It is real!

Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:
“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”
I wonder if the any Russians reading this might wonder if this was how their government sounded when they invaded Ukraine.
This rhetoric is terrifying. Look at that speech. That’s getting stoned on your own farts and getting them preemptively fresh speech. That’s the sort of way literally only cultists and fascist governments speak. That’s a dprk ass comment.
Let’s face it, calling anything “green” is woke.
/s
This has to be ragebait cover for something else, right?
Like even the dimmest, least self aware, MAGA-hat-wearing dumbass would feel embarrassed to say “Red, White, and Blueland” out loud.
Right???
I want to agree, but these people wore diapers for him. The only further absurdity is the war over it for the minerals and arctic claim under the guise of national security.
It’s rage bait to hide a real enemy to the rest of us.
You think too highly of them, but this is probably rage bait. If they could feel embarrassment they wouldn’t have voted for Trump the first time let alone once more. One way to begin to understand the MAGA mindset is by reading Settlers.
Every other country should unanimously vote to call the USA something stupid since apparently countries can just rename other countries
Dumbfuckistan, I say this as an American…it’s gotten so childish here.
The founding fathers would be disgusted at such an unlettered (read illiterate) individual taking over the country.
Let me know when they make a flag for Dumbfuckistan and I will fly that shit.
I’m picturing the US flag but instead of stars it’s corporate logos.
I’ll fly it and play the new anthem on repeat turned up to 11.
the new anthem?

can’t have words that would offend the Dumbfuckistanians, so no words at all.
Or they should start viewing America as a rogue nation bent on taking the land of others. 👀
I mean countries have always done that, just not quite this stupid but also often very stupid. People in Japan call their country Nippon, not Japan. People in Germany call their country Deutschland. There’s a ton of countries that English just straight up changed the names of for reasons varying from some form of probable racism to misunderstanding that they never bothered resolving.
I’m not defending this move, it’s dumb as hell. Just pointing out that “dumb as hell” isn’t new.
You mean that?
“Here be orange goblin”
I hate this fucking country and I’m going to either get out or go off-grid as soon as I can muster it financially
don’t worry, soon nobody will be able to do anything financially and you’ll be free to raid and steal anything you need if you’re not afraid to get killed for it.
land if the free (to kill minorities and commies) home of the brave (snowflake Nazi terrorists)
I don’t know why they need a bill for this. Apparently the President can just sign an executive order renaming geographical features, and everyone just had to go along with it.
Every American. The rest of us just watch in horror, wondering why the adults in the room don’t do something.
I got bad news for you. We export our bullshit, and your leaders are probably lapping it up right now.
Yup. When it rains in the US, it drizzles in Europe.
The “adults” in the room are those parents who only give into the screaming toddler, creating a kid who cries every time to get what he wants.
Look at this humpty dumpty orange motherfucker
“There’s glory for you.”
“I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory’,” Alice said.
Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. “Of course you don’t – till I tell you. I meant ‘there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!’”
“But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument’,” Alice objected.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less.”
Alice considered a little. “But surely,” she said in a sudden flash of inspiration, “you simply have to agree with me that ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument’, it means ‘glory’.”
“Not in the slightest bit,” humphed Humpty Dumpty, “I disagree with you totally.”
“Ah,” replied Alice cunningly, “so you do agree with me, for when I hear someone say ‘I disagree with you’, I think they mean ‘I agree with you totally’, don’t you? When I hear a word, it means just what I choose it to mean – nothing more nor less.”
“It is a most provoking thing,” Humpty Dumpty cried, breaking into a sudden passion, “when little girls make it impossible to disagree with them.”
“So,” said Alice, “now you do agree with me that ‘glory’ means ‘glory’.”
“Wrong!” Humpty Dumpty exclaimed triumphantly, “it would be alright for me to say that ‘I disagree with you’ meant ‘I agree with you’, because I believe in that sort of thing; but you don’t, or you wouldn’t be being so awkward about it! You can’t go using other people’s arguments against themselves, that’s plagiarism!”
(“He talks about it just as if it was a game!” thought Alice.) Trying hard to conceal her vexation with the phantasmagorical egg, Alice delivered her coup de grâce : “I’m afraid that you can’t get out of it like that Mr. Dumpty, it just won’t do at all. You think that words mean whatever you choose them to mean, but in order to say that I disagree with you, you have to agree with, or understand, my use of words; and if you agree with me, then you can’t disagree!”
“It’s very provoking,” Humpty Dumpty said after a long silence, looking away from Alice as he spoke. “I’d rather see that done on paper.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so little.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “who is to be master – that’s all.”
Wittgenstein is typing…
It’s been less than a month since he’s been in office and this is a visual representation on how I feel about the whole thing…
I feel so bad for Americans having to put up with this.

Sounds like a shitty theme park.
This is worse than some parodies
Ok, I don’t support these clowns, and I hate that this is the way the public is finding out, but isn’t it nice that people are starting to truly see how incapable, incompetent, and corrupt our elected leaders have always been?
Where are these people that are starting to see this? The morons that voted for Trump are ecstatic with these distractions.
There was a discussion recently on reddit and basically almost everyone agreed that the Republicans in their circles don’t see anything wrong with what the government is doing, Musk and all.
I would never claim involved conservatives are capable of learning.
Do not underestimate how little the VERY VAST majority of people know about government or politics. I recently explained blue/red, left/right, lib/con, progressive/regressive are all related and blew someone’s mind. Then they asked “which ones are the bad ones” and I said “that is subjective and it depends on your views”. After very little explanation, they were socially liberal but fairly conservative fiscally (keep in mind, this was a disconnected completely normal person just going from day to day). It is hard to imagine, with the news and all, people not knowing the basics, but that really is the default. They often only know what they have been told growing up and nothing else.
A few years ago I was on a group bike ride (in Maryland), and we saw a car that had a bumper sticker mocking one of the more famous members of Congress. For example, it might have been about Ted Cruz’s vacation while Texas was dealing with extreme cold and widespread power outages. Or it might have been about Lindsey Graham blocking the supreme court nomination during the last year of Obama’s term, but then doing it during the last year of Trump’s term. I don’t remember for certain. It was definitely something like that.
I chuckled, and one person riding with us was like, “What’s so funny?” I explained who the person was and what they had done to prompt the reaction sticker, and her response was: “How could you possibly know who that person is?”
They don’t even know the more famous members of Congress or the stupid acts they are committing. They just do not know. A few days ago, she posted a picture of her and her husband, and the husband was wearing a “Trump victory!” T-shirt. Shocking.
There is no greater argument against democracy than the American people.
Going to be interesting hearing people tell me why it’s actually great that we started another world war to steal land from one of our allies so we can give it a name even a 10 year old boy would call lame. Because you know Denmark is never going to sell it to us. The people who live there have no interest in being a US territory. Why would they? I hope these MAGA fuckers are happy sending their sons off to die for Trump’s ego.
Ever seen those movies like OG Running Man where there’s a dystopian tv show within the wreckage of society and people love it? Well, life imitates art in this case except it’s our government that is the dystopian show and the uneducated masses love it. They want the violence to happen and the sex offenders in charge. It’s their shitshow and they aren’t offended by it, they want more.
God damn it, this is the prequel to Idiocracy isn’t it? Is this just a simulation so an A I. can generate a movie for someone? This is my far the dumbest thing I have ever heard a politician doing as a legit political act. All we’re missing is a, ‘brought to you by Carl Jr’s’ attached to the bill.
Lets get some new names for russia china and brazil while we’re at it. Ill start brazil is now south texas
This is a kind of thing that a Metal Gear villain would pull.
Where’s the cyborg twink Raiden to stop this? Or Snake. Or anyone else. Even Machine Gun Kid would suffice (Kid With A Mere AR15 missed by a lot).
Red, White and Blueland??? Trump is a juvenile version of Dr Evil, right down to the goofy run that his son, Scot would have (but with more waddle)
The way things are going, this would probably become a legit political platform…
PRESIDENT ARMSTRONG: You still don’t get it, ITS ABOUT THOSE WHO WILL NOT, NOT THOSE WHO CANNOT, IN MY NEW AMERICA THE POOR WILL BE ENSURED OF THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS, WAR WILL BE FOUGHT BY EVERY MAN, NOT BY INTEREST GROUPS, AGAINST EVERY MAN
