kingdragonfly: ‘We Are the Dominant Predator,’ Says GOP Lawmaker as Trump Weighs Military Takeover of Greenland: Common Dreams
A Republican congressman on Wednesday made the case for seizing Greenland while describing the US as “the dominant predator” in the Western hemisphere.
During an interview with Fox Business, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) claimed that taking control of Greenland from Denmark was a vital strategic US interest, saying it should be seized regardless of the opinions of its residents.
“It’s important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are, quite frankly, a protectorate of the United States,” said Ogles, who is the lead sponsor of legislation backing Trump’s Greenland takeover bid. “You know, they’ve been in... a relationship with Denmark, that needs to end... When you look at the Monroe Doctrine, you look at the Western hemisphere, we are the dominant predator, quite frankly, force in the Western hemisphere.”
...
I thought this was the guy I watched last two nights but I dont think its Ogles. Some idiot that said we own the Western Hemisphere.
Now, I googled Western Hemisphere two days ago, varying results. One included NZ, one included the Chathams

Haven't seen this mentioned earlier, but here's yet another example of Trump's ICE thugs overstepping their boundaries and just shooting anyone they like, to hell with following policy or procedure:
https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/minneapolis-ice-shooting-01-08-26
This happened in Minneapolis (not far from where George Floyd was killed) earlier this week.
Absolutely appalling - what galls me is the thug who pulled the trigger then jumped into a waiting car and just fled the scene.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't he have stayed and tried to render assistance? That's what the Police (which the a'holes aren't) would do!
Of course, Trump's administration are painting the deceased woman as being "a threat" when she was just trying to block the ICE thugs from - no doubt wrongly - trying to arrest someone 😠
(I've watched the actual video and it makes for uneasy viewing) 😢

Flicked then to Fox News, who are very right leaning. And loud and boisterous. Thats all good. But the media people there were so disgusting, calling the Governor blubbering and embarrassing. My God. We all know what its like there these days but the division is exponential. Every week it gets worse, nationally and Internationally.
Feds have said there will be no investigation
Speaking of Fox, this is based on their reporting:
And of course there won't be an investigation (CNN reports Minnesota officials have actually been blocked from doing anything of the sort) - Trump and his thugs would fall over themselves to prevent any accountability 😠
Sorry if I'm going on about this but I have family in Minneapolis so this is hitting a little close to home for me 🙁

The Executive Summary
The NY Times - Live: Highlights From The Times’s Interview With President Trump
(today)
He said that he did not feel constrained by any international laws, norms, checks or balances.
Asked by my colleagues if there were any limits on his ability to use American military might, he said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
“I don’t need international law,” he added. “I’m not looking to hurt people.”

Some good points made here:
She placed her SUV as a blockage or protest, could be arrested for that
She took off, could be arrested for that
She didnt try to run the ICE guy over
So shoot the tyres and arrest her and charge her for reckless driving. Or get her address from the plates and arrest her for reckless driving
Not hard
The growing division is becoming very very stark. US Government employees seem to be following Trumps direction and attitude. Them and us. But the Them are US citizens and residents. Us are employed dictators
