Minneapolis was not chosen randomly -- ICE has limited personnel.
Having failed in LA, they choose cities where they outnumber police

So Trump made a speech in which he repeatedly referred to Greenland as Iceland. Was there an international uproar? No, because the whole world knows his brain is full of squirrels. (Thanks HCR for that visual.)

I read this man's testimony a long, long time ago. (More than a decade ago) Maybe the same psyop as the birthday card, huh? I am pretty confident in his story. I believe HCR will come to believe it, too.
Difference in me & MAGA?
I always admit when I'm wrong.

At the end of the video HCR had high praise for PM Carney's Davos speech.
While she doubts he noticed this, she said ironically it echoed James Madison's Federalist No. 10. HCR was very much impressed by that.
Personally I'm impressed that we're being noticed on the world stage as much as we are.
