Trump 2.0: MAGAA

[Caribbean Hen]

Alaska and Greenland on the strong geographical defensive ends for team USA!!

Just look at a globe, but be careful of a Mercator projection

[SeattleGriz]

Let me get this straight. You froth at the mouth for a week over Trump being an idiot, retard and war monger and only now after a deal, you say the framework was already there?

The onus is on you to try and salvage your credibility.

trump thinks he got a deal when most of what he got was already in place and what wasn't has to be negotiated and agreed upon by either Denmark & Greenland and/or NATO member states. Rutte has very limited authority to negotiate / make concessions.

And yes, it takes a special kind of idiot to believe that they negotiated the framework of a deal when most of that deal was already in place. Maybe trump knew this and he's counting on his MAQA yahoo followers to be special kinds of idiots and fall for it when he tells them he negotiated the framework of a deal. Regardless, there are some special kinds of idiots trumpeting this "great accomplishment".

You like to tell kalm and me that we're disgusting - you using the R word is disgusting. You should know better.

Retard has been used for years. Get a grip.

If this was all in the works for years, which it wasn't, why'd you ramble on in about Trump. You simply could have pointed that out before the framework, but you didn't, because there was no deal like this and now your TDS is making your butt hurt even worse. You can't even list the "supposed" framework that you claim was in place that negated all Trump's 4D chess moves.

Day late, dollar short.

The N word has been in use for years as well, that doesn't justify it's continued use. You know who the R word was traditionally used for and you know why I'm calling you out on using it. You can and should be better than that.

This hasn't "been in the works for years". It's actually already in place and has been for a long time. We've had treaties allowing us to establish military based since 1941. The U.S.–Greenland Economic/Mineral Cooperation MOU was signed in 2019 (speaking of idiots, who was POTUS in 2019)?

And I (and Ganny) have posted about it before trump's monumental accomplishment (he's going to need another 3" 3-ring binder).

Ganny nails it ...

But all of that pales in comparison to the damage that is being done with the next-level stupidity that Trump is exhibiting with regards to Greenland now. Even for Trump this is mind-altering stupid. We have what we want with Greenland. Unfettered access to do anything and everything military-wise we want to do on that land. We have access to mine and develop whatever we want to on that island with regard to rare-earths and other minerals. Sure, we'll have to pay for it, but that's what trade is. And we'll certainly get a pretty good discount anyway. Russia and China have no ability to force project outside of their immediate countries so the odds of Greenland being invaded by either are pretty much zero. The only urgency here is Trump's manic need to satiate his compulsive narcissism. Someone close to him has to start talking him down from this epic level of stupidity.

Let's unpack this ...

1) Greenland is already protected by the US through our membership in NATO.

2) Would russia and china be interested in Greenland if they could obtain it without risk? Absolutely. It's a strategic location and contains vital resources. But the risks of either of them attempting to take it are significant and could start WW III. They're extremely unlikely to make a move to attempt to acquire Greenland. This argument by trump is FAKE NEWS.

3) The only country making threats, escalating the rhetoric and risking open conflict is trump and the US.

4) Any move by the US against Greenland could mean the end of NATO and would likely do more damage to our long run security than gaining control of Greenland would give us. We already have permanent military access in Greenland, bases(s), early-warning radar and an Arctic presence. What more do we get? Without NATO, we lose: 30+ allied militaries, shared intelligence networks, alliance leverage against Russia and China, the collective defense of Europe, etc.

This is about one man's ego and rudimentary understanding of geopolitics like he's playing Risk.

And you should be smart enough to know how I'm using it. A person who should know better, but acts like they don't.

It's quite simple bro. You, Ganny and Klam all look like idiots now because you once again fell for Trump's Art of the Deal. Love how you three all proclaim him to be an idiot, but he keeps winning.

The old idiot savant routine is so tired and worn out. "Trump's an idiot, but a genius when it comes to being evil". Really. Do some homework.

What you don’t like is being criticized for it. Same as Rogan bros whining a few years ago wokeness.

It’s an unkind word that punches down. It adds no value to a conversation. It’s simply humor for frat boy like for dumbasses.

Then the far left folks must be really small in number because there was little to no dissension when Biden finally bowed out (as UNI says, probably at least 2 years too late as it was clear even when he was elected that he was diminishing) and when Kamala was anointed (anointed may sound too pejorative, but it's not far from the truth of what did happen). Once the election strategy was to pave the way and help Trump be the Republican nominee (and I still say the purposeful stalling of legal proceedings to coincide with the election was Democratic strategy) the Dems had locked in Biden as their only option - certainly something Biden's camp was way too eager to accede to as it kept their proximity to power in place. The crickets in the Democratic party as this strategy played out was significant and noticeable. The idea that the far left was raising a stink and strongly pushing back against Biden, either during his Presidency or even after the debate when it was clear he couldn't go on, is revisionist history at its best. They too were far too content to just have a "D" in the White House and claim the win, actual policy be damned.

Thinly veiled insults are not needed here. The progressive wing of the Dem party has been assimilated. Most leftists do not consider themselves Democrats so they’re not going to have much voice within the party or from establishment media.

Weird, I just re-read what I wrote again and I'm still not able to find the "insults" you claim are there. Did something hit close to home and I didn't even realize it?

It was you referring to what I posted as revisionist history. It wasn’t. I just understand the left a little better than you. I was trying to bring you up to speed. There’s a whole world out there that exists beyond the mainstream.

Just follow the circle. You’re welcome.

Trump got what he wanted.

How's that circle look now? Like you AGAIN didn't bother to even do basic research.

You have a real knack for following idiots. Filipkowski, Krystal and pedophile enabling Lincoln project. Hilarious how you align with supposed conservatives simply because they switched their grift to liberals when they saw Trump ended their careers on the Republican side with his election.

Art of the no deal. Nice work defending a wannabe dictator and likely pedophile here, SG.

What is your obsession with the streets? I was in Spokane the last two days and we’re going out for Pizza tonight to celebrate my oldest’s 1/4 century birthday. The mean streets of Cheney are 10 minutes and downtown Spokane. Is 20.

Open a book little buddy.

Like well informed, open minded people do.

And I don’t have a basement. Slab on grade, New Zealand style farmhouse.

It’s been few years due to us both having chronic pain and my disease.

Otherwise we went Montana a couple times a year and Seattle area and Portland 3-4 times/year.

Before kids we travelled often around the PNW and me especially with collegiate golf. We also went on Carribran cruises.

Sounds like a cereal

having lived down in the Caribbean on and off for decades, I would never ever go on a Caribbean cruise. All of the Islands are very similar, especially given you’re only in port for like 10 hours. It sounds like you could use a USA cruise

I kind of ribbed my daughter and my son-in-law for going over to Morocco on vacation. I asked him if he’s ever been to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, New Orleans, Key West, Miami, Charleston, Boston Philadelphia, the Grand Canyon, the Badlands a National Park, Yellowstone, Denver….. the answer was no … My point was there are so many places right in the good ole USA to visit but instead it’s “cool” to go to Europe or overseas somewhere.

I do remember you said you’ve been to San Juan (probably the cruise) and “The Burg” aka Williamsburg a while back so at least you’ve been outside the Pacific NW

I’m speaking more to the Lesser Antilles where the islands are a lot smaller

You could be in Antigua, St. Lucia, Dominica, Grenada, St Vincent and barely know the difference

Martinique or Guadeloupe, very similar

Curacao is pretty fun

St Martin/st Marteen is both unique and similar at the same time

But you’re right, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic are very different places. Customer service is really good in The Dominican Republic but Puerto Rico, not so much

You ever wonder why there are so many baseball players from the Dominican and Venezuela? And why Puerto Rican players have diminished steadily?
