Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday assured that the Biden administration has no desire to buy Greenland — a reported desire of former President Trump’s that never came to fruition and set off a diplomatic fallout.
Freakin’ child
It’s just as well, it’s mostly ice anyway.
Texas is getting crowded! This was a good solution. Damn it Biden!
Ya gott a love shade, making the fool Trump look like a fool. That is an easy task.
”The Wall Street Journal first reported in 2018 that Trump was eyeing Greenland…”
It’s only because he was looking to dump Guam for a younger, more attractive ocean landmass.
He was also angry that Denmark would not rename Danish pastries “Trumpies”.
That ice could conceivably be the oil of the last half of this century.
Fun Fact: the Greenland Ice Cap has so much mass that it raises the surrounding sea level. As the Greenland Ice Cap continues to melt it will contribute to sea level rise everywhere except around Greenland where the gravitational mass of ice will decrease and cause a drop in sea level around Greenland.
It’s like having to apologize for your redneck neighbors’ stupid aggressive dog that shits on the other neighbor’s lawn and humps the leg of any visitor.
Christ, what a fucking embarrassment (and war criminal, and rapist, and grifter, and traitor) he was.
Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the District of Columbia all deserve statehood. President Trump could have made his mark with these. He didn’t.
All of the mentioned territories have more people, by far, than Greenland.
If the good people of Greenland want to be an American state, I say sure, why not. I see no reason why they would want this, however.
“They said they wouldn’t give me a pony. I’m taking my little balls and going home.”
Nobody told me there was gonna be geomorphology in these boards. I should isostatic rebound right out of here.
Well, thank you, Denmark, is all I can say. They seem to have a sense of humor about our little misadventure with electing moron presidents. I will never forget the shame, but I’ll also never forget the worldwide eruption of joy when they finally called it for Joe. Denmark was the first European nation I ever visited, and I had a lovely time there. My relatives would go to Scandinavia and come back impressed with how “clean” it was and I thought Oh God you dopes but when I went myself I saw what they were trying to say; it was orderly, it was rational, it was sophisticated and just plain nice. I saw two cars skid into each other out the hotel window one day, and the drivers got out, looked at their bumpers for a moment, saw no damage, shrugged and drove away. No yelling, no fistfights. That happens here too between reasonable people but it seemed emblematic while I was there, like reasonable was standard.
Well, it’s no Wallachia, that’s for sure.
(But de gustibus non est disputandum, I guess.)
Seems like a great place for the Greater Idaho movement…
My wife works for a Danish company, and pre pandemic would travel there once a year or so.
Right now, it seems, that Denmark is behind the united states in vaccination. This was apparent in a recent zoom meeting where my wife and a colleague, both fully vaccinated, were in the same room and maskless. The participants in Denmark were shocked.
D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam just didn’t appeal to him for some strange, absolutely positively not racist, reason.
Saw this…
Ah yes, the state of foreign policy during the Reign of Error of that former guy. Let’s hand the mic over to a former Secretary of State for a summary.
“He’s a fucking moron.”
Thank you, Mr. Tillerson. That will be all.
the idea of purchasing the country was “absurd,” a word Trump later called “terrible” and “not a nice statement.”
Yes, horrible. So let me translate that for Donnie Dimwit: “Go fuck yourself, you fucking idiot!”
There that’s better.
