Hey Peace Prez,

"Thousands of Greenlanders carefully marched across snow and ice to take a stand against Donald Trump on Saturday. They held signs of protest, waved their national flag and chanted “Greenland is not for sale” in the face of increasing threats of an American takeover.

Just as they finished their trek from the small downtown of Greenland’s capital city, Nuuk, to the US consulate, the news broke that Trump had announced he would charge a 10% tariff on eight European countries from February over their opposition to US control of Greenland.

Trump threatens 25% tariff on European allies until Denmark sells Greenland to US

“I thought this day couldn’t get any worse, but it just did,” Malik Dollerup-Scheibel said after the Associated Press told him about Trump’s announcement. “It just shows he has no remorse for any kind of human being now.”

But when the AP asked Louise Lennert Olsen what she would say to Trump, the 40-year-old Greenlandic nurse instead said she wanted to give a message to the American people.

“I would really like them to support our wish to be Greenland as we are now,” she said as she marched through Nuuk. “I hope they will stand against their own president. Because I can’t believe they just stand and watch and do nothing.”

Here's a story about one of my dogs. It's more "emotionally" true then "true" true. It's as true is anything in this time of lies.

I've only had one eye on the Bills v Broncos game (TV on in the other room with the sound off, as is my wont) but I am hoping the Bills win it. Push that tush!

If the Trumpinistas were even marginally competent fascists, they wouldn't let these guys back into the country.

I do have to say that I knew Sinema was a freak right from the start.

You and I and countless others I suspect.

Are these people stupid (yes, yes they are). Don't they know that if you are in national politics that your every move can be scrutinized by the nosy press? Don't they understand that they have a snowball's chance of getting away with behavior that every normal person knows has to be done in the greatest secrecy?

"... a second man stood up and started yelling that he had also been having an affair with Kyrsten Sinema."

Ok, which one of you is Spartacus?

ETA: I just know someone has already thought of this, but I can't resist

"I am having an affair with Krysten Sinema."

"*i* am having an affair with Krysten Sinema."

"**I** am having an affair with Krysten Sinema."

Best episode of "To Tell the Truth" EVER.

I think it was some kind of weird Mormon prank to embarrass her. I've seen her drinking in a bar so that would make her a Jack Mormon, if she is a Mormon. I don't think the Mormons are happy with her act.

They could probably qualify for a fraternity charter.
