Pfft, Britain and France already have plenty of islands. No, it is only right that it goes to a country that has none. One that has no islands because it has no land at all any more. Only Yugoslavia has a rightful claim to Greenland. Greenland and Yugoslavia are even roughly the same shape, especially if you just include Albania into Yugoslavia for extra inter-Balkan diplomacy!

Red, white and blue are like the most common country flag colours. USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, France, Russia, Netherlands, Chile, Cuba, Czechia, Iceland, Laos, Liberia, Luxembourg, North Korea etc. I'm sure you get the point. It seems like most countries aren't particularly creative or daring when it comes to flags. Almost like all the lions and eagles that you see in military or old timey flags and symbols.
Fun Fact: Jamaica is the only country to not have red, white, or blue in its flag.
Huh that's pretty cool. Definitely a fun fact!

can you imagine being a Democrat congressperson who actually wants to do something useful for people and having to listen to this? I'd probably just resign.
All resigning does is give them a greater margin to win votes by. We have several chances to win a tie or majority in the house and senate
Three house seats are up for special elections, two in florida and one in NY. If they all elect democrats, there will be a tie in the houde and any bill can be blocked.
Senate votes can be held without all members present, so making sure all democrat congress members always show up and always vote gives a good chance of blocking some bills
Also in 2026 will be the midterm and we can vote republican congressmembers out, as they only have a majority and not a supermajority.
What I want to know is: what does the vote of a Republican Senator cost these days? Can we start GoFundMe campaigns to get some things changed in our preferred direction?
Imagine being a republican congressman and jerking off under your desk to this while giggling?
Great, now I'm gonna have nightmares.
I thought this was just a meme
When professional edgelords control the state, us mere shitposters can just watch in awe

I want to know why it's not "Trump Land."
Saving that for 2029.
This is fantastic news! I didn't know that's where the world's supply of eggs was stored!
I can taste the lower prices!
I think you could taste a little lower, while you're down there.
I thought we had more time until Idiocracy.
They want to make it even dumber than Idiocracy.
I am against trying to acquire Greenland. However, I support this naming. If the USA is going to let something this moronic happen, we deserve to have this be a monument to our impotence and idiocy.
Here is the useless dolt

"...freest nation to ever exist..."
Fuckin lol
This guy must be choking on Trump's balls
Just find the zip code for his district.

This is just more bullshit to distract from egg prices and Elon robbing all of us in a Superman 3 scheme.

I want to get off MR TRUMPS WILD RIDE
I'm seeing the name of the community, and I'm still not entirely sure this isn't an onion. It's that onion-y.
One drugs please, doctor
They literally already told us to fuck off.
Jabba-the-Orange is planning on acquiring Greenland by invasion. They have already dusted off the draft and notification of the next-of-kin plans

I'm just waiting for Mexico to rename usa to "Little Mexico"
Mexiquito?
The irony.
Russia is to the Ukraine as the USA is to Greenland/Denmark.
it should be called "Blellowland"
Change my mind
They were serious about that?
At least come up with a different name; Red, White and Blue Land sounds like a theme park... Trump totally should re-open Action Park and invite as of his friends there. That would be so wonderful.
