Rather than depending on lunatic Putin for Russian gas or lunatic Trump for American gas, perhaps Europe should develop its own domestic power supply and be free of lunatics entirely.

Half a million Americans died prematurely from 1999-2020 due to breathing air pollution from coal power plants.
These were preventable deaths. After emissions controls were installed, mortality dropped sharply.
EPA's now saying preventing those deaths has no value.

The idea that America needs to occupy Greenland because we actually care enough about native people and want to build oncology centers is enough to make your head fully explode
Waltz: "Denmark has ignored Greenland from a defense standpoint and they have ignored the Greenlandic native iniut people ... if you get a cancer diagnosis in Greenland right now, it's darn near a death sentence. Denmark has not invested in the way it should've over the years."

Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

To expect anyone to be able to prove citizenship on demand is obscene.
To expect it of a sixth grader is completely through the looking glass. When I was that age I had a hard time not losing my gloves, but kids of color are supposed to carry passports at all times?
