The movement claims to stand with the police. Trump’s decision to pardon the cop-beaters of January 6 exposed his movement for what it is.

With Trump, we see American imperialism with no clothes. Naked and vain. American imperialism is not just morally wrong. It is strategically disastrous.
I wrote this essay in March 2025 when Vance visited Greenland, and it is unfortunately still too relevant.

This administration is so clueless… and insane
CNN: Can you rule out US taking Greenland by force?
Miller: Greenland should be part of US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? US is the power of NATO.
CNN: So you can't take military force off the table?
Miller: Nobody is gonna fight US militarily over future of Greenland.

Two things can be true:
Maduro is a vile despot who stole the election & has caused unimaginable harm & trauma to Venezuelans, including economic collapse & mass migration.
Trump’s invasion of Venezuela has nothing to do with helping Venezuelans & everything to do with Trump’s own power.

Free and fair elections are good for business. Having a stable rule of law is important to the economy. Not having people afraid to go to work because they might be beaten up or disappeared is essential to a productive workforce. Democracy is essential for a strong economy.
