Perhaps Mitch McConnell should have consulted a psychologist. Just one. Any of us could have told him who/what Trump is.

Tom the Hut may have to backfill his own position as he lowers ICE hiring standards. See his new hires? NOT from Central Casting. https://bsky.app/profile/opsan.com/post/3lxqa4cvcd22y .. they say the recording shows he took the $50k. Oh: Did he declare it on his taxes?

ICE are no better than (B)Adge-atators. Cruel, undisciplined, and Reckless. https://bsky.app/profile/opsan.com/post/3m3qty7tkjs2d

Danes Sell Off American Treasuries

The moronic demented behavior of Cheeto and the Denmark Greenland controversy may have significant US bond market implications as the Danes in retaliation to Cheeto's claim that Greenland is US property have sold off their US treasury holdings

The point is that if the bond yields reach 5%....now at 4.26-4.13....the US dollar will essentially collapse ie zero value and the debt unsustainable Currently foreign holders of US treasuries is around $30T A foreign sell off of US bonds will eventuate in higher bond yields thus leading US economic collapse

Bessent is skitterish as he should be as Wall Street is squeamish as gold hits new record highs It the Danes lobby for other EU nations to follow the trend that would put Cheeto and his Greenland conquest on the skids Since a demented malignant narcissist can't take no for an answer he will be the direct cause of US dollar and economic collapse The EU should tread lightly as their fiat currencies will also be in peril and they are pegged to the dollar

Impeachment

Article II Section 4 may be used to impeach the president and the entire executive branch. Requires 2/3 vote by senate. Congress would need to make a law to appoint a new president.

The U.S. Constitution provides for removing the President and other civil officers through Impeachment (Article II, Section 4), requiring charges of Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors, followed by House impeachment and Senate conviction (Article I, Sections 2 & 3).

Impeachment (Article II, Section 4)

* Grounds: Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

* Process:

* House of Representatives:Sole power to impeach (bring charges).

* Senate: Sole power to try the impeachment, requiring a two-thirds vote for conviction and removal from office.

* Scope: Applies to the President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States.

Congressional Law: Congress can pass laws to name another "officer of the United States" to act as President if both President and Vice President are unable to serve.

There is no documentation...

eh?

In proceeding this day to the signature of the Convention respecting the cession of the Danish West-Indian Islands to the United States of America, the undersigned Secretary of State of the United States of America, duly authorized by his Government, has the honor to declare that the Government of the United States of America will not object to the Danish Government extending their political and economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

Robert Lansing

New York, August 4, 1916

The gist of https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1917/d881.

So inconvenient to have a hundred plus year old document signed by the President of the United States that puts the lie to Trump's excuses for his desire to take over the Sudetenland, excuse me, Greenland. Let us hope there are no Neville Chamberlains in NATO, because Trump will continue to take more territories outside of his imagined "territory of influence", which is illegal to begin with.

So if the local laws matter, why hasn't Minnesota indicted Johnathan Ross. The video evidence alone is proof it was not self defense. Even the ICE policies were not followed.

When you recruit white supremacists for the secret police, and your immigration policy is literally ethnic cleansing, nobody is going to give a shit that written (fake) policies were not followed. Anybody who gets in the way of the ethnic cleansing campaign gets brutalized or killed. Let's stop talking about this as if it were a legitimate government.

I'm talking about the local government in a blue state, not the Trump regime. You only have to convince 12 jurors vetted reasonably free of closed minds. Convict him in absentia if necessary, and don't comply in advance.

I can't believe that there are so many spineless, evil people in the world. Maybe it's time for God to bring down another flood and just rid the earth of this pestilence.
