Greenland issues ‘strong warning’ as US oil firm prepares to drill. The company shipped equipment without approval

Greenland Energy [the one year old Texas company] has retained Phil McGraw, better known as Dr Phil, a prominent rightwing former chatshow host who served on Trump’s religious freedom commission, to make a documentary series that will “capture the mission of these modern-day wildcatters”.

Who had "Dr. Phil makes a documentary on speculative imperialistic oil drilling in Greenland" on their bingo card.

I cant even make up corruption this blatant. My imagination is not this stupid.

SURELY THERE IS A CONGRESSIONAL REVIEW PROCESS FOR THE EXPORT OF ARMS. SURELY A CHECK OR BALANCS EXISTS. REFUSING THE SALE OF F35S TO CHINA THROUGH SAUDI WILL HAVE BIPARTICIAN SUPPORT.

The AECA contains procedures for congressional joint resolutions of disapproval concerning notified FMS and DCS transactions. Section 36(b)(1) of the AECA prohibits the U.S. government from issuing an LOA if Congress "enacts a joint resolution prohibiting the proposed sale."

GOOD GOOD WAIT

Congress has never successfully blocked a proposed arms sale via a joint resolution of disapproval.

WAIT

The President has the authority to waive the AECA statutory review periods

Clown government

Gavin Newsom is Not a Progressive

Do I like seeing him fuck with Trump? Yes.

Is he a dirty neo liberal? Yes.

Would I support him in a primary for President in 2028? Probably not. I sure hope someone better shows up.

Would I support him if he won the Democratic primary? Yes. Assuming we get elections. Assuming the DNC hasn't fully fractured and a third party candidate cannot reasonably win.

Would he fix our country? No. See item 2.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Its not hard, people.
