Donald Trump and Ric Grenell want to do to the Kennedy Center what Donald Trump and Stephen Miller want to do to America: Crush everything about it that is pure and good and remake it in their distorted, hateful image.

This guy is an ignoramus at best. How does anyone even thing of voting for this fool.
Why are we fantasizing about war with our allies.
Rep. Greg Steube: "You see Macron and the French sending troops to Greenland. I would love to see the US military up against French troops in Greenland, because it would not last very long. It would be a very small skirmish ... we don't care about what Macron and the French want."

This is just reiterating the terms of a treaty we have had with Denmark permitting us to have a number of bases in Greenland. Remember the DEW line which was an early warning series of posts to alert US & Canada in the event of a missle attack from the “Soviets”
Of course he has no clue about this.

So …. What we already have ….

He’s clueless. Has no idea where it is and the significance of Diego Garcia. Why even ask?
Q: Last night you said the British plan to hand the base at Diego Garcia to Mauritius and then rent it back is an act of 'great stupidity.' But previously you backed it. Is it now your position that the deal should not go ahead?

China has already sold off over $600 trillion in US bonds.
Germany and Italy are repatriating their gold reserves from the US.
The US dollar has lost 11.4421% of its value over the past year, which is problematic given that everything has to be imported.
And this is just the beginning.

The U.S Government is now threatening fellow NATO members with 10% tariffs, rising to 25% on 1st June, if we don’t hand Greenland to the mad Emperor in the White House.
I wonder if most Americans even know this is happening?
Under no circumstances should we cave to this economic warfare.

Pretty simple why he’s doing it. The DOJ has an “open” investigation on the connection between Bill Clinton and the Epstein issue. Therefore “they can’t divulge anything” until the investigation is closed.
