Venezuela’s democracy heroine Machado gifted her Nobel Peace Prize to Trump (well, the medal — not the money). Part of the global orgy of Trump butt-kissing. I want to throw up.
Any decent person would have told her, lovely gesture, but I can’t take it from you. Not infantile Trump, who wouldn’t pass the marshmallow test. He preened as if he were truly getting the award. Machado showed she’s far smarter than him. He doesn’t know the world sees all this as a laughable farce. Like that ridiculous football “peace prize” cooked up for him. All this degrades America.
Machado was angling for Trump’s support, as Venezuela’s rightful president; her movement overwhelmingly won the last election, that Maduro stole. Trump instead backs Maduro’s illegitimate flunky. Because he simply likes anti-democratic dictators.
Meantime he’s ratcheting up his demand that America must get Greenland. Saying that otherwise Russia or China will. A lie idiotic even for Trump. In fact Greenland has NATO protection, so if attacked by Russia or China, we’d be obligated to defend it! And if the U.S. is the attacker, other NATO nations would be obligated to defend Greenland. Some are now sending forces there.
Trump deems Greenland vital to U.S. security. But we already have an excellent security agreement with them. Rare minerals? As if Greenland wouldn’t simply sell them to us. While attacking it would hugely damage our security — by blowing up the NATO alliance and even our existing security pact with Greenland itself. Making us an outlaw pariah nation, globally despised. Great for our national security, huh?
One place America is already massively invading with armed force is Minneapolis. TV news video of ICE’s attacks there shows shockingly extreme brutality. Now going house-to-house, busting down doors, seizing anyone they choose. Demanding people prove citizenship. (Can you?) Protesters, and even bystanders, are brutalized too. I saw one woman, just trying to get to a medical appointment, dragged out of her car and detained after ICE men smashed her window. She’s lucky she wasn’t shot like Renee Good.
The regime insists it’s going after lawbreakers. While ICE’s indiscriminate mass recruitment has clearly attracted violence-prone young men. They, and their higher-ups, are the real criminals. Now the Department of “Justice” is moving to indict the governor and mayor for opposing them.
America’s regime is disgusting, vile, deeply sick.
In fact making the nation literally sick. With HHS led by an anti-science crackpot, now responsible for messing up federal health guidelines. Vaccines a particular target; doctors are reporting an explosion of vaccine refusal. Causing outbreaks of diseases like measles; children have already died. Many more will.
We’re only a quarter through Trump’s term.
It will get worse.
