Aren’t you forgetting the Bacon Wars that will ensue?
The only problem with the Greenland distraction is – given the wealth of minerals, the fresh water, the land size – we can’t afford it.
Hell, we can’t afford to sell aspirin at the same cost as every other country in the world!
Denmark ‘open to dialogue’ with Donald Trump over security concerns on Greenland
Danish foreign minister says territory unlikely to ever be part of US, while French minister criticises president-elect
Already equivocating. Not “impossible”. Not “never”. Not “not open for negotiation”.
Unlikely.
Of course once they’re a U.S. territory they’ll be denied votes in national elections, and otherwise cut out of full citizenship rights for their inhabitants. And should a natural disaster strike they’ll suddenly be a bunch of leeches on the government teat, unable to fend for themselves.
Jesus Christ!! Why, Denmark? WHY?
You put a gun to someone’s head and they’ll sell you their car for whatever you say it’s worth.
Make the sick fuck GO to Denmark and bow to King Frederick.
Actually … it would be a beautiful picture if it was a sunrise/sunset … and I liked it, but, really it’s OH SHIT!
Stay safe
But they can claim the distinction of being part of a – how’d Trump put it – part of a shithole country.
The DoD and other agencies have gone to a “Continuous Vetting” process to monitor individuals with clearances. It’s not clear to me whether this include social media posts, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
However, I am retired, no longer have a clearance, and don’t intend to work again – assuming, of course that TSF doesn’t tank my Social Security and retirement accounts.
EXACTLY. Don’t be fooled by the sleight of hand. All of this foreign policy outrage is just purposeful distraction. There are so many other things we should be focused on and yelling about.
From Evan Hurst at Wonkette: "Zuckerberg, sitting at a table with his 1980s lesbian PE teacher haircut like he was running a bake sale for the JV girls’ volleyball team, explained that they were going to “get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse.”
I get your point, but you don’t shoot the car. Nuking Greenland would be a little self-defeating, mineralwise ; - )
Too bad he didn’t take his daughter with him.
Is it take your daughter to Hell day? I thought that was in March.
The classified documents case is ongoing, so releasing that report now would be prejudicial and against long-standing DoJ policy.
The term angertainment frequently gets used when it comes to Fox News and the attendant right wing media ecosystem.
We’d merely invade, occupy, and serve notice to both Greenland and Denmark their unwillingness to be reasonable forced our hand. It would be a bloodless coup. The current Greenland government would be deposed, driven from office, and Trump would decree a new sheriff was in town.
The daily trump bellow
I’d rather hear of Carter and his lying in State. But that is too much to ask.
But those paper towels should make decent insulation against the cold.
