General Discussion / Re: Why Greenland matters
« Last post by SVPete on January 22, 2026, 03:18:52 PM »
The MSM would misrepresent Trump's BM schedule if the schedule existed. The MSM won't describe Trump's purpose in gaining increased access to Greenland, be cause Trump.

I'm not sure if Trump was trolling or just playing hard ball to get Euro "leaders" inclined to hate him to negotiate in earnest good faith. He used similar hard-balling to "persuade" countries with Anti-America tariffs to negotiate more fair agreements.

Jack Smith suggests Trump charges could be brought again

Keeping moonbats dreams alive, but only in the headline

Quote
Former special counsel Jack Smith refused Thursday to rule out the possibility that a future Justice Department could revive his criminal cases against President Trump once he leaves office in 2029.

Mr. Smith said he dismissed the charges when Mr. Trump was elected in 2024 in accordance with the department’s policy.

“Can they be rebrought or resurrected after Trump leaves office?” asked Rep. Hank Johnson, Georgia Democrat.

“They were dismissed without prejudice,” Mr. Smith said.

Mr. Johnson seemed interested in the idea, asking if that meant a new prosecution was a live matter for the president.

The second time, Mr. Smith demurred.

“I’m not going to speak to that,” he said
.

Woman dragged from car by ICE agents in Minnesota ID’d as LGBT and racial justice activist

https://nypost.com/2026/01/14/us-news/woman-dragged-from-car-by-ice-in-minnesota-idd-as-lgbt-and-racial-justice-activist/

No mention of the disability she claimed, and she was blocking the ICE agents with her vehicle, not driving somewhere.

Allergic to hand cuffs and responsibility.

There's so much static and noise around the whole kerfuffle, it's been very hard for me to figure out.  But it feels like Trump just started out trolling a bit, and as more folks piled on, he went pedal to the metal with that trolling.  There is logic to the article and probably some logic to Trump's intentions, but trying to make the country US territory just seems like overkill, IMHO.  I mean, he's now said he won't use force to take Greenland, so who knows right now.

Taking aim at ICE: State bill would ban former agents from being hired as police officers

Quote
A legislative move is designed to keep immigration officers out of Washington, even after they’ve left ICE.

The measure would ban any law enforcement agencies in Washington from hiring someone who was hired as a sworn officer of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency on or after January 20th of 2025. That’s when President Donald Trump’s second term began.

Rep. Tarra Simmons, D-Bremerton, introduced House Bill 2641 yesterday. It’s co-sponsored by Rep. Shaun Scott, D-Seattle.

“In this Washington, we have worked incredibly hard to build trust between law enforcement and community,” Simmons said in a press release. “In most Washington agencies, the men and women who step up to serve have developed a culture of holding each other accountable to the highest professional standards. The last thing we need is infiltration of ICE agents trained during the Trump Administration to send us backwards.”

I cannot roll my eyes hard enough.  They clearly are doing just fine with their hiring for LEOs up there

Woman dragged from car by ICE agents in Minnesota ID’d as LGBT and racial justice activist

https://nypost.com/2026/01/14/us-news/woman-dragged-from-car-by-ice-in-minnesota-idd-as-lgbt-and-racial-justice-activist/

Quote
The screaming woman who was filmed being pulled from her car by ICE agents in Minneapolis has been identified as a tech guru and LGBT and racial justice activist who describes herself as a “friendly neighborhood deniable asset.”

Aliya Rahman, a software engineer with a lengthy background in coding, has backed policies for police-worn body cameras and also has prior ties to multiple advocacy groups, including a decade-long history with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Rahman was thrown into the spotlight after viral footage showed federal agents breaking her car window and yanking her out on Tuesday after she apparently blocked ICE vehicles during a protest — less than a week after Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot nearby.

The driver was caught on camera shouting that she was “disabled” and claimed she “was just trying to get to the doctor” as multiple masked federal agents cuffed her and escorted her away in chaotic scenes.
...
By the time she was 6 years old, Rahman knew she was “definitely different” and later identified herself as “genderqueer” — in a country where homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment.

Rahman moved back to the US for college, having determined she “probably shouldn’t stay” in Bangladesh while she grappled with her queer identity.

No mention of the disability she claimed, and she was blocking the ICE agents with her vehicle, not driving somewhere.

That means that I've interacted with some of you guys for at least 24 years (counting CU and CC). It doesn't seem that long.

As for the asylum, I appreciate their efforts to entertain us with their stupidity, but I don't think there'll ever be an era as golden as when TominTib and Nadin were both sharing their lies and fabricated wisdom with their fellow inmates at the asylum.

It was entertaining to a point to hear about Nadine going to a Comicon and her adventures there amongst other things.

When I worked in a grocery store many years ago in the dark ages, I sure as hell didn't have time to talk to anyone about anything and if I did, I would probably have gotten chewed out as I should have. The only time I got to talk to anyone was with my fellow employees and that was not alot that didn't concern what we needed to be doing.
