President Trump

Donald Trump has sparked a fresh row with Denmark after appointing a special envoy to Greenland, the vast Arctic island he has said he would like to annex.

Trump announced on Sunday that Jeff Landry, the Republican governor of Louisiana, would become the US's special envoy to Greenland, a semi-autonomous part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

Gov Landry said in a post on X it was an honour to serve in a "volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the US".

I wish Landry good luck getting a visa for Denmark in the future, let alone Greenland.

If you consider police, fire and the military as “industries,” then I can only suggest we will never see eye to eye. Exactly what “product” are we buying and where do we go to “buy” it?

I’m absolutely not a laissez-faire, or unfettered, capitalist. However, I think all “industries” should work in the public good, be it through providing a quality good or service at a fair price or being restricted in their pursuit of profit by the need to balance it with the public good.

However, having grown up in England during a period of rampant nationalization, I’m struggling to find a time when it was both lauded and priced such that it wasn’t an industry hemorrhaging taxpayer money.

Do I think we should remove the (excess) profit motive from some endeavors? Yes, with medicine being a primary one. However, should a private company be allowed to recoup their investment in R&D? Absolutely…but from where? The public purse for the greater good, or should those people requiring the drug be forced to cover it? These are societal problems with which we wrestle today.

The view from abroad is that many of England's problems are self-inflicted by a nanny state mentality and (now) generations who believe it owes them something. Good luck with that!

You are correct, that they arguably aren’t industries per se, but the overarching principle still applies - some things are better run by the state, and the provision of a road network isn’t just about producing goods to the lowest unit price in the best interests of competition.

They've already gerrymandered Texas for 5 more republicans so might as well not happen realistically..

I don't think we get rid of MAGA unless there's a massive backlash!

I have researched a ton about revolutions that I can honestly say most of them don't work.. because people are too scared/ lazy to risk it all. Usually when it succeeds it requires the military going insane and shooting people that creates a massive backlash.

And it's generally the young people who're dissatisfied with their future that brings out massive crowds where the military starts thinking.. I don't have enough bullets or people to deal with this shit.. what if we side with them instead of the dictator.

Only then does a revolution succeed and quite honestly there's only been 4 in my lifetime..

Romania, Philippines, The Arab Spring and most recently Bangladesh.

As sick as it sounds.. as dissatisfied people might be.. I'd say Trump and MAGA are here to stay unless the equation changes.

A number of important special and off-year elections have already occurred. Many were Democratic routs. Why start at the midterms?

Also as FogBlue said corrupting or controlling federal elections writ large is an incredible lift logistically. Most of the power to run elections is in state hands and most issues end up in state courts. I wouldn't call anything impossible but it's extremely improbable.

I’d place those Industries alongside health care, the only possible reason they see Fire service differently is because if left it spreads.

Because the states and local jurisdictions have more control over them happening than the Feds do. Also Trump’s ability to impact them nationwide is limited by the incredible incompetence of those he’d charge with interfering in them. His grip is also slipping if ever so slightly.

The media is complicit though.. Really think the fact that the POTUS & the VP is an in the open white supremacist should be something newsworthy for the media to cover.



Thing is they can't help themselves being mean and violent on video to show the violence porn to their supporters how the white man can rule over the other darkies and put em back in their place.

So the shooting part will happen..

We just have to hope we survive it.

It's time for the Golden Fleet of Trump class warships.

(not a joke).

He wants to build battleships. "a hundred times the force of" well, he didn't actually say, but then remembered that it'll be 100x the strength of the previous battleship, and then he said it again, and again, and that they're bigger and 'a bit longer'.

start with 2, then warp to 10, and then up to 20-25. What exactly does he think will be done with 25 of those?
