Trump's 'we'll take Greenland any way we can' threat makes it very very clear about what his administration thinks of Taiwan's sovereignty. And Ukraine's. And if I were South Korea I'd be nervous. #Greenland is the tip of the iceberg.

We don’t “need” Greenland.

Looking back over the day’s events, I found it interesting that my reflexive response to the Trump/Vance/Zelensky debacle was not to post on Bluesky but to call my Congressman.
Good. That means I’m learning.
Making that call should be our ‘new normal’.

My experience calling Mike Lawler's office just now:
First, it took 3 tries to speak to a person. I wasn't letting this one go to voicemail.
I barely made it through my first sentence when I was asked if I was calling about Trump/Zelensky.
It was clear: THEY WERE ALREADY GETTING ANGRY CALLS.

Donald Trump just helped free Andrew Tate from his rape and human trafficking charges.
Tate has bragged about grabbing women by their necks, breaking their jaws, and said “I am absolutely a misogynist.”

Got this from a panicked friend in DC. If he loses his govt job (a year from retirement) he will lose his house. He said there’s no way he can sell when the market looks like this. Google “Black Swan”. We’re in for some serious financial problems.

Almost immediately, China stepped in to aid Cambodia instead. Besides humanitarian costs here, how does any of this serve US interests?
