that
Sounds about right. Perhaps they could convince him that he just bought Grope-land.
Anyway, sounds like Trump believes he has successfully negotiated the concept of a framework of a tentative plan. Probably the plan is something like “The US may now put military bases in Greenland for the mutual defense of NATO treaty countries.” They will have convinced him this is a new plan - probably put his name on it, and give him a shiny gold medal.
That would be my suspicion, too. I really really doubt that Denmark is willing to say, “sure, yes, we’re giving Greenland to you,” but a deal like you describe does feel plausible.
Not only plausible… It has existed since 1951, as the Greenland Defense Agreement. At one point, the US had 6000 soldiers stationed in a dozen or so bases in Greenland. The only tricky part is putting Trump’s name on it somewhere, and locating a shiny gold medal.
Aw, come on! All bases have latrines where his name would fit.
Gold urinal cakes! With his picture. Probably one where his mouth is open.
Surely Trump wouldn’t just Fuck something up only to undo his action, reinstate the existing thing, and then claim that he alone fixed the problem? No, that’s not like Trump at all
I saw it on a Xitter post. Here it is in an article.
After the speech, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back against a post on X by a journalist, Libbey Dean, who wrote that “President Trump appeared to mix up Greenland and Iceland around three times.”
“No he didn’t, Libby. His written remarks referred to Greenland as a ‘piece of ice’ because that’s what it is. You’re the only one mixing anything up here,” Leavitt fired back on X, misspelling the journalist’s name.
Been there, done that.
For some reason, I thought of this quote from Allied Mastercomputer.
Hate. Let me tell you how much I’ve come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word ‘hate’ was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.
I have a mouth, and I still feel like screaming.
Rules for Trump’s “Board of Peace”;
Trump thought he was meeting with Davros. (No doubt to make an alliance.)
I’m not shocked. Is anyone here shocked? Didn’t think so.
Anyone–including Yurpeens–who was shocked hasn’t been paying attention.
Luckily it’s only a myth I’m unable to learn anything. I know better than to consume any food products, especially liquids, while reading posts here.
I disagree. The Republicans carried areas they will carry next election, the election after that, and for many elections to come (assuming, of course, we stil have elections and not just sham North Korean style ones). Anything the Democrats said in the past few elections and say in the future ones will be roundly discounted by the majority Republicans in those areas. They’re even discounting facts such as a conviction. What can Democrats do in response to that?
Right. He’s just plain stupid. Contrary to popular belief, having money ≠ being smart. C’mon. How can someone who grew up in New York City not Know Puerto Rico is part of the United States? The answer to that, of course, is he’s just plain stupid.
Christ, with all the inanities from this clown, I’d completely forgotten about that. It’s over a month from now, so there’s some hope, at least, he’s not in office by that date.
I think that’s a bit unfair to him. This Wiki page discusses the transfer of sovereignty to Mauritious. In short, the UK’s stunts (and that’s what they were) involving how they got BIOT and how they treated the locals were in violation of international law. The transfer of sovereignty is the right thing to do.
That’s a great letter. I’ll be sending it my senators, both of whom are Democrats. My representative, sadly, is not only a Republican, but a die-hard trumpist.
Wow. Speaking of jokes, I’ve one you might enjoy.
A: Have you heard the joke about the president, Trump?
B: No, what is it?
A: That’s the whole joke.
Also, speaking of jokes, the magaflatearthers will say that his comment about the Swiss would be speaking German if it weren’t for the United States is just him joking. That, of course, ignores the simple fact he’s never joked in his life. That would require empathy, among other human emotions. He has none.
I bet he’s pissed he’s not allowed to use his own private plane, that flying “tacky as a French whorehouse” abomination for official business, with the federal government paying him rent for its use.
And with two hands looking like they’re holding the pisser’s member!
Is war criminal and felon’s flack Hegseth going to call for another retired officer’s court-martial?
No doubt, Petie’s going to say the “without cause” is damaging morale. He’ll also whine about her wearing ribbons on the right breast. Just so’s you know, she’s wearing her medals, ribbons, badges, and rank insignia correctly.
Which reminds me, has anyone ever dug up a picture of Hegseth in full dress uniform? I’d love to know if he’s been wearing it incorrectly or was wearing unauthorized awards.
And now Rip van Simple is warning Iran he had better not die, for their sake.
Mind you, the felon brought on the ire of Iran’s goverment himself.
And, apparently, Rip van Simple slept through that briefing.
Felon Fangirl Peters claims she’s being punished by imaginary penalty. (The bolding is mine.)
Sounds believable, right? Well, no.
So no real decision has been made about charges. This next bit, though, is golden. The bolding is mine.
Now a request for those with a hardier mettle than I have for such things: Can you observe the magaflatearth crowd to see how they are responding to this latest fraud from Peters?
But, hey, her idol has her back.
Of course not. The dude’s blathering. There will be no charges. He didn’t even bother to say it would be two weeks. This timeframe is even vaguer than his usual criminality.
And the criminal-in-chief has a new band of brothers heroes!
& (The bolding is mine.)
But, fear not, my fellow Americans, God is proud of Rip van Simple.
It would take an entire brand-new language to adequately describe how unfit Rip van Simple is.
Thank you. Sometimes I wonder if anyone remembers history… and the lessons the opposition we should learn from. (I’m all for the Marquis of Queensbury rules; but it’s time to start fighting like the third monkey on the ramp to the ark.)
