    Well said super. Love the LOTR connection. I would say we are dealing with a Wormtongue here, but this guy isn’t that smart.

    You might be right super. But I just don’t see it happening. Trust is hard to get. It is easy to lose. And it is almost impossible to regain. We have lost our leadership status as the head of the West. And that POS Trump could care less. Our trump supporters, please show me where I am...

    And what’s so bad, is that this was deliberate. It’s been the IDF’s MO virtually from the beginning of this slaughter of innocent Palestinians.

    Politics Going after Greenland

    Oh super, you’re so wrong. Trump will just use his magic marker (you remember; the one that changed the path of the hurricane) and move the sun so they will get more sunlight.

    He’s waiting for the IDF to do his dirty work for him.

    Politics Going after Greenland

    History has proven many times that countries and people have long memories. If the US moves to forcibly take Greenland the rest of Europe will neither forgive or forget. Plus, it will just make other European countries distrust trump even more than they do now (if that is possible).

    The only time Trump has been war averse was when he actually might have had to go fight in one.

    Politics Going after Greenland

    That’s a different situation. We were at war with them. We are at peace with Denmark. Trump has disrupted an alliance that has maintained peace in Europe for 80 years. Going after Greenland does nothing but isolate us further from our traditional allies.

    Politics Tired of Safety? Republicans push for abolishment of TSA

    In 2023 I flew from RDU to Birmingham, Alabama to ride home with my granddaughter after the end of the fall semester. My wife drove me to the airport. We stopped at a convenience store on the way so I could get something to drink. I put the coin change in my pocket. I was in line to go thru...
