Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

God damn it, this is the prequel to Idiocracy isn't it? Is this just a simulation so an A I. can generate a movie for someone? This is my far the dumbest thing I have ever heard a politician doing as a legit political act. All we're missing is a, 'brought to you by Carl Jr's' attached to the bill.

Reality is even worse than Idiocracy, because at least President Camacho recognised his own limitations and asked the smartest person in the room to help.
