What in the name of sanity is this maniac talking about?
Annexing Greenland???
Does he mean like Hitler annexed the Sudetenland? Is he mentally ill?
America doesn't "annex" sovereign lands.
Canada, the Panama Canal, now Greenland...Please send suggestions for favorite EDM artists/mixes, more dubstep than hard techno, need some new music to deal with this!

The delirious You Know Who has spoken. In its usual ignorant blatherings.
It's a deliberate misreading of his statement... as usual... FAKE NEWS.
What did we "misread" in this statement: "For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity."
THE OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF GREENLAND!
How does Trump proposed to acquire the "ownership and control of Greenland" that is an "absolute necessity" for the US?
Does he just tell Denmark to hand it over? Or does he send American troops in to seize a sovereign region?
You always, always defend Trump and his maniacal statements. He's going to be the POTUS, and his words matter.
Those are the words of a madman!
"Greenland's prime minister, Mute Egede, has already rejected Trump's remarks, saying in a statement: “Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale. We must not lose our long struggle for freedom," according to Reuters."
What nation would want to be taken over by the US now? With an incoming POTUS who is a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter who proposed a child rapist and illicit drug user for his AG?
Are you so marinated in MAGA slime and muck that you don't see what's in front of your nose?
Thule Airbase, the northernmost US military installation, was recently turned over the the Space Command and renamed Pittufik (place to feed sled dogs) with the call sign POGO. When I was in, the place was called Ape Sweat.
A good place to assign Matt Gaetz? Denmark owns the rest of the Island, thanks to Eric the Red.
@FJ - BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Those who ignorantly blather about "fake" news" are the very ones responsible for the FAKE NEWS.
-FJ keeping the faith with the faithless.
Tell -FJ, what would be the proper reading and understanding of the statement. I'm open to being convinced.
As we wait... tic toc, tic toc toc, tic tic
Oh, it’s just a coincidence: “maybe Trump wants Greenland because of rare earth elements like Lithium.
Tesla manufactures their own Lithium batteries. 🤔”
US Space Force has a base in Greenland (Thule- renamed). US has ownership and sovereignty/ control of that base, as well as "overflight" rights. Denmark is responsible for Greenland's foreign policy, and the US agreement is with Denmark and the territorial Greenland government. So what is Trump talking about in this Tweet, what was its' purpose? To introduce the US Ambassador to Denmark tasked with sustaining those rights.
Greenland is seeking greater independence from Denmark. Who will they ally with, the US? Russia? China? This is a signal that the US considers its' base in Greenland to be vital to NatSec, and an "Art of the Deal" style signal to the Greenland Territory... that allying with the US will result in the "highest bid" for basing rights.
In other words, it's a PUBLIC message to his new ambassador AND THE WORLD (China Russia) what America's priorities are.
According to the Danish Constitution, the Danish government is responsible for the foreign and security interests of all parts of the Kingdom so both the Faroe Islands and Greenland have been covered by the North Atlantic Treaty ever since Denmark joined in 1949.
NATO may be on the out. And a more independent Greenland could also profit from America's security umbrella.
btw - What's you opinion of an alliance with China to form the G2 if and when Europe unites under DiEM25? Or aren't Americans allowed to discuss these possibilities of a New World Order when the Old World Order still lies on its' deathbed?
Then why didn’t he say that?why did he say that the “ ownership and control” of Greenland is a national security issue? What do you think OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF GREENLAND means in plain English?
Also, any country/anyone that/who believes anything the lying liar Trump says is deluded and foolish. Trump is a dirty businessman and not to be trusted, least of all, his double- crossing words.
What do you think OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL OF GREENLAND means in plain English?
Greenland or Denmark? Ownership & Control of Greenland is 'evolving'. America is simply signaling that it's throwing its' hat in the ring to keep its' base.
It takes 2 to make "a deal". Not every 1st offer gets contractualized in the final deal. Anyone who takes a 1st offer as "gospel" is a fool. Are you fools?
It's time for America to rock & Roll!
...AGAIN! The "managed decline" by the PMC Deep State crowd's days are OVER!
We built and should still have control of the Panama Canal zone but the most incompetent president, until biden, felt he would do the right thing and abandoning our national interest. Now china through control over hong kong has undo influence in the zone which is a threat to the US.
The incompetent elected elite seems hell bent on doing the socially acceptable action of weakening our ability to defend ourselves.
We now have a physically AWOL president who has been mentally AWOL for four years according to WSJ who's only concern is giving away money and commuting the sentence of murders and rapists. The democrats only focus is to attack the president elect for everything. They have shown they support government waste through their attack on doge but pork is the driving force with politicians and eliminating pork almost cost a government shutdown.
So what 'business' message do you think Trump is sending to Panama?
I think its' "Give us a better transit deal, or we'll put you OUT of business by backing an alternative"!
Skud and the China has influence dodge. China has influence Skud because the US has disengaged from many areas around the world. Earlier this week you decried the US investing in Africa and yet that investment is a direct counter to growing Chinese hegemony.
So what is it? Should we engage and spend the money to do so? Or not? Because you're claiming both in your lickspittle uninformed criticism of Democrats.
As for the canal, getting past your reflexive BS, the US negotiated a treaty of control over the canal which received overwhelming bipartisan support in the Senate. Also, outside of the Reagan/Helms/Thurmond side of the GOP, many GOP leaders supported the treaty.
Was it controversial? Yes. Was it bad policy and a detriment to our national interests? Not according to the majority of foreign policy experts and political leaders of both parties at the time. And certainly not worth the political hit we would experience in the world if we summarily abrogated another negotiated and ratified treaty between us and a foreign country.
So, we can disagree, that's fine. But does there always have to be such absolutism and disgust from you?
I'm going to jump in because there is a detail skud is (deliberately?) missing. Panama had diplomatic relationships with Taiwan until 2017 when they changed alliances to China. So who exactly was president in 2017?
If one digs deeper one finds the important reason #45 wants Panama on the block is the country is in litigation with Trump businesses over unpaid taxes. Hmm... think someone on this site (cough skudrunner cough) had a few unkind things to say about people who don't pay their taxes. Bet they are quiet about the topic now. Or tell me it's fake news and I don't understand how words work.
Regarding the commutation of sentences - skud does know that all Biden did was to take the death penalty off the table, correct? The prisoners are still in prison but now are serving life sentences without the possibility of parole so... When the Pope directly asked Biden about the possibility of commutation President Biden, a devout Catholic, did what he legally and morally could do. Not sure why so many pearls are getting clutched. Oh yeah, humanity, compassion... things that Jesus taught about all the time. Can't have that.
MAGA is the dog who caught the car, they control the majority in both houses of Congress, Presidency, and the Supreme Court. You'd think they'd be all kinds of happy. As I see it they are down right morose as evidenced here in the comment section. I'm reminded that hatred is a stronger drug than nicotine and they are going through withdrawal. Hmmm, sucks to be them.
So, can we call our trolls hatred addicts? Asking for a friend.
The good news: Biden didn’t pardon the Boston bomber, the Tree of Life synagogue shooter, or the Charleston church shooter.
The bad news: Biden DID pardon 5 child killers and 32 mass murderers.
How is it that Joe Biden was deemed too senile to be charged for stealing classified documents, but is somehow fit to issue pardons and commute sentences?
Biden pardoned NO ONE. Get your facts straight before commenting, please.
You are correct Ms. Shaw but he did imply the victims don't matter because this is playing to my base. He didn't commute a Muslim and two white supremacists. Maybe he can get some relief by bringing back the victims and really look like he is in charge. He is a dangerous president but he only has less than 25 days to destroy the country.
The left is all about how trump and musk will expose corruption in the federal government. What all politicians are scared of is exposing some of the pork and waste they are responsible for.
BTW, Where is joey and cruilla
Ed of course is clueless and rather than look at facts, chooses to try and score political points. Yes, Biden had classified documents at his residence. And when asked to return them to the US Government, like another former VP, Mike Pence, he complied. End of story. No charges filed against either former VP.
Why is that controversial?
Dave, By the time the documents were found in a garage they were of no use and hunter could not sell them so of course they were turned over to free up some room for the corvette.
According to the WSJ article joey was not at fault for any of this because he was mentally incompetent which over 50 of his staff acknowledged. We let a mentally deficient person run the country for four years while the left and the media covered it up. After doing that we are suppose to believe anything the media says, don't think that will work for people who can think on their own.
As demonstrated by you i I presume. Eh skud?
Wow, skud has their pearls in a clutch. Hunter Biden, Documents, mental incompetence!!!! I believe the only MAGA catchphrase they missed was Benghazi!!! Oh, and Lock Her Up!
The topping of their comment is claiming skud thinks for themselves! Oh my stars! Yeah, no, skudsy, you only repeat the MAGA aka Russian talking points you've very carefully been spoon fed for decades. To late for you mate, you've got a bad case of MAGA-titis.
I'd debunk every one of their claims but why? It's all been done and they ignore us all. Case in point their continued reliance on the WSJ as a news source.
We The People have let mentally deficient people run the country before or has skud forgotten Ronnie and his cards o' remembering back in the day? We could have negotiated peace/diplomacy with Russia but that option wasn't one of the cards options so he said no. It was hidden but while in office Reagan was declining into full blown Alzheimer's disease. Guess it's ok if you're a Republican.
And for the record, yeah, President Biden isn't as snappy as he was when younger. He admits it all the time in his speeches and during meet and greets with constituents. But make no mistake, even his enemies abroad have warned of underestimating Joe Biden. He may speak softly but he carries a huge honking stick. Guess skud likes to judge a book by it's cover.
FTW detail - 235 Federal judges nominated and approved with a majority of them women and humans of color. You're welcome USA. Our judiciary now more accurately reflects the makeup of our citizens. Thank you Joe Biden, you did the country a solid. I won't forget.
Skud, You keep going on and on about the WSJ article. I didn't read it because it's behind a paywall. Did you actually read it?
I have read some of the breathless reporting on the article from RW sources. I can't find any staffers quoted as saying he is mentally incompetent. The article (best I can tell) uses words like diminished or slowed down. They say his gatekeepers limited access to him.
He's old, I wish he'd stepped down earlier, but I can't argue with his accomplishments. Bipartisan CHIPS Act and infrastructure bill, Rescue Plan that distributed testing and vaccines to everyone who wanted them, Brought down drug prices for seniors, Inflation Reduction Act and more. All have made Americans lives demonstrably better. I know you'll tell me Biden caused inflation, now tell me how he caused worldwide inflation. A problem the rest of the world is still trying to tame while ours has come down substantially, under 3%. Does the article say Biden wasn't engaged in getting these passed? Was it someone else running the show? Citations needed.
How about the timing of this article. 3 months after he dropped out and after his successor lost the election. Seems like the WSJ is just doing a "told you so". Meh. Red meat for the MAGA's. You think this is armor piercing ammo to use in your arguments. It doesn't bother you that Trump's cabinet members called him an effing moron, wannabe dictator, danger to the country. His own VP. Scores of his former WH staff testifying against him in criminal trials. These people are on the record, not anonymous.
Last time Trump had some competent people around him to act as guardrails to pull him back from his worst instincts. Not this time. Enjoy the show and happy holidays.
Correction. "Criminal trials" should be criminal investigations. Trump could have cleared his name if he hadn't delayed his trials. If he had nothing to hide and exculpatory evidence he could have presented them in a courtroom. I guess he escaped accountability for now but he's incapable of not criming.
Craig, let me translate a little of what you offered up.
The Bi-partisan CHIPS Act. The conservative American Compass points out the plan, overwhelmingly approved by both Dems and the GOP, is actually working well and has resulted in a boom for Arizona where the first huge investment was sited.
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Passed in 2021, according to the non partisan Brookings Institute, America is getting a huge benefit from this bill. Roads, bridges and facilities are being built, rebuilt and made better. As a point of fact, the majority of the investment, or as some might say, money being wasted, has been targeted to conservative, fully red states. According to Brookings, naysayers should take comfort in the reality that "it’s not hyperbolic to say the American public has never had a better view into the actual funding progress for a federal infrastructure law."
Never!
Drug prices, including insulin. Down, down, down.
Vaccines. Operation Warp Speed from President Trump was and continues to be a life saver.
All of the above, even the roll out of the Trump Admin vaccine, are from the Biden Administration.
But Craig, here's the problem for some... they are fixated on the federal spending, mistakenly saying that spending, rather than Covid, is primarily responsible for our recent inflation.
That may be true... or not. But here's the question for the Skuds of the world. When should we spend on stuff like rebuilding the technological base of the US, as the CHIPS Act did? When should we spend the money to repair America's aging infrastructure, most of which has not had significant investment since the Eisenhower Admin? And is it wrong for the Feds to mandate that drug companies not gouge American citizens for medicines ppl need to live?
Finally, was the Biden Admin wrong to demand use of the Covid vaccine that the Trump Admin developed, as we did with the polio vaccine, measles, mumps and rubella vaccines for generations?
Apparently the Skuds of the world would say all of those examples are wrong, wasteful and bad, in spite of how each item Craig mentioned is making life better for all Americans.
Tell us Skud and the rest of our conservative friends, when and how should America invest in and work on our roads, tech, vaccines and lower drug prices?
Craig... as for Trump, here's what his supporters fail to acknowledge. Trump has never offered an affirmative defense for his actions. He has never took the stand and said "I never did that". He's just complained about the process.
That's a little like the Unabomber complaining about whether or not he should have to stand trial because he didn't like the venue.
No evidence to the contrary, no alibi's, nothing at all from Trump.
Gotta wonder why he delayed the chance to clear his name.
Dave, I can understand why politicians are so against eliminating government waste which is probably in the trillions because that is their bribe money but why wouldn't you support cutting back on government waste. I don't believe it will ever happen because there are to many special interests and payoffs to make it happen but I can always hope.
I made a prediction prior to the election and still believe it, No Matter who or what party is in charge little will change in the next four or forty years.
