KEY POINTS

Sen. Ruben Gallego, an Arizona Democrat, said he will introduce a resolution to block Donald Trump from invading Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory.

Concerns about U.S. action against Greenland have grown on the heels of the attack on Venezuela, which led to the capture of leader Nicolas Maduro.

“Everybody wants us to have a bigger presence in Greenland to combat the Russian/Chinese Arctic influence,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said.

    “Everybody wants us to have a bigger presence in Greenland to combat the Russian/Chinese Arctic influence,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said.

    For the kids in the audience, Lady G ran for President in 2015 (before trump rode the escalator to hell) and for his campaign announcement speech he basically filled a good half hour with flag-waving demands to attack Iran immediately. Like, that was the most important issue of his campaign. Which- Iran was not especially in the news for anything at the time, even.

    Sort of like when the Sandwich Artist comes out from behind the counter to talk about the weather and then goes on a thirty minute rant about the little people living in his teeth.

    A.k.a. Graham is a complete fucking tool who should never be acknowledged, much less quoted.
