greenland was not mentioned once -- Once! -- during the campaign. It came up immediately after the election and the media started treating it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?

As long as federal agents behave in a lawless manner, I'm not sure I see the utility in elected leaders telling residents to remain calm and peaceful.
They should be telling *ICE* and *CBP* to remain calm and peaceful. If the feds are unable to control themselves, then whatever happens happens.

I wish but this is exactly what Amazon said when we all deleted our Prime when they put the NRA channel on streaming. "Just wait there may be a resolution soon."
It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

FEDWATCH: “.. The standoff between the Fed and the President has reached a new crisis level .. an unprecedented attack on the Fed's independence, which risks undermining the stability of the dollar and Treasuries, and may lead to a significant flight out of dollar assets.”

On 1/11/26, (ICE) and (CBP) in St. Paul, Minnesota, broke the window of an activist at a gas station. They then forcibly removed him from his car and abducted him while simultaneously firing pepper balls at other community members.

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

This Jerome Powell thing is insane. And I'm not like some huge fan of his.
But when the economy is in the shitter, not great that you start a war that spooks investors.
Just pure revenge at this point.

Since taking office, Trump has used the military against Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Nigeria, and Venezuela, while threatening Canada, Colombia, Greenland, and Mexico. The "Peace President" with the "America First" slogan is spending billions attacking and policing the world.

In theory, I'm not opposed to an agency that is focused on responsibly and Constitutionally enforcing immigration and customs laws. I'd reckon the overwhelming number of people aren't opposed. This current ICE ain't that though. So no THIS ICE should not exist.
The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose
