Trump says ‘my own morality’ is the only limit to his global powers, and since he’s a guy who likes to sexually assault teenage girls that resemble his own daughter I would like to invite the rest of the world to freak the f*ck out.

The Minneapolis pastor had observed "ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic" and insisted they take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” trib.al/k06XIZQ

Why Greenland?
"Peter Thiel, who wants to set up crypto-empowered 'network states' on undeveloped territory, has invested in Praxis, a start-up that aims to do just that and which has scouted Greenland. Trump’s ambassador to Denmark, Ken Howery, was a co-founder with Thiel and Elon Musk of PayPal."

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.
Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.
This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

Is this even on the news tonight? It would have been a nonstop, perhaps presidency-ending scandal if Barack Obama or Joe Biden had done this. Lost now, since the other two stories (the WH Orwelling 1/6/21 & Trump musing about invading Greenland) are even further beyond the pale.
They've decided to withhold the TANF block grant funds to punish blue states.
“Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter.”
