Denmark should just do a "key to the city" type ceremony and tell him he "has Greenland." We'll "give it back" when he dies. Everyone knows the game here

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

Trump claimed TdA had “thousands” of members in the US. But internal CBP records show when officials couldn’t support that figure with evidence, they resorted to statistical sleight of hand to reach a number more in line with the president's claim, which was 30x higher than what CBP could prove.

Some marketing genius was like "lots of people drinking after they watch our news, I wonder how we can monetize this."
New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.
Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

On January 12, 1991, Fugazi took to the stage in Lafayette Park, right in front of the White House – unthinkable today – to play a relatively short set, thereby expressing her protest against the Gulf War.
Fugazi - Turnover

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.
