  1. I agree. This is why Greenland and Denmark's best move is to ignore the threats or proclamations especially by a Hitler wannabe like Miller.
  2. The plans are all concepts within Trump's brain which are swarming with beta-amyloid plaques. I imagine that Trump is at a mental standpoint that Stephen Miller can "remind" Trump of Trump's masterful plan even if Trump never entertained the thought. Does any Western oil major want much to do with Venezuela even with cost protections. Ultimately any cost reimbursements or long term stability is at risk depending on who the US & Venezuelan President will be. I don't think any CEO would have confidence that the US policy wouldn't drastically change quickly. If Trump makes a deal with an oil company, why should any future Dem president honor it, if not look to reverse any past reimbursements? Perhaps this wouldn't happen but a CEO has to consider it. Not to mention if future Venezuelan leadership nationalizes the industry again since this was forced on them and the US decides to let it happen.
  3. From all indications, Greenlanders are happy with their semi-autonomous status with Denmark. Now perhaps if there were serious negotiations, which would never happen with Trump, they could require entry as a state and bypass the territory status. This would give them 2 senators and 1 rep for <60 K residents. If I were them, I wouldn’t want to be a lowly territory without power. There’s also a question of who actually owns most of Greenland. Does the Denmark or Greenland govt claim ownership? The Danish monarchy? do private individuals own it?
  4. If possible, Newsom should mimic Abbott by at least waiting 6 months if not until November. Given that Dems will finally get some empty seats filled soon, I’m assuming that the GOP will only have a couple of seats over the Dems. Maybe they can afford 2 of them to oppose a bill. Maybe 1.
  5. Do we even have any personnel/military in Venezuela at the moment? I don’t understand how we’re running the country if that isn’t occurring. I agree that we somewhat control their foreign trade since it looks like we control the seas.
  6. Greenland and Denmark are taking the wrong approach. The best way to deal with Trump is to stay out of his limited attention span. If you start telling him what he can and cannot do, you will be in his crosshairs. Staying quiet doesn't mean that the will ignore you but it increases the chances.
  7. The amount of abuse from welfare, medicaid, medicare, disability (military and non-military) is staggering. Just think about the abuse from the COVID payments as long as you said that you had employees. Not too mention the abuse that came from legitimate businesses who didn't need the money but they had no problems taking money if it was offered. the fraud, waste and abuse is not in DC. It's in America. This is the face of the average American and their attitude about taking.
  8. I think she should have picked Shapiro, and frankly the results couldn't have been any worse with him. Who knows if he could have delivered PA and other battleground states. Or perhaps it can be viewed that Harris' campaign misused Walz.
  9. The GOP doesn't care about the truth or morals. Biden gets blamed for letting Epstein get murdered under his watch even though Trump was President. Biden gets accused of strong arming the social media companies in the 2020 election even though he wasn't even the President and had zero power. Trump has been convicted of personal fraud and the GOP doesn't care. and he's earning billions in being President. They don't care.
  10. I caught a few clips of Rubio from the talk shows over the weekend. Very pathetic how little he is in the decision making. He must be somewhat happy that he's even allowed to talk about this since he's been left out of Ukraine and Israel talks.
  11. Perhaps it's out there but I wonder if Reiner would have been willing to return for an occasional episode here or there, or if he told them he wanted it done. I believe he came back to All in the Family for an episode or two after Mike and Gloria moved away.
  12. My employer only raised the biweekly medical premium by a few dollars so I feel lucky to have that. I don't know how you self-employed or small business workers do it other than you have limited choices. I can understand when one partner in a relationship has to take the govt or corp job if only for the benefits.
  13. Trump only needs to say that we’ve annexed Greenland and the US will claim it’s ours. That doesn’t mean anything has changed. Except Trump will require schools and media to agree that it’s ours.
  14. How much money will it cost US taxpayers to entice western oil companies to go back into Venezuela? I figure that we will need to foot the any capital costs and offset any losses due to increased supply. Trump has to be made to look right even if it’s a financial disaster. During the hurricane sharpie fiasco, if scientifically possible , Trump would have ordered the hurricane to hurt Alabama to prove him right.
  15. Have we taken over the govt, or was the objective to capture Maduro?
  16. There’s no doubt in my mind that Stephen miller prefers executions over deportation. He would justify his opinion that many deportees will attempt to return especially if a Democrat president is elected. Execution would prevent them from returning.
  17. and it won’t just be as simple that you need to send in your ballot a day earlier. Who’s to say that large cities won’t experience longer sorting delays (and corresponding post mark) the week of the election. And by delay I mean a direct slowdown command from a political appointee. Then the county election board is handed thousands of ballots that are postmarked after the election date but mailed days earlier.
  18. The USS JFK is the next aircraft carrier to be delivered to the US Navy in 2027. And the only one named for a Dem president. I don’t believe for a second that Hegseth and Trump aren’t discussing renaming it after Trump. Maybe they will toss JFK a bone by renaming a future one after him. The Kennedy family might be punished if they make too big of a deal of the Kennedy center renaming. And speaking of being petty, Trump won’t stand that a future aircraft carrier is set to be named after Clinton. It’s still 10 years from being commissioned. My guess is that Trump is unaware of this plan.
  19. They really do just say the quiet part out loud. Boebert thinks it’s ok if Trump attacks and punishes Denver residents since they didn’t support him but that he shouldn’t attack his supporters in her district. Maybe I’m naive but should we ever want any president to attack any Americans out of spite?
  20. Perhaps it’s only a change in reporting but the media has definitely highlighted that the CIA is taking the lead in Venezuela. Honesty I think it’s obvious that Trump doesn’t really trust Hegseth with anything at this point. He can’t get rid of Hegseth without admitting he made a big mistake.
  21. I recall there were 2 issues with sidewalks and curbs on alba and later on Golf followed. There are only a handful of houses on Alba, in terms of facing alba and they are relatively small lots. Some of the owners complained that walkers would effectively be walking next to their front windows. This was clearly an exaggeration. Other street homeowners were concerned that curbs and sidewalks would be forced on them as well.
  22. Heard great quote on a YouTube video. Mentioned that when most people who say they want to be a millionaire, they really mean they want to spend like a millionaire. Whatever that means. And since it’s all about spending with them, they most likely will never hit these goals. Instead, save and invest yourself up to 5m and then you can spend like that “millionaire” every year.
  23. I track sleep via a Whoop health tracker. Basically I rarely hit its sleeps goals for me.
  24. I don’t know what to think but there is an odd fact that we had a former/soon-to-be president almost assassinated and we know next to nothing about that incident. The lack of information comes across that if it hadn’t occurred in public with 100s of camera, we literally would have zero information.
