🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Western leaders tiptoeing around hoping things can be patched up are making mistake. Appeasement doesn’t work. Starmer should make clear to British public what’s at stake and prepare them for rough road ahead. I believe Brits wd respond positively, and be willing to accept some costs. Self respect.

Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

Trump as US Commander in Chief means there's a legitimate possibility that the US Military may accidentally invade the wrong country.
Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

I wouldn’t get too excited about the Trump line on force in Greenland. He’s been spooked by the markets and possibly by US public opinion. It’ll be the line until it’s not where he’ll hint at it again. Which might be later today.

There’s still a taboo in the media about describing Trump’s cognitive state.
It’s rooted in the idea that the US President being insane sounds so preposterous that it must be an inaccurate slur.
But it’s the hard truth.
All of this is a result of Trump being an unstable narcissistic megalomaniac.
