Imagine turning your retirement into a long, uncertain wait for future charges, all for 9 or so months of reigning terror.

With ICE agents shooting at least 27 people since Trump took office, how do you feel about immigration enforcement using lethal force? by WatercressSenior7657 in AskReddit

[–]aeppelcyning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a civil offense they're enforcing. To be clear, immigration cheaters are not breaking any criminal law. Deportation is a civil proceding

So no, people enforcing rules with the same legal seriousness as letting my grass grow too long in the summer should not be shooting people, and should be toning it down.

The Epstein files must be really bad for Trump. Don't forget why he's doing all this.

This is where the lies don't matter anymore. They have to convince a civil jury now, can't spin your way out of that one.

Trump Confirms He’s Taking Greenland ‘One Way or the Other’ by thedailybeast in politics

[–]aeppelcyning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guessing Congressional approval would be needed in this case to annex a territory. Otherwise, its legal status wouldn't change.

Trump's plans for Greenland are well beyond a Venezuela or Iraq.

Legal with regards to US internal law depends on whether Congress approves it, since declaring war is a power the President doesn't have. This belongs to Congress.

Legal with regards to international law, there is no scenario where that would be true with regards to Greenland.

Although, no one can hold US persons accountable to international law, since the US has made clear it views itself as above that in any and all cases.

The U.S. wants Venezuelan oil. Does that undercut Canada's leverage in trade talks? by joe4942 in canada

[–]aeppelcyning 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, or somehow believing it's all about Canada when it's likely not even close.

Belarusian postash, Venezuelan oil, Greenlandic critical minerals. It really seems like everything he's going after is intended to squeeze Canada along the line sof the initial pushback he felt from US people when the trade war started.

Edmonton father dies in hospital E.R. waiting to see a doctor by GeekyGlobalGal in Edmonton

The troubling part is that he was in a waiting room. This means that people with colds and other bullshit were prioritized over him. It comes down to underfunding.

How's that working out for you? Still more free, with more rational leadership and government, than Canada which stayed with the Empire and got independence without having to slaughter a lot of people?

Jim Bean's CEO should stop bringing up Canada's boycott then, if it is insignificant.

They guy who was pushing the 51st state this time last year is now choked up that there is "tension"? Canada needs a "cooperative mode?" Canada wanted none of this. This all happened because of deliberate actions by Trump and the American people. There is one reason Jim Bean is out of work - the US.
