Bill to authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as "Red, White, and Blueland".

I don't think The Onion could have come up with this idea.
I thought this had to be satire, but alas we are that dumb.
Hate the new name. Stick with Greenland.
Mike Johnson sure has a handle on his caucus.
I hope the Dems are keeping a list and just roll this stuff back next year in campaign season.

Doing the hard work to better the life of his constituents.
Yes, Republicans have turned government into a joke.
I mean I almost want this to happen just for the sheer fact it’s so fuking stupid
I figured they’d call it Lee Greenland
Greenland could be renamed "Red, White and Blueland" if a GOP lawmaker gets his way and Donald Trump is able to absorb the Arctic island into the United States.
Trump has repeatedly stated his intention to take over the Danish territory for national security purposes despite Danish officials insisting the sparsely populated land is not for sale.
Georgia Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) put forth a bill Tuesday called the "Red, White, and Blueland Act of 2025." According to the Post, the act "directs the secretary of the interior’s team to ensure federal paperwork gets updated to the new name and gives a six-month deadline to complete that task."
In a statement to The New York Post, Carter declared, “America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland."
He continued, "President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”
Greenland's natural resources in the focus of Trump administration
According to The Post, "Secretary of State Marco Rubio has defended the president’s goal of taking Greenland by highlighting U.S. military support for the island territory and a 1951 treaty to defend it in the event of an attack."
Rubio said during a podcast interview, “If we’re already on the hook for having to do that, then we might as well have more control over what happens there. This is not a joke. This is not about acquiring land for the purpose of acquiring land. This is in our national interest and it needs to be solved.”
A new poll commissioned by Danish newspaper Berlingske and Greenlandic daily Sermitsiaq, found that just six percent of Greenlanders want to be absorbed by the U.S.
The congressman also posted to social media, "RT for Red, White, & Blueland," with a drawing of the territory sporting a "USA" sign.
Reaction to Rep. Carter's suggestion has been harsh. One person posted, "IM SORRY, A BILL TO RENAME GREENLAND TO 'Red, White, and Blueland'. Are they that dumb? This is embarrassing and cringe," while another posted, "Clown. Show."

After we acquire Canada, Greenland, and Panama, I suggest we rename them West Canada, East Canada, and South Canada.*
*edited to note that given RapinoeBeatByHSFreshmen's wow emoji, this was supposed to be a joke

In before Buddy @Scruddy posts a tweet about how this is going to work out fantastic for America.
Given this, how are we different from other countries who invade foreign states?
Such an alpha move. The world will really respect the U.S. now.
I tried to warn you all the shit we were in for. Don't blame me I voted for the email lady, Biden and Harris.
You’re asking the truck balls crowd?
Don’t blame me either.
I put country ahead of party and voted the exact same way.
"And then let's name it, Red, White, and Blueland!!!"
That sounds like something a 1st or 2nd grader would suggest naming it. Like he just looked around the room, saw a flag, and then rolled with it from there

There is a bit of a tradition of occasional "trolling" bills, going back at least to that time Pete Stark had the 'bill' loaded with references to doctors selling Amway.
But this is next level stuff.

I've been thinking Trump is going to drive The Onion out of business because you can't parody farce.
That's some comedy gold there. Bravo! Chapeau! Encore! Author!
I used to think people who said "Idiocracy was a movie, not an instruction manual!" were silly. Now I have to apologize and admit they were right. That shit is looking like a documentary from the future right now.
I have no doubt that MAGAts will welcome our new, indigenous, non-English-speaking, full citizens with open arms.

GOP - solving the problems of working Americans.
Speaking of waste in government, that guy is a waste.
You know, when I saw the picture of carter, what immediately sprang to mind is James Traficante.
I mean, technically we have never invaded the sovereign country of Canada.
If you ran a poll on Canadian independence I bet most wouldn't have guessed after Reagan's election.
apropos of the Nancy Mace thread, this is where that whole "speech and debate clause" immunity comes in. Or at least for Rep. Carter it does.
I think in the current version of the test, all the answers are either "Quebecois," "First Peoples," or "Labatts Brewing Company".
