Shitposting. Greenland is not for sale.

Would be classic Trump. He's "being a genius" by starting at point A but you see, he's really just using the art of the deal to get to point B!

Except point B doesn't exist. It's like a child asking for 2 donuts figuring that if they demand 2 donuts long enough, they'll get one. But I'm not giving my kid any donuts, no matter their strategerie. All it does is make me take a different route the next day so we don't go by the donut shop.

This is the guy Custard is CONVINCED we should follow nearly blindly.

Trump on Greenland: “Iceland, they love me… They called me ‘Daddy’ last time. A very smart man said, ‘He’s our daddy. He’s running it.”

His brain is cooked. Absolutely cooked.

Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

If this were Biden our local Trump supporters would be having a nuclear meltdown.

Face it, they just built up to a point where he could throw down another market manipulation.

I actually thought about buying some stuff yesterday but said FI

Guess we’ll see. You might eventually be right on one of your predictions.

Nick Fuentes has thoughts; and I’ll bet several people here agree with him. Hell, maybe the majority.

I’m still not convinced this guy is even a real person, I think it’s AI with a modified Ben Shapiro voice.

Real or not, there’s nothing about what he said that’s wrong

And there you have it. Custard admitting that he’s not only not anti-war, but a hardcore imperialistic ultra-nationalist neoconservative who believes military might makes right. How very moderate.

Now if we can get him to admit his brand of Christianity isn’t really rooted in Jesus, but in asserting conservative (mostly white) Christian power. It’s a very short ferry ride from what he just confessed.

He’s real, he’s the PAMan’s neighbor.

How far are you from 1826 Home Ave, PAMan?

Far enough thankfully. My neighbors are an AA family where the dad is an ATT tech and a Philipino/Asian family where the dad looks like he's some type of programmer/IT dude who loves the Saints.

The whole family are alcoholics? That’s terrible….

I didn’t say I agree with the sentiment, only that what he said is pretty factual on its surface.

You seem to be mistaking someone else stating facts for me (or them) suggesting that that’s what we should do as a nation. His rhetoric and tone are obviously very harsh, but when you boil it down, it’s mostly spot-on. Not even debatable, really.

You’ve been on board with everything so far, so I’m not at all convinced you disagree with it. He basically has said the same things Trump has said, just more directly. “One way or another, we’re getting it.”

I’m not convinced we even watched the same video. He didn’t say that one way or another we’re getting it, he said that they act like they’re doing us a favor by letting us use it, then goes on to say that if we really wanted it, there’s nothing they could do to stop us from having it. He also made some factual comments about the United States standing up to Russia after World War II and spending a lot of money to prop up Western Europe ever since. All while Western Europe had the luxury of using all those dollars they saved on defense to fund their lavish lifestyle. And then went on to say that we have the burden of a military industrial complex because of it. What isn’t true about any of that?

Do you need to watch it again? When I watch this piece, I don’t see a guy saying that we need to go and military attack Greenland tomorrow, at all.
