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

Wait. This isn’t the onion?

This shit is ridiculous.

So you're a far left liberal lunatic?! Nope. You are me from years ago but will be accused of it now by the far right clowns. Another point I tried to reiterate for years I'm a centrist and never registered for a party until 2020 Caucus.

I'm waiting for MAGA Republicans to do something that actually surprises me and not makes me laugh at them. It's all so believable.

The actual comedy of his first 2 weeks is that the board MAGAs generally don't respond quickly to threads about this kind of foolishness. Deep down even they know it's all ridiculous but have to use a MAGA processor or wait for the talking points, so there is generally a bit of a delay before they pop into a thread defending this stupid shit. It's been really noticeable.

I am waiting for the shoe to drop on the first land or body of water to be named after Trump but I think that is already earmarked for the Gaza Strip.

Kind of into it.

What would surprise me is serious legislation of any kind out of the House GOP.

Elon wants his minerals. WTF.

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.

I get why you want this, but I could see it backfire.

I am worried the Dems will throw every last issue at disinterested voters instead of sticking to a clean narrative about how Trump has made things worse for the average person’s pocketbook.

I agree, but not really talking about procedural points and arcane legal issues, just talking ads and messaging

The tough part is the GOP absolutely will lie and claim they cut trillions from the budget. And people will believe them.

 

[What Would Jesus Do?]

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.

I love this argument. Because we're on the hook to defend it, we should own it.

So we should own the UK, France, Canada, Spain, Japan, Australia, Turkey, Israel, etc., etc., thanks to our NATO and other treaty obligations.

If you agree to let us defend you, we own you.

In before Buddy @Scruddy posts a tweet about how this is going to work out fantastic for America.

I was just about to add him to my ignore list. I'll wait for this one, though.

Sadly you are right. I am 100% convinced that the net outcome of all of Trump’s actions ,if they are allowed to proceed, will be an increase in the deficit beyond Biden’s rate. But Trump and team will just lie and say they fixed the deficit.

trump increased the deficit every year in his first term

and ended with the largest single budget deficit ever (a record he still holds, but isn't responsible for of course)

Yep, and nothing I have seen from musk so far makes me think the next 4 years will be any different.
