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.”

I don't know why they need a bill for this. Apparently the President can just sign an executive order renaming geographical features, and everyone just had to go along with it.

Every American. The rest of us just watch in horror, wondering why the adults in the room don't do something.

I got bad news for you. We export our bullshit, and your leaders are probably lapping it up right now.

You say that, but it seems to be unifying Canada into a collective "Fuck that shit". I think because of Trump we're further from that today than we were a year ago.

Yup. When it rains in the US, it drizzles in Europe.

The "adults" in the room are those parents who only give into the screaming toddler, creating a kid who cries every time to get what he wants.
