I can’t find the stub right now, but I still have it somewhere: House of Pain with, coincidentally, RATM as the openers. April 1993.
In honor of Nate’s first show at First Ave, please share your first show at First Ave

I’m picturing Bondi’s request assembled from letters cut from magazines.
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Well, the president* wears an ill-fitting suit every day and acts like a whiny toddler, so let’s start there.
Duffy: "I can't mandate you dress up, but don't wear pajamas & slippers to the airport. If you dress a little better you behave a little better. We're all getting into tight airline seats. The prices go down when we do that. But I want people to be well behaved & Ia little better dressed would help"

COLLINS: Does it include the US having ownership of Greenland?
TRUMP: It's a long term deal. It's the ultimate long term deal
COLLINS: How long is it?
TRUMP: Infinite. There is no time limit. It's a deal that's forever.

This is probably fine.
Footage shows Danish troops arriving in Greenland as part of a new military deployment. Among the personnel who landed on the island is Major General Peter H. Boysen, Chief of the Danish Army Command. #Greenland

Trump is now blaming his bullying and demands to be given Greenland on not being awarded the Nobel Prize. Why should he be nice when they're being so mean to him and not giving him the prize he insists he deserves.

to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ji7lroxun3yvv2pxhcf7jqsn/bafkreiacnq65zyhibvgcurronexc6jujh3m4ujldgb3ygdolthoeeqbqw4@jpeg)

You think we’re insufferable now (and, for the record we absolutely are)? Wait until we ride out a fucking government occupation. It’ll surpass the Halloween blizzard as our main talking point.

So, now one that he doesn’t even have, but thinks he’s getting from Machado, isn’t going to be enough. Got it.
Trump: "You should get the Nobel Prize for every war you stop. These were major wars. These were wars that nobody thought could be stopped. President Putin called me and he said about two of the wars he's been trying to stop them for 10 years, he wasn't able to do it."

WATTERS: Greenland - how far as you willing to go?
VANCE: The president is gonna make the ultimate determination, but there's been a lot of bellyaching from Europe and Europe has failed to contend with the fundamental argument POTUS has made: Greenland is critical to the world's national security

About 15 years ago, the guy who mercilessly bullied me in middle school got poisoned by his wife. He survived but I thought it was funny, and then got a very long, very needed lecture about empathy that I took to heart and hope it made me a better person.
