Trump on Greenland: "If it affects NATO, it affects NATO. But they need us much more than we need them…We're talking about acquiring [Greenland] — not leasing, not having it short-term. We're talking about acquiring."

First: Maybe they weren't particularly scared at the start, but that clearly changed as the situation evolved. Now that we know that ICE will shoot you in the face for not obeying their orders, others will probably be a bit more wary at all times. No one will expect rational behavior from ICE...

Here's how a responsible government might have phrased it in a social media post: Today a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent discharged a firearm during a vehicle stop in Portland, Oregon. Two individuals were struck and are receiving medical treatment. The individuals have been...

Reporter: Can you rule out that the US is going to take Greenland by force? Stephen Miller: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO.

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of the president ... no wonder the number of violent incidents are going...

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this." I guess calling the victim a “radical left wing terrorist" isn't hateful rhetoric. In...

It's almost as if they want confrontations to occur, but of course, no rational government would encourage that.

How are those instructions being delivered? In a professional, no-nonsense manner or in a angry expletive-filled rant, complete with drawn weapons? And are they being said to an armed and dangerous criminal or to a smiling woman sitting in a car who is telling law enforcement that she's not mad...

Remember all that humanitarian aid to children around the world that was eliminated to reduce the budget and end wasteful spending? Remember all the lip service from conservatives about how we needed to take care of our own needy at home? Turns out, we're spending all that money and much more to...

I wish Trump's government mouthpieces would stick to the facts rather than polluting their releases with political rhetoric. That would make it a lot easier to actually take them seriously. As it is, they're no better than One America or Newsmax.

The current conservative wisdom seems to be that ICE tactics and behavior aren't relevant. States, local governments, and citizens should get out of the way and implicitly trust the federal government when it comes to immigration enforcement. It's regrettable if bodily harm or death follows when...
