NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:

President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

Trump yet again inserting himself into sports with an Army-Navy game EO

Posted by RVA <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=RVA' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on January 18, 2026, 12:15:19, in reply to "Political thread for the week of January 12th *"

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/president-trump-army-navy-football-executive-order-postseason-cfp/

There's rumblings that an expanded playoff might encroach onto the traditional (*since 2009) Saturday for the game.

I like the Army-Navy game both for its football and its place in college football culture but I think it's losing some of its luster when it has to be exclusively set apart from the rest of the calendar. I think The Troops can handle other teams playing at the same time as them.

Also, Army and Navy have been having some good years lately. Play the game before the conclusion of the regular season and let them compete for conference championships, better bowls, and possibly even a playoff appearance. Create a special block for it the day after Thanksgiving if it really need no other games happening at the same time but it's embarrassing for the sport and the country to have to have to unnecessarily coddle this one game.

He needs everyone to be looking at him at all times.*

Trump Sets Fraudster Free From Prison for a Second Time

Posted by ATL <iframe src='https://mb.boardhost.com/TheDeuce/info/user=ATL' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on January 16, 2026, 13:15:46, in reply to "Political thread for the week of January 12th *"

that's it, that's the headline

The woman, Adriana Camberos, was initially convicted in 2017 for her role in a scheme to sell millions of counterfeit bottles of the caffeinated drink 5-Hour Energy. After her sentence was commuted by Mr. Trump in 2021, she was convicted again in 2024 in an unrelated fraud. When she was pardoned in the new case this week, it marked the second time Mr. Trump had opened the prison gates for her.

The pardons, most of which have not been previously reported, were supported by people with close ties to Mr. Trump’s orbit, including lawyers who had previously worked for him.

They continue a trend in which the president has used the unfettered presidential clemency power to reward allies and those who have paid his associates or donated to his political operation. They stand in contrast to Justice Department guidelines that prioritize the clemency applications of people who have completed their prison sentences or demonstrated remorse and a lower likelihood of recidivism.

Tactically speaking. I think gerrymandering and mid-decade redistricting is messed up in general but unless it's addressed on a national level you have to do everything you can to claw seats for yourself.

But I think they are setting themselves up to get out over their skis and potentially lose some competitive seats. In 2021, in a wave of Critical Race Theory hysteria that immediately subsided the moment Glenn Youngkin took office, they did put Republicans in the Gov., Lt. Gov., and A.G. spots. I think it's possible conservatives stir up something similar in future races. Newly elected Dem. Gov. Abigail Spanberger has made gun reform a key issue on her platform and I can see that being the thing that galvanizes Republicans or they could come up something completely absurd like the previous time around.

Meanwhile Dem. Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner are doing everything they can to demotivate their constituents right now with their I support a lot of what Trump is doing but could he be nicer about it stances on many of the issues. So I wouldn't be surprised if this backfires.

Would be good to tie it to actions in other states - i.e., triggered only if Indiana does it

Tactically speaking. I think gerrymandering and mid-decade redistricting is messed up in general but unless it's addressed on a national level you have to do everything you can to claw seats for yourself.

But I think they are setting themselves up to get out over their skis and potentially lose some competitive seats.

Trying to overdo the gerrymandering to squeeze out extra seats above an already gerrymandered map forces the parties to create districts with narrower party majorities. So if things shift a little bit, they could actually end up creating a larger number of competitive swing districts.

I question how we come back from it? Yeah, it's probably the right solution for now, but we keep setting precedent that no one wants to set. We probably should have packed the court, but I'm glad we didn't because Trump would put up 10 more justices on day one.

They have already surpassed us or are close to it pretty much across the board, while the US elites still have a 40 year old world view of us as the pre-eminent global power.

And we are also diving head first into 4 years of national self-destruction that will exhaust us and leave China as the dominant power by default.

The positive aspect is they are taking climate change seriously and are driving a worldwide revolution in renewables and EVs. And unlike 20 or 30 years ago, the fact that the US GOP is a bunch of denialists who are trying to prevent any American efforts in this area basically doesn’t matter globally.

They're American, all right, and the patriotism they claim—an old, small, ignorant version, but one that for those reasons nevertheless has some claim on the word—is just one of many. Before they put on plate carriers and masks and threw themselves into the dirty business of terrorizing their neighbors and breaking their families, they were still identifiable as who and what they are and always were—seething, unappeasable, deliriously and defiantly pig-stupid, and absolutely a threat to the peace and comfort and flourishing of everyone and anything else. The masks only make them easier to see.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/business/china-trade-surplus-exports.html

China announced on Wednesday the world’s largest trade surplus ever, even adjusting for inflation, as a tsunami of exports flooded markets around the world last year.

China’s surplus, the value of goods and services it sold abroad versus its imports, reached $1.19 trillion, an increase of 20 percent from 2024, according to data released by the country’s General Administration of Customs. The number had already exceeded $1 trillion through November.

The country’s surplus is still widening: For December alone, China’s surplus reached $114.14 billion, propelled by surging exports to the European Union, Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia. It was the third-highest monthly surplus on record, trailing only January and June last year.

The enormous trade surplus for the full year came despite efforts by President Trump to use tariffs to contain China’s factories. The tariffs reduced China’s trade surplus with the United States by 22 percent last year. But Chinese factories increased sales to other regions, in many cases bypassing American tariffs by shipping goods to the United States through Southeast Asia and elsewhere.

7-2. Bost v Illinois Board of Education. The court ruled that Bost, a member of Congress, has standing to sue over election rules because he is a candidate for office and "has a personal stake in the rules that govern the counting of votes in his election." The decision is not on the merits of his claim, only that he may proceed.

Illinois law requires election officials to count mail-in ballots postmarked or certified no later than election day and received within two weeks of election day. Congressman Michael Bost and two other political candidates filed a lawsuit claiming that counting ballots received after election day violates federal law. They principally contended that doing so conflicts with 2 U. S. C. §7 and 3 U. S. C. §1, which set election day as the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. The district court dismissed the case, and the Seventh Circuit affirmed on the ground that petitioners lacked standing.

Held: As a candidate for office, Congressman Bost has standing to challenge the rules that govern the counting of votes in his election.

"The Trump administration sent shockwaves through the U.S. mental health and drug addiction system late Tuesday, sending hundreds of termination letters, effective immediately, for federal grants supporting health services."

They don't care about the actual lives of any of those people so might as well juice the numbers.

"This move comes on top of deep Medicaid cuts, passed last year by the Republican-controlled Congress, which affect numerous mental health and addiction care providers.

"Kessler told NPR he's hearing alarm from care providers nationwide that the safety net for people experiencing an addiction or mental health crisis could unravel."

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is demanding the university turn over names and personal information about Jewish members of the Penn community as part of the administration’s stated goal to combat antisemitism on campuses. But some Jewish faculty and staff have condemned the government’s demand as “a visceral threat to the safety of those who would find themselves identified because compiling and turning over to the government ‘lists of Jews’ conjures a terrifying history”, according to a press release put out by the groups’ lawyers.

Ask Iranian women, for example.

In that case, I suppose I'm relieved that I didn't.

Powerful forces are coalescing behind the Pahlavi family. Other powerful forces are firmly behind the regime.

Maybe Iranian men like their power over women, and maybe they like it enough to support the regime.

Maybe a benevolent dictator would be ideal.

I've known a lot of Iranian men and women over the last few decades, and my experience is that the ones who hate the regime don't live in Iran. But they have brothers and cousins who like it well enough. And just like America, there are more women who "vote" against what you might perceive as "their own interests."

I would prefer to see a democratic republic in Iran.

Religious nutjob attempts to burn down historic Mississippi synagogue

He hasn't weighed in yet on Israeli policy in Gaza so TBD if this is an antisemitic attack.

https://www.mississippifreepress.org/suspect-in-beth-israel-burning-called-it-a-synagogue-of-satan/

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Stephen Pittman beamed into federal Magistrate Judge Andrew Harris’ Jackson courtroom from his hospital bed on Monday, his IV visible on a TV screen as the judge asked the man accused of setting Beth Israel Congregation on fire if he understood his rights.

“Yes sir,” Pittman said. “Jesus Christ is Lord.”

He is the suspect in an arson fire at a synagogue that was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan decades ago. The FBI said on Monday that he admitted to targeting the historic institution because it’s a Jewish house of worship and confessed what he had done to his father, who turned him in to authorities after observing burn marks on his son’s ankles, hands and face.

Pittman was charged with maliciously damaging or destroying a building by means of fire or an explosive. The 19-year-old suspect confessed to lighting a fire inside the building, which he referred to as “the synagogue of Satan,” according to an FBI affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Mississippi on Monday.

He is 100% directly responsible for this even if he didn’t have a meeting with Pirro to order her to do it. And if he didn’t want it to go forward he could easily quash the case. The idea that in this one instance out of thousands from the past year he is going to feel constrained by norms of prosecutorial independence is something that nobody with a functioning neocortex could possibly believe. In fact, basic brain stem activity is more than enough to reject that ludicrous idea.

There's no credible evidence that its the alt of a current poster. All other conservative voices have stopped posting in any political discussions and im not ready to have 0 conservative voices, no matter how much I disagree.

This is a fake account that somebody has created to rile people up. It's not designed to further discussion. It's not designed to be genuine.

It's designed to troll and rile people up.

If that's not a cause for a nuking of an account, then I'm not sure what is.

And I'm sure somebody will respond with "well, just ignore it". Same argument for this whole ICE guy killing the lady in MN. If she had just been calm, then it wouldn't have happened. OR if ICE wasn't deployed as a freaking paramilitary BEFORE the incident, then the incident wouldn't have happened. That's the point.

and also because it puts the onus on the people who are already doing the work of making the community function. The entire reason humans came up with the social contract was to tell bad actors that they can either conform to the norms or they're gone, one way or another.

Conservative voices are not being prevented or discouraged from being on this board. Almost everyone here is slightly to the right of center on any sane political spectrum. I'm sure supporters of the current regime think twice about posting here, which I take as a badge of honor. They can stay over on ish-chan and wish us all violence and cuckoldry to their hearts' content.

He'd come here straight from Twitter to post something he just saw but it would at least be topical and the dunking on him would typically clarify the context/content he had left out.

I know the CW is that they want violence so they can declare martial law and cancel the midterms, but if that's their plan, they're gonna find a pretext, with or without further violence.

Further, even if the midterms happen and the Dems take the House and the Senate, I have no faith that anything about this will change.

A general strike might work as a less-violent option, but there's nowhere near enough buy-in for that yet (which is kinda sad in itself).

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/trump-signs-order-protect-venezuelan-oil-revenue-held-us-accounts-2026-01-10/

Trump said he wants $100B in investment into Venezuelan oil infrastructure (I think the real figure is at least double that).

They floated the balloon of taxpayer dollars as a reimbursement to these oil companies for their investment, but that went over like a fart in church, especially in a midterm year.

The time and money needed to build up VZ, then drill new rigs and get them producing- it's probably 2028 before we see any significant uptick more than a couple hundred thousand barrels.

No wonder the CEOs are saying it's a stupid fucking idea, because it is a stupid fucking idea.

All so they can get some of the worst quality oil in the world.

Or, more accurately.............
So we can prevent China from getting it.

And now there's unrest in Iran, you say?

As you note, it would take a huge capital investment to start production and given that, expanding production is only profitable if prices are a lot higher than they are now.

So, if the Trump administration was minimally competent, it would be obvious all the oil talk was a smokescreen to disguise their real reason for the attack. However, it’s very possible the top admin officials were too ignorant to know that, and just made a decision based on the claimed total oil reserves. (And presumably Trump wanted to extract a bunch of the profit from that oil to enrich himself.)

So now, they are pivoting to try and fleece the US taxpayer to get them to subsidize development costs, in order to enable the grift and corrupt profit skimming that was Trump’s primary motivation.

ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips both lost billions in Venezuela when the country nationalized the oil industry. $10B and $12B, respectively.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/business/energy-environment/trump-venezuela-oil-exxon-mobil-conocophillips.html

Trump just signed an EO "to safeguard Venezuelan oil revenue", which prohibits these companies from making a claim against future oil profits to recoup what the Venezuelan government owes them.

Trump actually said, "We're not going to look at what people lost in the past because that was their fault," aka "eat a dick, Exxon and Conoco"

this is a fantastic read that gets into the way the petrodollar has tentacles in so much of our economy

https://thetimelessinvestor.substack.com/p/the-petrodollar-origins-endurance

and venezuela has been taking billions of yuan from china for their oil.

so we have to regime change to protect the petrodollar.

i think trump thought he could sell the oil execs on this being a great idea, but they all understand the situation far better than he does and know it's a money pit.

and, as i said, iran is teetering. we already don't like them and they've got the 3rd most oil (though it may be 2nd, as i think VZ's numbers are hilariously bullshit- but that's a different discussion).

and what about you, nigeria? do you need some help?
