There are people who could stop this if they wanted to stop this craziness. There are constitutional ways to address a president who is running amuck. Those who could get him out of office don't seem to choose that. This is what keeps me awake nights.
There is no calvary expected.

Honestly this could explain a lot why someone like Trump would want control of Greenland...

It's still large (see its true size superimposed on the US and Europe in the image below), but it's really unhelpful to be still using such distorted maps:

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Trump's mafia crafts revolting propaganda to sanitize the killing of a U.S. citizen, mirroring Gestapo savagery by bungling troops shielded to torment those they vow to safeguard. VP's rhetoric drips vomit. #Impunity

Sounds like there were Russians onboard the Bella 1/Marinera, and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs very quickly issued a statement saying they want them returned to Russia ASAP.

How interesting. Guys, who do you think these Russians are that were onboard this tanker?🤔

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Jeffries: "This is a law enforcement operation that involved an elite unit of the military, it involved direct military strikes in Venezuela. And we're supposed to believe this was a law enforcement action? Make it make sense. It was military action without explicit approval by Congress."
