Trump failed again: "Not only had the White House failed to achieve its strategic objective — both the mass removal of immigrants from the #Minneapolis area and the suppression of the administration’s political opponents through force and the fear of force — it had also lost significant ground with the public on its most favorable issue":

This kinda shit isn't surprising to me because I've experienced a lot of racial profiling, illegal as fuck BS from both USA & Canada #BorderControl nazi fuckers. Both readily & regularly use abuses of power. Both target BIPOC people, indiscriminately.
This was recorded on 2nd hidden audio gear. It highlights how USA border patrol thugs believe they have any/all right to violate constitution & abuse/threaten people, at their will.

Sen. Ted Cruz sells out, again: "When it comes to Greenland, I want to commend Pres. Trump for being single-mindedly focused on America first. I believe it is overwhelmingly in America's national interest to acquire Greenland. The whole history of America has been a history of acquiring new lands and new territories."
Putin is trying to acquire new lands and new territories in Ukraine.
Trump, #PutinsPuppet, is trying to follow Putin's example.
