  • Oh they and Denmark each issued statements to the effect of “No… Greenland is not for sale. And if you try to invade greenland, we will defend it.” And the King of Denmark made the decision (which i have heard called brave and unexpected) to… wait for it… change the royal seal somewhat to emphasize the elements representing Greenland.

    Trump has been trying to distract from his backpedaling on all of his campaign promises (massive & stupid tariffs, lowering grocery prices somehow, deporting like 1/4 of the population, etc) before he’s even been sworn in by saying he’s going to annex/buy/maybe conquer Greenland from Denmark. He’s also said this about Canada and sort of about Panama.

    The whole thing is a media stunt, but basically, he sent his son and a bunch of other ghouls (pictured in the OP) to Greenland to make an appearance for the media. They did, then they left. It was a fools’ errand and there were lots of fools to choose from.

  • Full text of diary entry:

    "I was raised in the nurturing embrace of the Party, studying without concern for anything in the world. There is more unknown love than love that is known and accepted. I didn’t know how to react to the happiness I was surrounded by.

    Defending the homeland is the sacred duty of every citizen, and the greatest duty is to protect the nation, which is where my happiness lies. I wear the military uniform of revolution to protect the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. I was honoured with the opportunity to be promoted to sergeant major in my company. However, I betrayed my beloved Party, which had placed its trust in me, and committed acts of ingratitude against the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

    The sins I’ve committed are unforgivable, but my homeland has given me a chance for redemption, a fresh start in life.

    Now, I have no choice but to regain the trust I once had. I will go to the front lines in this operation and obey the orders of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un without question, even if it costs me my life. I will show the world the invincible courage and sacrifice of the Red Special Forces (Red Commanders) of Kim Jong Un.

    When we win the war and return to our homeland, I will submit a petition to the Party."







  • That’s essentially the case. His changes, other than the austerity related ones, were intended to make Argentinian goods more competitive (cheaper) globally while actively hurting the purchasing power of Argentinians. If it “works,” it’ll mean inflation slows, and they hope the business profits will trickle down while businesses capture the government, income inequality increases, and businesses and billionaires accumulate more of Argentina’s wealth.




  • Precedents. Have you heard about these? The radical antifa liberal communists have said that decisions from the past should determine laws in the fyoo-chure. Crazy. That’s cray-zy. We won’t let crooked Joe’s corrupt socialist judges decide what laws we can make. The founding fathers are dead. That’s what our failing public schools say. Possibly like Hannibal Lecter. Can someone in the crooked media fact check me?They love to fact-check me. I have the best facts. Is Hannibal Lecter dead? But the founding fathers. George Washington. Wa. Shing. Ton. What a man. 100% man. The ladies might need to cover their ears for this one, but George Washington had a tremendous hog. The biggest dick you’ve ever seen, folks. And he fucked, too. We love our founding fathers (turns around and salutes toward the back of the stage, does a stupid dance as he turns around again). George Washington wrote a little thing called the con-sti-tu-shun. You may have heard of it - crooked Joe doesn’t want you to know about it, but I love the constitution - it says that I should pardon all of the brave January 6 patriots. Many people are saying this. Democrats don’t believe in the constitution, so they won’t pardon them. Only I will pardon them. I have the best pardons. But Parton. Dolly Parton. Did you know the kids don’tknow about Dolly Parton…
