Just to make this very clear, the only reason Trump and Republicans give a damn about Greenland is because they know global warming is happening and are not going to even try to stop it. Greenland is them and their wealthy backers fallback plan, where they will build a "utopia" while the world burns

For over ten years they've said they having a "Secret" amazing plan. I always suspected their plan was repeal ACA so people have NOTHING and then anything they do would be better than NOTHING. Now rather than admit it, they beg for someone to "Innovate" them out of their lie. Shameless

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that President Trump does not want to execute members of Congress who urged the military not to follow unlawful orders, but that he wants to see them “held accountable.”

@adamkinzinger.substack.com Trump's targeting of Venezuela is an attempt to create casus belli. His use of emergency powers early on was based on being at war with Tren de Aragua. If he can provoke a reaction from Venezuela, then he can use that as validation of his actions, both past and future.

You know why you avoid this because it creates a non-zero chance that soldiers will serve next to soldiers who may have killed their friends, family and children. At the same time they are removing relief valves. I'm sure some Vietnam Vets would have strong opinions.

The path to acceptance can be simple, first you must accept yourself. Simple does not mean easy, keep that in mind. If you enjoy some extra complexity and conflict begin the process outside yourself. Be prepared for misunderstanding, pain and joy. Because the world pulls no punches, but you can.
