To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow:
Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too.
Signed,
the American people
This is like that parable of the man in a flood. A rowboat comes - "No, God will save me." A motorboat comes - "No, God will save me." A helicopter comes - "No, God will save me." He drowns and asks God why He didn't save him. And God says, "I sent you two boats and helicopter!"
My problem with the “he wouldn't actually do it” and “institutional checks will step in to stop him” arguments regarding Greenland is that we are in this position precisely because, at every prior stage, he did do it and institutional checks failed to constrain this lunatic.
