“Den ukendte Agersnap” er godt tilfreds hvis hendes udmeldelse er med til at sætte gang i en bevægelse i det socialdemokratiske bagland. Grænsen må være nået for mange socialdemokrater...
For første gang i sin tid som partiformand har Mette Frederiksen grund til at frygte for, at en sag skal komme ud af kontrol og skabe den uro og splittelse, som har været aldeles fraværende, siden hun overtog ledelsen af partiet.

"A German soldier shot her dead in her bed"
"My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza"

Jews will support Palestine and the Palestinian people despite the threats and attacks of the Zionist scum.
We pray for the swift elimination of the depraved, genocidal Israel.
Zionists are godless; the Zionist regime is genocidal and irreligious; it never represents the Jewish people.

Twenty years ago we invaded Iraq. The war killed many innocent Iraqis and Americans. It destroyed the oldest Christian populations in the world. It cost over $1 trillion, and turned Iraq into a satellite of Iran. It was an unforced disaster, and I pray that we learn its lessons.

Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.

Rep. Nancy Mace says she has seen the Epstein client list and warns that the names on it will shock the entire world.
She adds, as a Republican, that the DOJ is protecting those identities.
According to Mace, the list includes both Republicans and Democrats, along with wealthy elites, media figures, people in power, and even current and former prime ministers and presidents.
She says the Epstein case will go down as one of the greatest cover-ups in American history.

.@RepThomasMassie and I forced last night the DOJ to disclose the identities of 6 men:
Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, and billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner.
I share details of what more we learned to hold the Epstein class accountable.

JUST IN: Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna exit after reviewing unredacted Epstein files — both confirm at least 6 men with photographs have been deliberately redacted with no explanation.
Massie: "What I saw that bothered me were the names of at least six men that have been redacted that are likely incriminated by their inclusion in these files. It took some digging to find them."
Khanna: "There are six men, some of them with their photographs, that have been redacted. And there's no explanation why those people were redacted."
A bipartisan bombshell. Both a Republican and a Democrat walked out of that room saying the same thing: names are being hidden.

🚨 Rep. Ted Lieu drew a red line on Greenland:
“If any military member, from the generals on down, uses force against Greenland without congressional authorization, they’re following illegal orders.”
That’s a warning to Trump and a warning to the Pentagon.
No blank checks. No imperial freelancing.

BREAKING: Republican Congressman Don Bacon announces that he'd "lean" towards impeaching Trump if he proceeds with the "utter buffoonery" of invading Greenland.
And it gets so much worse for MAGA...
"I'll be candid with you: There's so many Republicans mad about this," Bacon told the Omaha World-Herald. "If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency. And he needs to know: The off-ramp is realizing Republicans aren't going to tolerate this and he's going to have to back off. He hates being told no, but in this case, I think Republicans need to be firm."
Bacon's willingness to possibly support impeachment is noteworthy because he voted against impeachment twice during Trump's first disastrous term in office, including in the wake of the deadly January 6th insurrection. His decision to speak out now suggests that Trump's support is waning within his own party as his popularity craters.
"I don't want to give you a definite yes or no, but I would lean that way," Bacon said of impeachment. "It would be a total mistake to invade an ally. It would be catastrophic to our allies and everything. It's just the worst idea ever in my view."
Bacon also explained his support of a House bill that would limit the president's ability to attack a NATO ally. He is the sole Republican co-sponsor.
"I think it should be unnecessary," he said. "It's ridiculous that this has to even be done. But when the president talks about taking Greenland one way or the other way every day this last week or so and that it's unacceptable if Greenland refuses to be part of the United States, I felt like I needed to make a statement that Republicans disagree."
“It’s utter buffoonery to think that we should compel Greenland to be part of the United States,” he continued.
Trump's saber-rattling towards Greenland is one of his most insane and downright stupid blunders to date. He insists that the U.S. needs to seize the Arctic island for "national security," but under existing NATO agreements we can already station our military there. This is about his desperate need to carve out some semblance of a legacy for himself. His domestic policies are imploding our country and so he's grasping at imperialist dreams to convince himself that he's anything other than an abject failure.
"You don't treat allies that way," Bacon said. "You do that with Russia or China, Iran, but don't treat your best friends like a piece of S-H-I-T. That's what he's doing. I think it's totally wrong to treat your best friends like this and bully them."
Please ❤️ and share if you support impeaching Trump!

In my exchanges with various Americans on social media, it's become clear that the problem isn't that Americans can't find Greenland on a map. They can; Greenland's hard to miss, especially on a Mercator projection. The problem is that too many Americans can't find Denmark on a map. They have no idea what it is and have no real understanding both of the value of allies in general and of Denmark in particular. They don't believe me when I tell them that European allies are worth having, that they do have militaries, that they do enhance our security, and that, in general, they are good for our well-being as Americans.
So, for example, when I say the Danes fought in Afghanistan, they dismiss this because of the assumption that Denmark's contribution was of no consequence, nor, to be frank, was that of any NATO ally. They simply are unaware of anyone else doing anything.
When I tell them that having an ally in control of the Straits of Denmark is a huge advantage, they shrug their shoulders. The Straits of what? Why does being able to bottle up the Baltic Sea matter? It's so remote it might as well be Middle Earth.
When I tell them that Denmark has committed to defending Latvia and keeps an armored battalion there, they have no clue why that might do America any good. They just see (because Trump pointed it out) that Denmark has left Greenland undefended. The fact that Denmark in effect has chosen to defend Greenland by putting troops forward (Latvia) does not compute. And of course they have no idea that since 1941 the US and Denmark have had an understanding about Greenland's defense, which has encouraged Danes to focus east, not west.
And so, when I say that Trump is in danger of killing NATO, they really don't understand why any American should care, since, as far as they are concerned, only the United States does anything, and the rest of NATO is there as window dressing. You (hopefully) and I know that's not at all true, but too many Americans view things in this way.

WASHINGTON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Just 17% of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's efforts to acquire Greenland, and substantial majorities of Democrats and Republicans oppose using military force to annex the island, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
The two-day poll, which concluded on Tuesday, showed widespread concerns over Trump's threats to NATO ally Denmark over Greenland, which has been a Danish territory for centuries.

.@SenMcConnell on Greenland: "Close ties with our northernmost allies are what make America's extensive reach in the Arctic actually possible. And I have yet to hear from this administration a single thing we need from Greenland that this sovereign people is not already willing to grant us. Unless and until the president can demonstrate otherwise, then the proposition at hand today is very straightforward: incinerating the hard-won trust of loyal allies in exchange for no meaningful change in U.S. access to the Arctic."

JUST IN: Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen have introduced a bill to block Donald Trump from taking over Greenland.
The NATO Unity Protection Act would bar the use of Defense or State Department funds to blockade, occupy, annex, or otherwise assert control over the sovereign territory of a NATO member.

The number of babies Israel has killed in Gaza is significantly greater than the number of civilians killed on October 7 in total. The level of slaughter is simply inconceivable.
