Trump floats claims for Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal (1 Viewer)

[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?

Trump Jokes Canada Becoming 51st US State 'A Great Idea'

US President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday it would be "a great idea" for Canada to become the 51st US state, teasing on social media that "many Canadians" welcome the idea, as Ottawa is wracked by a political crisis.

Well, many folks seem to think it makes them look smart to highlight every lie that comes from Trump's lips. I wonder where you all find the time for that nonsense. The whole Russia/Trump collusion thingy that went nowhere, the whole Russian pee tapes the left brayed about for quite a while, Trump not paying taxes (Hat tip to Rachel Maddow for proving that he did pay), calling Trump "Drumpf" like an idiot, etc. The left said we would be in WWIII during Trump's first term and the economy would completely tank, but I now realize that they were just trying to prove Reagan right yet once again:

“It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.”​

― Ronald Reagan

Yada yada yada... since you refuse to answer the question, I am going to have to assume that you do not know what a conspiracy is.

BTW, the Drumpf thing, that happens to be the original German last name of Donald Trump's grandfather... do you think it makes Trump sound like an idiot?

Oh, and don't "y'all" me. This practice of "replying to all" with non-sequiturs, red herrings, and strawmen when a single poster is discussing one topic, now that's drumpf.

Never have been interested in your assumptions.

Not at all, it makes the dumbflucks using it sound like idiots.

Oh, and don't "y'all" me.

LMAO!

I would like ALL government employees to use government email accounts on government servers, and all such emails preserved forever.
I don't know if Russia is reading their emails any more than you do.

Oh, My Gosh, call the authorities--STAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But it is strange that the very same folks who think Trump colluded with Russia are the very same geniuses who seem to think Russia would have to hack Trump. That makes real sense---/s.

of course they dont have to hack trump I bet he gives info for free. but do you know other countries can hack him? remember he won't use a secure phone. I guess you forgot Russia getting trumps campaign info that was given to them? by a trump employee?

 

[Texan1211]

Dude how much of your day do you spend defending a guy you totally didn't vote for?

Far less than the amount of time you spend reading and not comprehending what I actually wrote.
What defended Trump in your vivid imagination?

 

[Texan1211]

I bet he gives info for free

Well of course you do.
You probably also believe he sells it.

but do you know other countries can hack him? remember he won't use a secure phone. I guess you forgot Russia getting trumps campaign info that was given to them? by a trump employee?

Yawn. Old crapola, got anything new?
This tune has already been sung.
That's a one-hit wonder.

so; your argument is that it is ok then? Is it ok if Trump's minion gives Putin info and goes to jail for it?

. The New York Times reported that members of Trump's 2016 campaign and other Trump associates had frequent contactwith senior Russian intelligence officials throughout the campaign. In addition to these questionable communications, here are a few other associates with ties to Moscow:
Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, was sentenced in a Washington, D.C., courtroom Wednesday, March 13, to an additional 43 months in prison for conspiracy against the United States and conspiracy to obstruct justice for attempting to tamper with witnesses.
Paul Manafort leaving the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse following a previous court appearance in 2018.
Manafort had accepted a plea deal in the case in September 2018, admitting to money laundering, tax fraud and illegal foreign lobbying connected to his years working for Ukrainian politicians. Manafort also admitted lying to investigators and under oath before a grand jury about his contact with a Russian associate during the 2016 campaign, breaking the plea agreement.

Is that what you read?

I hope you realize you answered your own question by saying he went to jail for it.

The New York Times reported that members of Trump's 2016 campaign and other Trump associates had frequent contactwith senior Russian intelligence officials throughout the

Yeah, contact does not equate with collusion. Using that kind of dubious logic, then Hunter Biden colluded with several foreign powers.
Now, that sounds plenty stupid, doesn't it?

He just admitted to the real reason Trump wants Greenland
"But we’re not going to defend it for free and let you — and not develop Greenland and not extract the minerals and oil and resources of Greenland"


Greenland is an artic preserve.. A world heritage which is what the greenlanders want it to be. To Trump it is just gold, rare minerals and oil and he don't give a damn about the environment as long as he or his supporters can exploit it.

Yes, we cant claim collusion but we sure as hell can claim Trump is fully supported by Putin and he spends a lot of time communicating with Putin. Also, trump owes hundreds of millions of dollars to Russian banks. I know all of it is no big deal. If Biden did anything trump does with Putin the right would try to hang him.

 

[Texan1211]

Yes, we cant claim collusion

Yet the left has for years done exactly that.

 

[SystemShock]

Never have been interested in your assumptions.

Now it isn't.

Not at all, it makes the dumbflucks using it sound like idiots.

Because they use Trump's original family name?

Out of curiosity, why do you feel the need to insult people? Are you just lashing out because you can't put up a coherent argument or don't know what a conspiracy is?

LMAO!

Glad I brightened your day.

 

[brandon]

So, are we going to invade Greenland a la Russia/Ukraine?

Taking bets.

 

[Texan1211]

By Jove, you got it!
If your last name has always been Jones, and your father's name was always Jones, referring to you as anything other than Jones is senseless drivel, meant solely to enflame, so no thanks.

 

[fooferdoggie]

Yet the left has for years done exactly that.

it was not absolutely proven that does not mean the same shirt did not happen. we know for sure Trump had way too much communication with Putin that was kept secret. so maybe the exact term does not work but it is sure that he and Putin are not innocent and are working at least side by side.

 

[SystemShock]

By Jove, you got it!
If your last name has always been Jones, and your father's name was always Jones, referring to you as anything other than Jones is senseless drivel, meant solely to enflame, so no thanks.

But, of all people, you should be down with it. That's all you do!

Side note: emacs? Meh. vi all the way!

I really doubt it. Well, caveat - if Trump is in charge. He’s a cowardly bully at heart. He will posture, threaten and try to bully, but he won’t actually do anything. IMO anyway.
