The Guy is Fucking Crazy

From the Wall Street Journal:
"President Trump made his name on the world’s most famous island. Now he wants to buy the world’s biggest.

The idea of the U.S. purchasing Greenland has captured the former real-estate developer’s imagination, according to people familiar with the deliberations..."

Is this guy totally insane?  Does he really not have a clue about what national sovereignty means?  Does he think this would be just a real estate deal, and does he have a clue about how much the bill would be, or does he think he could treat a foreign country like his subcontractors, and just take the land and then refuse to pay?

And more importantly, what do Republicans tell themselves to be able to go along with this without committing suicide?

What does Greenland have that trump thinks he'll profit from? I wonder who's putting a bug in his ear to buy it. I have my suspicions on both questions. I need to research a few things a bit more.

Well, we also got Alaska by buying it. Maybe Trump thinks he can sort of put his stamp on the country's history with a similarly-large, if even more useless, acquisition.

Or maybe he just thinks that if the US government owns Greenland, he can shoo off all the media who keep reporting about melting glaciers.

The answer to your question, “Is this guy totally insane?” is yes!

Infidel, I wonder if a few more decades of ignoring global warming and they think this will be prime farmland that they picked up for almost nothing.

It's simply the case that Trump waltzed in and stole all of their voters away from them, using more racism and fear than anyone thought possible. They didn't want him to win, clearly. They DID try to stop him, more than once. Ted Cruz grew a spine that one time at the convention, shocking but true.

And now it's a total hostage situation if you are a Republican. He's a parasite who's got the personality to blow the whole thing up if he gets mad, which is his default mental state. The GOP voters love him more than anyone ever, seemingly.

This could not have happened to a nicer bunch of people, am I right?

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination that worked so we
