It is important to say aloud the words "The president might invade Greenland because he doesn't understand Mercator projection map distortions and he thinks Denmark's government won't get him a Nobel Peace Prize."
This is a real statement. These is our lives.

European forces were deployed to deter us, and this has led the tariff otaku to press the tariff button. The fact that this deployment not only happened but triggered retaliation tells me there's smoke here. The US not readying an attack *due to to an armed deterrent* is not a nothingburger.
I mean right now the US has no troops deployed in any position *to* attack and hasn't begun the process, so there's nothing to stop unless we later find out that the orders were given and actually stopped by the officer corps. Which would be wonderful, because that'll be relevant to 'kill the civs'.
My Greenland prediction:
1.) The U.S. won't attack.
2.) It won't attack because it was stopped.
3.) It being stopped will be used to tar people urgent about it being stopped as hysterics

Four GOP Senators.
At most four Repubs in the House.
Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.

I've increasingly come to view cynicism as the seedbed of totalitarianism, both because it can paralyze the opposition and because it implicitly validates the might-makes-right ethic of the authoritarian.
i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

This is an answer nobody would ever accept from a democrat. A democrat who gave this answer would be ruthlessly mocked until the end of time. Yet Trump and Republicans get away with it without so much as a follow-up.
Q: Can you explain how your healthcare plan will affect premiums?
TRUMP: It's a tremendous thing. It's called the great healthcare plan. And we're gonna get tremendous, uh, reductions through, uh, if you look at prescription drugs, they're gonna come down by numbers that have never been seen before

I'm confident that Trump would much prefer killing and abducting people off the street with no opposition, no videos, no media coverage, and no damage to his poll numbers
I must disagree with Tim Walz's theory that "Trump wants a show."
A more straightforward explanation is that he wants violent repression of immigrants, nonwhite people, and anyone who stands with them. Which is why he's doing that.
It's making a show. Lying down and taking it wouldn't change that.
