The GOP are an embarrassment and a stain on the Earth.

    I almost want them to do it because +1 Congressman and +2 Senators. Annexing Greenland won’t go the way they think it will.

        Poison the shoreline and fresh water. The natives rely entirely on the sea. The mining will despoil the hell out of it, and the armed forces poisons any area just to give contracts to their pals to sell the shit in effect.

      It’d just become another territory with no representation I’m sure, like Puerto Rico or American Samoa.

    If the worst happened, Greenland would put Canada in a chokehold, isolated from European aid. Canada, the country with lots of oil that the US has threatened countless times.

    Its really funny that they saw Trump get in… Trouble? If you can even call it that? For invading Venezuela without permission. So congress better give him permission he wasn’t going to ask for, because surely that will make invading Greenland all good and legal.

      60k people on the island if I recall. I think each rep usually reps 600k or so but not sure. So one rep if they round up. Way up.

        They do round up, so in the very unlikely event of this ever passing - it would be given one congressman and two senators. All three would be Dems, so this will never happen.

        It’s just pure rage bait, intended to distract away from the Epstein Files, Venezuela, and Renee Goode.

    US: “So, Denmark, free for next Tuesday?”

    Denmark: “February works better for us. Second Friday of the month?”

    US: “No can do, torturing children that day…”

    Wants to skip to the end. Does the declaration also include a declaration of war? That’s what this will mean

    1 cosponsor. Ok sure. This bill goes nowhere, like the rest of them.

    Any outlet that covers legislation at the point of introduction is just trying to scare you. Well over 90% of bills never even leave the committee stage. Without signs of support from others in congress, an introduced bill has less weight than a press release.

    If you see the words “introduces bill” in a headline just ignore it the article is trash, solely intended to mislead.
