    American law name: Sunshine, Happiness, and Rainbows Act

    American law contents: There will be a $500 tax to look at a rainbow and the President is authorised to sell exclusive rights to sunshine at an auction to tech bros. Happiness is now a controlled substance and illegal possession of it without a prescription is now punishable by 30 years imprisonment. Also, strawberry ice cream is now banned, $50 million for a bridge in Indiana, and the salary of the Deputy Archivist is increased by 6% starting next fiscal year.

    Please let me suck your orange cock harder, daddy Trump! As an additional kink: only the poor kids will have to face death from combat.

    -Representative Randy Fine (R-Fla.)

    Every day it feels like Republicans are trying to speed run to guillotines.

    This dumb fucking ape is new to DC, after having been a MAGA terror in the Florida legislature for years. He just won some special election, maybe Matt Gaetz’ old seat.

    He is all about slurping the butt of whatever MAGA is above him. In Florida, it was DeSantis, now it will be Trump. Expect lots of eye-rolling sycophantic behavior like this in the future.

          Maybe. Small consolation prize. Puerto Rico doesn’t pay federal income taxes, though they do get citizenship.

          American Samoans don’t pay federal income taxes but they also don’t get citizenship.

    In 1898 they annexed Hawaii by a joint resolution of Congress, after some business goons and Marines overthrew the Queen of Hawaii in 1893 and a few years of negotiations. The Hawaiians by majority did not want to be annexed.

    Greenland is a territory of Denmark, a member of NATO, and they also don’t want to be annexed so this is a bit different. Congress should vote to not go to war with NATO.

    So if they’re going to be a state, do they realize that they would be a blue state by default? Like, they would make California look like a red state.

    And the rebellion there would cause need for millitary action. Which they would lose. This would be like vietnam, except you just forced them to have legal rights within your own government.
