Trump’s contradictory comments on Greenland in that ^ speech:
“And I also have a message tonight for the incredible people of Greenland. We strongly support your right to determine your own future. And if you choose, we welcome you into the United States of America. We need Greenland for national security and even international security. And we’re working with everybody involved to try and get it. But we need it really for international world security. And I think we’re going to get it — one way or the other, we’re going to get it. We will keep you safe. We will make you rich. And together, we will take Greenland to heights like you have never thought possible before. It’s a very small population but very, very large piece of land and very, very important for military security.”
The ten House Dems who voted to censure Rep. Green: Ami Bera of California, Ed Case of Hawaii, Jim Costa of California, Laura Gillen of New York, Jim Himes of Connecticut, Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington and Tom Suozzi of New York.
My reflections earlier today on the Dems and Al Green’s expulsion:
The liberal anti-fascist commentator and former US Labor Secretary Robert Reich rightly implored Democrats not to attend last Tuesday’s Trump rally in the US Capitol. “Democrats should boycott Trump's address tonight,” Reich wrote. “ If they feel they need to attend, they must not signal to the nation that we're living in normal times. Make good and loud trouble. Disrupt the speech. When he lies, boo loudly! Anything less will legitimize Trump’s coup.”
The dismal, demobilizing, dollar-drenched Weimar Dems, the nation’s party of “inauthentic opposition” (as Sheldon Wolin aptly labelled them during George W. Bush’s second term), did relatively little of that. They were given an opportunity during Trump’s sick speech to rise up in defiance to protect one of their nonwhite colleagues in the Democratic House delegation. But when the Christian Fascist House Speaker Mike Johnson ordered Rep. Al Green’s removal from the Congressional chamber for properly denouncing Trump’s false claim (see above) to have been given a “mandate” last fall, the House Dems sat there like scared school children as this proud Black man was physically expelled from “the people’s house.” Ten Weimar-to-Vichy House Dems have actually joined with the Republi-fascists in voting to censure Green for interrupting Mein Trumpf.
A small number of Democratic Congresspersons either boycotted the speech altogether or left in the middle and, but most attended and sat there passively, thereby helping, in Reich’s words, “legitimize Trump’s coup.” Truth is, not a single Democrat should have been present in the Congressional chamber when the malignant orange-sprayed ogre Mein Trumpf spoke two nights ago.
Oh, by the way, two other tru;y terrible stories that I found while doing research for this video and that illustrate the virulent racism of Trump and his fellow fascist sociopath Musk:
Trump last January pardoned two Washington DC police officers convicted of murdering a young Black man in 2020 —- and then the officers were hired back by the DC police: https://www.yahoo.com/news/answer-mother-demands-answers-trump-214005144.html
Reflecting his hatred for the US Civil Rights Movement, which he associates with the the anti-apartheid movement in his native South Africa, the white supremacist Afrikaner Elon Musk has ordered the dismantling of civil rights memorials and museums across the US South: https://www.alreporter.com/2025/03/06/historic-montgomery-bus-station-freedom-riders-museum-part-of-doge-ordered-sell-off/?
