It feels overwhelming sometimes how dumb and dangerous this all is. And every day it gets dumber and more dangerous.

Trump on Greenland: "Denmark is very far away. A boat landed there 200 years ago or something and they say they have rights to it. I don't know if that's true. I don't think it is, actually ... we really need it for national security ... maybe you'll see more and more soldiers go there."

The authoritarianism, the grievance-fueled desire to exert dictatorial power, the lust for imperial hemispheric domination - that is all real.

that orange fool just kicked off our own national defense industry. he is beyond dangerous. he's an absolute fucking moron suffering from sever lizard brain syndrome.
we are taking it VERY seriously.
2) Acknowledging Trump's seriousness would mean having to do something about it
He would never have come up with this cockamamie shit on his own. He should be thought of as an insane shell of a man that parrots enemies' goals.
EX: “GREAT IDEA! Let’s make Canada a state, then Justin Trudeau can become a GOVERNOR or SENATOR, then beat any GOP candidate you idiots put up in 2028! Not to mention the additional LIBERALS in the House! Lets GO!”
My 7 year old grandson has a better vocabulary than him !
And every day it gets worse (and more dangerous).
Just like every other madman dictator in history.

There's no plan - its fueled by emotion and impotent rage.
The lack of competence leaves us a window to stop it and build back something better and stronger.
Like Waltz, I don't have THE answer, but verbal venom ain't it.
I'm trying to reach within myself to go beyond.
It's all such an embarrassment.
Come to that, there might be an argument Norse landed on north America and have a prior claim than the current king of America.
So stealing Greenland would be just a continuation of a fine American Imperialist fetish.
That all white US citizens will return to Europe because a ship landed on the US East Coast a few hundred years ago?
But there are already some political discussions about migrants in Europe.
Aid will pour in from everywhere (and /our/ citizens)
IT ALSO is a trigger of #Article5 under #NATO and the US would be anihilated!!!

- FOUR YEARS and he's still walking free.

Filmore would now be 2nd.
The man knows - nothing.
(Greenland has arguably been a part of Denmark since 1380).
I remember he also repeatedly had to be told why nuking a hurricane was a very bad idea and just wouldn't let it go. So maybe that will come up again too.
And yea, sure, that rock everyone takes pics of is THE Rock.
But he wants to invade territory of Denmark and he thinks that will be ok ?
Does Europe have the capacity to assist Canada to defend itself against a US invasion?
The Roman Empire once extended all the way to Ireland!
Happy St. Patrick's Day 🍀
