Trump floats claims for Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal (4 Viewers)

[superchuck500]

Oh, but he's only joking - well, maybe, so they say. Or sort of joking with Canada, and maybe not joking with Greenland - saying that "ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity" doesn't sound like a joke . . . and um, not sure about what the about Panama Canal thing is?

I hate the way Bluesky embeds here

Yes! It sucks. It also sucks on my iPad, it just looks like my phone screen floating in the middle of my iPad screen. I wish they would get their act together.

Rep. Brandon Gill: "Listen, I think that the people of Panama, I think that the people of Greenland, I think that the people of Canada for that matter should be honored that President Trump wants to bring these territories under the American fold."

G-d forking idiots. Empty Greene shouldn’t be trusted to operate a vehicle or power tools.

The thing about this is it will serve to distract the media and MAGA while the Trumpanistas screw the entire country especially including MAGA.

It's not real.

These guys are on a mission to change History into MAGA History. Joseph Goebbels only wishes that he was as successful as these clowns! I guess his failure was that he KNEW he was a propagandist, where these Faux clowns are just dumb and they know their viewers will eat up anything they say.

This is what it looks like when the world sees you as a joke:

It's not real.

It's very real that the President-elect is talking about it. And sure, in an ideal world, everyone would just ignore every ludicrous thing he says and he'd take the hint, this isn't an ideal world; if it was, we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. So these very stupid things end up being real things that, even if they're not going to actually happen, still have the potential to be highly damaging.

I think these things also have the potential to be more damaging this time around than the first time. Because Trump is the kind of person who's actually serious about the stuff he says, until it becomes clear that it's not going to happen, at which point of course he was never serious. But that relies on people being around him to make it clear that it's not going to happen. If he has people around him enabling his insanity, and not enough people willing to stick their necks out and fully oppose it, then the possibility of things going way too far is naturally higher.

And that's one reason why people talk about it.
