Considering how the US economy looks right now, very few people are gonna be okay (mostly the rich ones).

Yeah. I guess it's closer to Louis XIVs court, just with less shitting in the hallways. Hopefully.

Well yea, he won't step off. He will get pushed off by the other sycophants. He failed, lost favor with the King so the other courtiers will push him aside. US government now has the same political system as a Medieval Kingdom.

Well DUH. You don't want one of the "poors" to get the money.

Running your mouth is free. They can just say this now, probably knowing nothing will be done, so they can later, like during reelection, point back and say: " Well, we wanted to do something."

The reason he carries his kid with him everywhere as a meat shield now.

Greenland(and the Faroe Islands) are autonomous territories of Denmark. They function very similarly to US States. They have their own local governing bodies that deal with local matters but when it comes to foreign affairs, monetary policy and security they defer to the Danish Government in which they also have their own dedicated representatives.

The people are full Danish citizens so they use a Danish passport but pretty much all of them will identify as Greenlander (or Faroese) first and as a Dane second.

I am not a native English speaker but: "do right by" is a construction meaning to treat fairly. I assume that's what he wanted to say.

Also he is talking out of his ass. They couldn't find a single person willing to vouch for him and his wife when they wanted to visit. From tens of thousands of people living there they couldn't find a single person. Greenlanders don't like them.

That is funny as hell.

Also he could potentially get killed in front of his kids. But I guess that's not as bad as his kids hearing a "fuck you".

Unless you change how elections work and how politics are funded a new party in the US will always be dead on arrival.

A Bernie - AOC party would face immense hurdles as they lack the infrastructure and the funds the Democratic party has in place. On top of that corporate and oligarchic interests would all make sure to put in enough funding to ensure they will fail.

I love the energy but you have to be realistic. Their best bet would probably be to reform the Democratic Party from the inside.

Didn't he say the other day that Biden's pardons are not valid because he didn't personally sign them? Does this make Trump's expulsion orders also not valid? Ah sorry it only counts when other people do it.

Also he just admitted he just signs whatever and had no idea what he just signed actually contains. Either that or these "other people" faked his signature which is another can of work on its own. Maybe he'll blame it on the deep state lol.

Such a clown show it puts professional clowns to shame.
