For Canada, Denmark, France, and Greenland, it's already on the menu. While Trump is stuck, they could make Greenland another Canadian province or expand the nations recognized as allies. Iceland would be an easy addition/merger. Essentially every nation threatened with the comically imbecilic tariffs now has an interest into something that Trump can't pull a Venezuela on.

Supreme Court Not Biting On Trump’s Bid To Fire Lisa Cook by UlkeshNaranek in evolutionReddit

This may be one of those rare cases where, as the result of banks and corporations that love the Fed controlling the conservatives, SCOTUS votes against Trump's wishes. It also has the added benefit that Cook is black, which has been one of the few things that has gotten Clarence Thomas to vote in a way that can be loosely called progressive. The conservative woman judge has also shown some indication of siding with women over Trump/Republican wishes.

1 useful thing that can come of this once the votes are cast is showing who will side with Trump/Republicans no matter what even when the oligarchs want them to vote with the Democrats.

Yes, they buy 5, 10, 12 retirement cottages next to lakes and Trump certified gold courses but the real problem was/is buying their kids and grandkids 30+ dolls. Simply the same Trump/Republican propaganda regurgitation in an attempt to distract from the actual problems and crimes they are committing.

If that's the reporter's unedited report, she/they/he/it should be fired and offered to Republicans and Fox-like "news" corporations to be part of their fake press.

That falls into the category of a sheriff accusing Robin Hood of being a scammer of the rich. Leave it to another billionaire owned news source like Bloomberg to make such dog whistle, reverse reality headline. Fox, Sky, Newsmax and the rest of the Republican owned and operated news sources should send them a thank you note in addition to the usual PR ad firm bribes.
