“The United States has reached out to Denmark…”

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

    Citizen of the United States here. Don’t. Assume whatever this orange anal fistula offers to pay will in fact not be paid. Assume whatever agreement brokered will immediately be ignored or violated. Assume this pus filled clementine will still try to “take” Greenland.

    Let this shithole 3rd world country burn. It asked for fascism in the form of egg prices, let them deal with their egg prices.

      Also a Yank. At this point we really do deserve the punishment. I just hope that when we get a new administration in a little less than four years the world has a shred of sympathy for us.

        It will only take two years if people actually fucking vote in the midterms. But midterm turnout is historically… Well… Complete dogshit. And republicans are statistically more likely to vote in midterms.

        That’s why Trump is moving so fast to try and secure things; He doesn’t truly have four years to cement himself as god-emperor. He only has two before he potentially loses his majority in congress. So he has to be crowned before then.

        But even with that being said, I don’t have high hopes. As I said before, republicans are more likely to vote in midterms. Maybe Trump’s antics will be enough to get some blue voters off of their asses. But at this point, I’m not holding my breath.

      What’s ironic is that from all countries he is asking Denmark. Greenland is An autonomous territory under the kingdom of Denmark.

      I heard that before asking Greenland he was asking Canada as well.

          I think that’s the point. Bullying/Threatening countries and then “asking” them for help. Then if they don’t oblige he uses it to booster support for the bullying and threats. Similar ordeal with cutting aid to Egypt and then asking them to take something like 1.5 million people in from Gaza that Trump doesn’t want on their homeland.

    I would love to see NATO countries (besides the US) band together and say:

    ”We will come together to support our great ally, so long as she saves herself. Upon the acceptance of President Trump’s and Vice President Vance’s resignation, we will provide the aid that our friend needs."

    Trump could, in fact, be the hero here. He could walk away from the presidency with a win. For added measure, these countries could write lofty and wonderful articles about Trump’s selflessness.

    We know he won’t.

    Aside: I’m not saying Mike Johnson would make a good president. But let’s take this one thing at a time.

      Honestly, I love this idea. Why aren’t America’s former allies calling for the resignation of Trump and Vance? Let the American people know that if they want cheaper eggs, and better trade deals, they’re going to have to find a way to get rid of these traitors who have seized power.

      It’s a weird feeling, being what feels like a sane person in an insane country run by insane people. Hearing people tell us to go fuck ourselves when we probably agree with everything they are saying. And really not even blaming them for feeling that way based on the absolute lunatics in charge and how they behave.

      Hear me out - apply a tariff from EU to Canada on eggs (stay with me). Apply a tariff 2X that tariff to the US on eggs imported from Canada. Something something, profit

          That’s about $3 USD per dozen. Maybe not as cheap as it used to be in America, but closer than it is now. And from a farmers market, no less.

              Better conditions for animals cost money. I’d rather no one eat eggs, but it’s an improvement. Infustrial faming is a travesty.

            Oh ya! The fancy ones. They’ll cost.

            I get Farm eggs, local, at my Grover for 3.79 doz. I can get the regular big corporate ones for 2.99-3.99 depending on where/day/etc.
