An estimation of over 2000 Iranian protesters have been killed in the last few days.

Where's the outrage?

Just “speed bumps” I guess

Huge difference in people protesting for freedom and against the oppression of its citizens, vs. commie liberals protesting against immigration enforcement, with many wishing the death and destruction of those enforcing the laws.

No doubt, that logic escapes you

You only seem to find things logical as long as they fit nicely into your own world. If you want to be able to protest something you don’t agree with, then you have to live with people protesting something you agree with.

Nothing wrong with peaceful protests. Many of the protests here are not peaceful. Violent agitators and trouble makers. They are nothing but societal shit stains.....and speed bumps.

Self-interest over ideology as disparate inner circle shapes Trump foreign policy | Donald Trump | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/10/trump-worldview-inner-circle-personal-whim

I'm not the big Trump supporter but I can look at things from different perspectives and remember some recent history.

Trump has one hell of a big mess to clean up and very little time to do it.

I really struggled to read that BS you attached. Obama and Biden turned Iran loose on the World to pursue their fanatical ideologies. And they funded it! That lead to Hamas and the other Iran Proxies being able to attack Isreal. Unchecked that would most certainly infect many other parts of the World including here in the US.

Do you really think Putin would have dared to invade Ukraine had Trump been president?

The Clinton/Obama/Biden/Democrat corruption machine has been deeply embedded and infected the US government and many of our States. This has to be stopped and cleaned up. It is obviously not pretty. Have you seem the just released list of long standing violent criminals that ICE has arrested in Minnesota?

As for the Western Hemisphere, it is about damned time we clean up our own backyard. Again it has gotten so far out of hand that drastic measures must be taken. Rubio is obviously well equipped for this. From my perspective I really hope Rubio is kept in this position for subsequent administrations. I believe he'd make a great president but he seems to be uniquely qualified to his current position and I for one believe his hatred for Communism will serve the World well for decades to come.

Just providing different perspectives Bob

I appreciate that but damn it read one-sided while leaving a lot of background out.

I suppose you Europeans cannot be blamed. A glaringly apparent problem we saw while in England and Ireland last spring was the total lack of honest news coverage. It was about impossible to get non liberal biased news on the TV.

If there’s one thing authoritative regimes are good at, it’s getting things done.

So the US govt is floating the idea of 10k interest free loans for new vehicle purchases, I guess dealers are choking on inventory. How about letting manufacturers drown on their own supply until they realize that no one wants to have to pay 8k to upgrade to the next trim package to get the one option they want, and twenty seven others they couldn’t give a rats ass about!

And BMW’s idea about subscription based options is criminal. I’m already paying to have the option installed in the car, and then I have to pay MORE to access it?

Talking about the fkn UK.....doubt they can even do what supposed to....

Mike you found it! That's what I was feeling when you posted that anti Trump and Anti Rubio article

 

[Tundra Tiger]

That's funny Bob. I was thinking I frequently feel 'pistified' over the things that come out of Trump's mouth.

Maybe ICE should add a few of these to clear the path. Just dump the vehicle on the side of the street, driver & all. Might provide a better disincentive to someone thinking they can block the road with their vehicle. Especially when they learn their insurance won't cover the damage...

We have had interesting discussions about "lawful orders" and the like. Hopefully there is nothing to this story considering the source, but I can honestly say that this is one I would not follow without a Congressional directive, and even then, I trust I would say enough, and pull the plug. We have treaty obligations under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization which do not include freedom to attack a member state. To legally invade Greenland, and thus attack Denmark, we would have to withdraw from NATO. As evidenced by Congress including language (Section 1250A) in the NDAA to block presidential withdrawal from NATO without Senate advice and consent (two-thirds vote) or an Act of Congress, that will not be forth coming. Perhaps Trump is merely playing games, but if so he is behaving more like an adolescent character in "Lord of the Flies" than a serious president.

One would hope either the Chairman or the entire Joint Chiefs would resign if Trump moves on Greenland.
