A few of Trumps supporters are very smart. If not also sociopath’s that only want to mold the future that best helps them. Well, the near future. They don’t even care about their children.

The mass… of… uneducated voters that support trump are mostly people that THINK that the government has never helped them. So, they only want to find a person to look down upon so that they may feel better than someone.

The easiest way to do that is through bigotry and racist ideals.

Even watching without sound, I found the Moment to be clear.

That said, he wasn’t an elected official. He was a spokesman for Roy Moore (AIUI).

The Arctic has a ton of floating ice, and Antarctica has huge shelves of ice that jut out past the land, but I think Greenland is basically just ice sitting directly on top of land. So the average altitude of Greenland will decrease as the ice melts, but the surface area stays about the same.

IIRC the weight of the ice has depressed the rock in the middle of Greenland until it is below sea level. Thus if it melts, a breach in the rim will undoubtedly be found, the sea floods in ala the Mediterranean, and you’ve got yourself a gigantic atoll.

The sea will never flood in, because the melted ice can never drop below sea level, it can’t flow uphill!

This could be the break that Ken Ham has been waiting for.

He was apparently a Shelby County commissioner or something like that. He ran for Alabama House of Representatives also.

Okay,but all I have with me is my drivers license (expired), SS card, and my marriage license (also expired for a different reason), but I don’t know how they’ll help you believe Wikipedia.

I think his “thought” process is:

1. Look at any map. Greenland is up top.

2. Space is up.

3. I’ll save the US tons of money by stationing the Space Force there.

Very possibly. But the Greenland thing is also about freshening up his branding as the Biggest Bully on the Block.

The original assertion was that “Mexico will pay for The Wall,” of course—and clearly that’s not going well. So this Greenland thing is another chance for Donald to claim that BBOTB mantle: while people are laughing about it, they’re also wondering, just a little, if the Trump Administration is doing some strong-arming of Denmark, to make them agree to something they don’t want to do (sell Greenland).

Big Bullies get what they want! And Donald is the Biggest Bully! Just wait and see what happens!

And somewhere in a windowless room deep in the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin smiles a sly little smile…
