Love how the media is just accepting that kidnapping a world leader means you own the place, now we're just worried about logistics and investment
I love how journalistic institutions are now framing the annexation of Greenland as "an option" for the administration in the most tepid analysis of potential "costs." I mean, Associated press, what are you doing.
No AP, you meant to say "Unhinged global superpower threatens world stability and possibly world-war with absurd expansionist goals for no fucking reason, US citizens blamed for being fucking dumbasses to let this pile of wood-shavings in a human skinsuit run the country. The cost of doing this would mean plunging the USA into fully being a third-world country with ICBM's and the whole world needs to unite and remove this entire house of fools."
I am souring on mainstream, respected news outlets, using timid, middle-of-the-road language talking about any of this. They are complicit in normalizing this entire destruction of the USA and our potential slide into disaster and suffering around the world because of irresponsible leadership.

What do you suppose their job is?
What do you call 9 people having dinner with 1 Nazi? 10 Nazis. At this point, the main stream media is complict in helping the fascists.
They say it's uninvestible, meaning they werent gonna go in there anyway. Blocking them ain't the flex you think it is ya dumb orange bastard.
He is like those guys who call their tinder date ugly and say they weren't interested anyway after they get rejected
"You can't quit, you're fired!"
"I'm not showing up to your party."
"Well fuck you, I'm not inviting you then!"
OK?
Seriously, Americans, how the fuck did this guy win two elections? Please make it make sense.
If you are brave enough watch fox news and it might explain why. The facts run scared, the conspiracy theories are king, and hate grows on trees.
Grandma and grandpa didn’t die fast enough.
Bullshit, Trump won the young votes too.
Yay pod casts.
Thanks Joe Rogan!
He's basically an amalgamation of all the worst qualities of the average American. He represents more Americans than he doesn't. This is something we Americans need to come to terms with since a lot of us are in denial about that.
It's really surprising and disappointing how many of my countrymen are assholes.
yup, it really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone truly familiar with america as a whole, anyone not stuck in a bubble.
dumb as shit and the only reason for relevance is his daddy's name, yet completely convinced of his own superiority. that shit is about as universal as it gets in america. and it's the perfect setup to run a puppet government
the extra funny/sad part is that all it would take for dems or anyone else to beat em is just...be authentic, for once in their miserable lives. that's literally all it takes, but these coastal elites who have been trained their whole lives to be career politicians are completely incapable of that because they're barely human anymore.
had kamala stuck to her "free universal healthcare" shtick instead of flip-flopping immediately once her campaign advisors told her that was polling bad with their donors, she would have won.
americans were promised "hope and change" by Obama and all they got was more corporate kickbacks and pointless wars, establishment politicians seem convinced things can still "return to normal" (ie. unsustainable ratfucking) when trump is gone which is why they're doing the absolute minimum to stop him and co. now
personally...i think shit goes from bad to much worse when/if he croaks mid term.
these coastal elites who have been trained their whole lives to be career politicians are completely incapable of that because they're barely human anymore.
Do they also have ivory towers?
81% of the population lives in coastal states. Are you saying inland politicians are more authentic? Or are you playing the classic Republican spiel that them city folk are the cause of all the problems? Because I haven't seen any evidence to back either claim.
The only viable opposition party is deeply corrupt and doesn't know how to campaign anymore
Americans, how the fuck did this guy win two elections?
This guy is the quintessential american. If you take the average of all United States residents, this is exactly what pops out. Its not surprising at all.
Well, no
You just have to scrape the grease traps of the southern states, and roll that average american together. Most Americans hate these turds
Exxon doesn't want to invest... So trump will block them from investing if they don't comply. Art of the deal, folks.
Wow im so tired of winning
Trump has the baton of a 6 year old bully
Regime change costs money and blood. It would be so funny for oil companies to send a bunch of people down there only for them to get merced
They should send their CEOs to scout it out. I hear there's oil deeeeeep in the woods
That's the correct response from a leader. If someone disagrees with you, penalize them. It's only fair. /s
By telling them they can't do something they just told you they didn't want to do.
"How dare you distract from distraction!! Now people will start talking about all those child rapes I did with my best friend Jeffery Epstein again!!!"
It's wild that people still think that the Trump administration's brazen steps towards world domination are a distraction from the Epstein files.
If anything the Epstein files are the distraction. Even if he's implicated in them, nothing will happen to him. Just like nothing happened to him when he led a violent insurrection, stole classified documents, etc.
For oil companies that help steal Venezuelan resources, I’d like to say I’ll join the boycott …. But I already drive an EV and all the other products generated from that do not have a clear line back to them
MAGA faithful will shortly be claiming Trump to be an oil expert. We add this to his other specialisms, including, but not limited to climatologist, genetacist, economist, peace-priziest etc. For some reason, perhaps humility, they play down Racist and Fascist.
Trump watches Landman and obviously knows better than ExxonMobil.
In other words, guarantee my investment, and the only way MAGA can do that is with a complete takeover and full control of the country.
That's not even a guarantee. We're going to do our best to return Venezuela to Venezuela's control as soon as Trump is gone, I'm sure. And I suspect that government will be disinclined to honor agreements made at the barrel of a gun.
Given the widespread support for the Bolivaran revolution in Venezuela, MAGA is going to have a hard time gaining full control.
Venezuela is one of those countries where a guerilla insurgency could tie up the American military for years, when they'll finally get out after accomplishing nothing but shifting trillions of tax dollars to the military-industrial complex.
So, the system working as intended then.
