Greenland is going to have elections because the leader of the free world could not give one fuck about Denmark’s sovereignty. Then he side-eyed the camera and said one of things he ought not to out loud, “We are going to take it no matter what happens.” Not a thing about China. And fuck that old man Biden for cancelling our Navy so we need to rebuild all the ships and submarines again, and fast. And who wants a ride in Elon’s heavy-lift rocket to Mars first? Americans invented everything! Von Braun and 1500 German rocket engineers? Are the schools indoctrinating our children into believing the Saturn V was not entirely designed by American ingenuity and American only. And American calculus and astrophysicists? Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planted the American flag on the Moon, as any maritime law allows for. Yet they claimed it for the entirety of Earth. McKinley was a great President and Teddy Roosevelt was a moron to build the Panama Canal and make a treaty to give it back. Cuba should be American. Philippines. Canada. Greenland. Maybe Russia and China will say something to the contrary when Mars is claimed as USA’s alone for perpetuity. Next up the Galilean Moons of Jupiter and the USA will plant flags there too. ---

So why exactly do they want to take Social Security away? I really don’t know where the money is supposed to go. ---

> [@Kolak\_of\_Twilo](#): > > to take Social Security away Damn, missed that. To balance the budget and work off the **$36.22 trillion** debt. We can easily do it by selling 7 billion gol-igarch citizen cards. Since Reagan I’ve assumed if there wasn’t a nuclear war I’d never see one Eisenhower - a “moderate” President dime. ---
