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

    The reason Republicans block DC statehood is because the District votes Democratic, and they don’t want to give the Democrats more seats in Congress. How do they think Greenlanders would vote if conquered by Donald Trump?

        That’s implied by statehood. If they didn’t want Greenlanders voting they’d annex Greenland and make it an unincorporated territory like American Samoa.

        The whole thing is just bizarre!

            Oh no, definitely not. The lack of thinking only enhances the bizarreness of the situation. When you have ideologies that lead to this kind of tail-chasing, self-defeating nonsense, you know you’ve got something special!

      Which is why they are fighting to remove voting. You think they will get statehood and the right to vote? Their votes will be invalidated for being “biased”

    DC, Puerto Rico, Samoa, Guam, US Virgin Islands, if you want a 51st state, there are better options that don’t require starting a world war with our closest allies.

    This gigantic piece of shit is the guy who was pals with political pedos, randomly explodes in crazy tirades, and has been held in contempt of court multiple times, including just yesterday for violent behavior. Also ordered to take an anger management course.

    Total piece of shit.

    It’s especially weird that Trump isn’t the only one in the US government who’s batshit insane.

    I still can’t quite believe it’s real. I’ve always been a cynic and always expected the worst of the government, but this is so far, and in such an unexpected direction, beyond anything I expected.

    We really are governed by demented morons.

      Honestly if this is unexpected, you haven’t been paying close enough attention for a decade or two. Or more.

      It’s been increasing for many decades. The reason Trump is still in office is because the legislature has such a high percentage of crazies in it.

    yeah that’s not how it works lmfao even if this passes and gets signed the world doesn’t just suddenly agree to its decree. it will not make Greenland our 51st state in any real capacity other than paperwork and no enforceable action at all. …so… ok lol. also, definitely gives us more Dem reps. that’ll work out in their favor for sure. Greenland would not run Red.

    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.
