Trump has said before he's surprised we have so many nukes and we never use them. I could see him turning Tehran into a parking lot and then claiming it needed to be done to end the conflict quickly and save American lives.

If it confuses you, it's because he's implying genocide. Otherwise he wouldn't have said that. When dad says he's going to beat your ass if you don't do what he says, it's not an enigma when you get your ass beat for not doing the thing.

I didn't vote for Trump to take our ally's land. This doesn't lower the price of groceries or lower gas prices. This is just us doing to Greenland what China is doing to Taiwan and Russia doing to Ukraine. Are we just agreeing to revert back to imperialism again?

The NATO Greenland treaty of 1951 (and its latest version of 20something) already gives the USA full militairy access to Greenland for defence purposes.

They can build bases, ports, airstrips and whatnot, they just need to -ask- Denmark (and nowadays Greenland) if they can do so, which is a formality.

So no, there is no need to “own” the land to defend against enemies.

Speaking of enemies…

Russia never threatened to take Greenland

China never threatened to take Greenland

Only the USA did so multiple times…

And the president can't unilaterally decide to not give a whole state funding. Power of the purse belongs to congress. Imagine if Obama just decided not to give Texas federal funding lol.

NY pays more than they get back in funding. They can just contribute nothing and be better off. Lot of red states get more in funding than what they pay because they generate far less GDP.

You don't need privacy if you have nothing to hide, so let the government have access to all of your stuff :)

did not have to rely on the record before them and could be assured that the government had more, and possibly better, evidence that would be presented at trial, the judge said.

Allegedly, the DOJ prosecutors hinted to the Grand Jury that "also, we have this other new indisputable super damning evidence... but that you can't see it now". Problem is that you can't just present new evidence in an ongoing trial. Everything has to be shown during discovery. Presenting new evidence would get the evidence thrown out. It has to be cleared. That could get this thrown out.

Doesnt this mean the Epstein files can't be released by a senate vote now, because now there's an official on-going criminal investigation and under law, documents from an ongoing investigation can't be made public. Sounds like a stalling tactic for the next 4 years, keep it perpetually under investigation to block the release.

As a Christian, no way God is working through Trump. Love Trump but he is a Christian only in name. Let's be honest, he has never read the Bible or went to church before he needed republican support. He's a new york billionaire real estate mogul who has been in like 4 marriages. They asked him what his favorite Bible verse is and he just said "all of them". Couldn't name a single one. Trump is awesome but please he is not a pious man and if anything just appease Evangelicals for support....

That's fair but it's a slippery slope. Trump is a man not a god and men are corruptable.

You misunderstand. George Washington was never crowned and then gave the crown back. They offered and he turned it down. I said nobody who received absolute power has ever returned it.

Nobody with absolute power has ever in history yielded it back. Not a single one.

There is no formal organization called Antifa. It's just a descriptor leftists subscribe to because it means anti fascist. Its not like the proud boys, Oath keepers, Three Percenters--those are organizations, they do have leadership, they do have funding.
