Doubt they would do it, but a boss-move by Greenland would be to refuse them entry as undesirables.
If it’s not an official visit at Greenland’s invitation what boots it, eh?

Well, the motives of the delegation are incendiary, to stir discontent by nefarious means.

Sounds to me like it’s time for Judge Boasberg to hold a contempt hearing and suggest that AG Bondi and her merry band of minions need to be present in court. With their toothbrushes, because whoever does turn up is going to get some leave time in a jail cell.

I’ve been floating the idea that every Greenlander including government officials should refuse to speak English to the Vance team, and use the official language of Greenlandic instead. Force Vance to bring his own interpreter. English is widely spoken in the larger towns and tourist areas, but they don’t have to use it for this unwanted visit.

A comment in the WaPo this morning asked if we can be sure that the VP in the Houthi text chain was ‘Vice President’ and not Vladimir Putin.

The FULL Signal chat string was published this morning by the Atlantic. The prissy ass bitch Press Secretary replied that Goldberg obviously oversold the story because what he published are “Attack” plans, NOT war plans. OY…what a stupid bimbo. This SHOULD BE a fatal blow to this administration. Okay…I know it’s not, but it could be A blow. Maybe it will put starch in the shorts of some of the wavering Repub senators.

Google Translate doesn’t include Greenlandic, but Danish is also spoken there, so that would be “Jeg taler ikke engelsk.”
“Fuck dig JD.”

I guess Balls and Strikes Roberts will save us from the creature that he and fellow traitors have created, right?
I kid myself if I’m not killing myself sometimes.

translate.google.com doesn’t list Greenlandic (or Athabaskan or Dine or anything else I can think of that might be distantly related) but it does have Danish.
Jeg taler ikke engelsk.
H/T to @zenicetus who got there a little before me.
