I wonder if Justice Brett "I love beer" Kavanaugh is having second thoughts over his written opinion that has led to the eponymous "Kavanaugh stops"...initially, the ICE/CBP goons were stopping any and all "look-and-sound" Hispanic residents for immigration violation, now they've extended that to demanding "proof of citizenship" from that very same demographic. No papers, no freedom to go about your business.
No 4th Amendment protection, and now it's guilty until proven innocent, all thanks to liberty-loving Scotus.
The world watched as Renee Good was gunned down in her own neighborhood by an angry, out-of-control control ICE goon, and we are supposed to just look the other way? I can’t!
Re: the 11th Airborne "Arctic fighters"...the Substack writer Dean Blundell made the very sensible connection of placing the 11th on alert, not for duty in MPLS, but fot military action in Greenland, which in fact does make sense in light of trump's deranged note to the Norwegian govt.
"With President Trump threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota, the Pentagon has issued prepare-to-deploy orders to 1,500 troops in two infantry battalions of the Army’s 11th Airborne Division, which is based in Alaska and specially trained for cold-weather operations.
"Trump did appear to pull back on Friday from an immediate Insurrection Act invocation: “I don’t think I need it right now,” he said."
Tom Sullivan, writing for Digby's Hullabaloo, today and has previously warned that any action with the Alaskan troops being put into readiness status should be seen as a sign of an imminent attack on Greenland. There are lots of troops far closer to Minnesota than Alaska, and the Alaskan troops have the training and equipment for arctic warfare that none of the other troops do. Especially after Trump's manic screed today at the Norwegian government, we should assume that those troops are about to be sent to occupy Greenland. Illegal order? Of course, but the military has been obeying his illegal orders in the Caribbean, the Pacific, in Venezuela, and in bombing Iran's nuclear facilities for much of the past year. I no longer have any hope that they will disobey any illegal order; following orders is what they've been heavily trained to do .
It's all about intimidation; Trump's gang of thugs were instructed to change the converrsation from Epstein to making the Constitution irrelevant. He knows the mid-terms could mean the end of his reign. Their refusal to acknowledge judicial decisions just another step toward martial law and refusal to hold mid-term elections.
As for what Blanche announced maybe as it was decided as it was coming out of his mouth?
As for Greenland, you all know Denmark and NATO will crumble as soon as Donny applies his version of Mafia violence. And since Europe’s leaders still haven’t sussed out what they’re dealing with when dealing with Trump and implementing all warranted policies, I say whatever happens is on them.
L.1 - agreed. L 2 - Determined the first few minutes after the murder. End para. -- No, it's on the US. If parts of Europe appear 'lulled into complacency', said complacency flows from US actions or failures to act. And if US voters had been adults last election, we would not be trapped in this nightmare.

The whole world should
know by now, Trump
and his regime are
totally unreliable and
only out for how much
they can all get.
What a whiny, spoiled
little brat Trump is over
the Noble Peace Prize.
Do you all think Blanch
and Bondi have places
far away from the USA
to hide from retribution?

Funny how every day is worse than the day before…

Ultimately, it’s on Europe to protect itself when the US proves itself completely untrustworthy.
Agreed, except I think US already has accomplished that.
It’s obvious to anyone looking at things objectively but there still is no policies in Europe addressing the crisis (which is what it is).
