It is real!

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.”
the freest nation to ever exist
No one actually believes this, right?
The EU should come together and rename USA as “Lalaland”. Since that’s apparently a thing countries do now?
Every other country should unanimously vote to call the USA something stupid since apparently countries can just rename other countries
Dumbfuckistan, I say this as an American…it’s gotten so childish here.
The founding fathers would be disgusted at such an unlettered (read illiterate) individual taking over the country.
Let me know when they make a flag for Dumbfuckistan and I will fly that shit.
I’m picturing the US flag but instead of stars it’s corporate logos.
At first glance I thought this was gonna be the Fitnessgram Pacer Test.

I was fully expecting a 4:33 here.
“Here be orange goblin”
Or they should start viewing America as a rogue nation bent on taking the land of others. 👀
I mean if they do that then they’re late to the party. He’s been doing talking about doing it since day 1
America has been doing it since day 1. lol
I mean countries have always done that, just not quite this stupid but also often very stupid. People in Japan call their country Nippon, not Japan. People in Germany call their country Deutschland. There’s a ton of countries that English just straight up changed the names of for reasons varying from some form of probable racism to misunderstanding that they never bothered resolving.
I’m not defending this move, it’s dumb as hell. Just pointing out that “dumb as hell” isn’t new.
In French Deutschland is Allemagne because of some random tribe we named for how they said everybody.
I’m pretty sure we just sent some half deaf guy to Asia too. And that’s how Nippon became Japon, Beijing became Pekin, etc.
Amyways, exonyms are cringe.
You mean that?
This has to be ragebait cover for something else, right?
Like even the dimmest, least self aware, MAGA-hat-wearing dumbass would feel embarrassed to say “Red, White, and Blueland” out loud.
Right???
No, they would not.
It’s bait for the media (and everyone else) so they have something funny to feed their audience and can pretend it’s just silly nonsense while ignoring the part that authorizes the “President” to acquire Greenland.
I want to agree, but these people wore diapers for him. The only further absurdity is the war over it for the minerals and arctic claim under the guise of national security.
It’s rage bait to hide a real enemy to the rest of us.
This has to be ragebait cover for something else, right?
It is standard political procedure. Watch for what other bills and policies are being put on the table that would undermine the working and middle class. The point of all this, is to tire the public from all the farcical news, while the real news is behind closed doors being ironed out.
You think too highly of them, but this is probably rage bait. If they could feel embarrassment they wouldn’t have voted for Trump the first time let alone once more. One way to begin to understand the MAGA mindset is by reading Settlers.
This rhetoric is terrifying. Look at that speech. That’s getting stoned on your own farts and getting them preemptively fresh speech. That’s the sort of way literally only cultists and fascist governments speak. That’s a dprk ass comment.
The madness runs deeper than the figurehead.
I fully expected Trump to drag America in a farcical dictatorship if he was reelected.
I just expected it to take longer.
I honestly assumed the Dems wouldn’t fuck the pooch so hard they lost control of literally everything, and we’d get four years of slightly worse status quo as they try to run everything through the SC for a rubber stamp
🤷♂️
It’s been less than a month since he’s been in office and this is a visual representation on how I feel about the whole thing…
I feel so bad for Americans having to put up with this.

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.
Yup. When it rains in the US, it drizzles in Europe.
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.
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.
I wonder if the any Russians reading this might wonder if this was how their government sounded when they invaded Ukraine.
This is worse than some parodies
WHAT ABOUT MY FUCKING EGG PRICES YOU GERIATRIC FUCK?!?!
“He isn’t paying attention to the jingly keys.”
“Find something more-outrageous to say. We’ll get there.”
Ooohhh! Thank you for these!
I’m sorry, eggs come from female chickens, and any talk of that particular F-word is strictly forbidden.
I give it another 2 weeks before they start saying that omelets are just chicken abortions.
Fork this bullshut
My partner and I moved into an eco village and are going to buy chickens this summer. Blew my mind to learn a live chicken only costs $75
I can buy chicks from the tractor supply a half mile from my house for $4.99 a piece. They have multiple breeds there too. Been contemplating that investment for awhile…
You should go for it, raising chickens is surprisingly easy and they are a hoot to watch frolicking around your yard.
However, fuck Tractor Supply for rolling back their DEI initiatives Search for local hatcheries to buy your chicks. Last spring, I bought ten pre-sexed female chicks (which, admittedly comes with the ethical concerns of what they do with the males) of random “designer” breeds for only $95 including shipping.
Everyone in my family is for it, as long as I’m the one that takes care of their end of life… that has been why I haven’t gone through with it yet lol
It is so hard when you lose one of the flock, and foxes, weasels, raccoons, whatever predators are in your area can smell them for miles and will snatch one eventually. But, for all the sobbing beside a pile of feathers I have done, I still wholeheartedly recommend that you go for it!
What kinds of designers? We had some designer chickens, they were delightful.
Right now we have three orpingtons, two brahma, one cochin, three golden comets, two marans, two plymouth rock, one silkie bantam, two sussex, and one wyandotte.
I had more bantams but they are really really good jumpers because they’re so small and light, they can nearly fly, and they would insist on roosting in a tree… Their steadfast refusal to come in at night ended in their demise.
Oh dear, for the banties! Silkies, sizzles and frizzles are so cuddly. Had a
coopercopper maran that was my baby, though. I really miss them all, except the mean Rhode Island bully. Enjoy your babies, they are smart and loyal.Autocorrect is so fun!
I get them from the farm lady down the street for like twelve bucks, she even let’s me pick out the one I want, who sold you a single chicken for $75? Shame on them.
I neglected to mention in the comment that the chickens I’m looking at are of the Ayam Cemani breed, which are pure black, including their organs. They’re pretty coveted, so I was surprised that even those are very cheap!
Oh yeah that’s a great deal for one of those hahah
Have a great day and a wonderful life with your cool bird
Xx
I saw someone on the German equivalent to Craigslist selling a rooster for 5€ today. Said they had three home grown roosters and that’s too many. It’s a full grown rooster. I am both surprised that this is so cheap and that it’s legal to just sell roosters like a second hand iPod.
Wait until you supplement feeding and have to worm them.
Tbh, feeding them is cheap if you supply them with table scraps. They’re basically feathered pigs.
That’s true. We had a lot of chickens a long time ago, not enough table scraps, though. We kept them penned most of the time for their protection from natural predators, including our cat.
Chickens are simple easy and cheap. Source: I own chickens and it’s not the first time
30 dozen eggs a month for ~$18 per month. (Is my current set up). Initial investment is really all, which isn’t high if you have scrap wood laying around somewhere
We had a lot of chickens at one time, they got expensive for reasons I mentioned. But we had a lot, of varying different kinds.
Best I can do is a new global pandemic. But with no public information from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and without working with the World Health Organization.
They. Don’t. fucking. Care.
Not blasting you, just a reminder for all of us. This was the end goal of a nationwide unified propaganda apparatus (Fox News, etc), pretending to work in the interests of workers, stealing Supreme Court seats, stoking hate/division, and implementing Project 2025. It worked. They have all 3 branches of government, are deleting knowledge and resources, decimating Congress-approved departments they don’t like, deleting knowledge and resources, and wiping their asses with the Constitution they ignore. It’s still worth resisting and fighting them every step of the way to fascism,I just hope it will be enough…
Stonks!
- egg companies
identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority
This is no joke and he’s going to start taking land. He’s serious about Canada too.
Fuck everyone in advance who buys the security angle.
Nazi shit shined with a US flag and it’s ok with the USA.
Removed by mod
As an autistic person, I wholeheartedly agree.
I fucking love the modlog on Lemmy.
That was very tame and it got deleted, wow.
Unfortunately Lemmy.world seems full of the ‘reddit mod’ types that (IMHO) eventually made reddit such a shit hole.
Maybe they’ll just die off? Probably not - pretty safe in their basements.
Edit: OOOOOH! let’s see if they ban me for inciting violence or some fucking stupid reason. That’d be on brand.
@flying squid
@Trisomy21
What did it say? I’m getting really frustrated with the overboard responses from moderators recently. I left reddit in no small part because of this. Pig boy was just the last straw.
I am right now drunkenly trying to get permabanned by these ridiculous mods that prefer civility to real discourse and telling Nazis to get fuck up the ass.
I’m tired of being civil with these fucks, I’m tired of worrying if me telling a Nazi to get fucked up the ass is going to upset anyone’s snowflake feelings.
Guys, we’re FUCKED. If you’re not mad, you need to get MAD. FUCKING MAD. THEY’RE STEALING OUR NATION FROM US AND A THIRD OF EVERYONE THINKS ITS AWESOME.
FUCKING PREACH.
Sober me stands by drunk me’s message.
Removed indeed!
Dammit!
I said this as a joke nearly a month ago on Discord.
all i get from this is that Donald Trump is in your discord server and stole your idea
I know exactly who it is.
Actually, I’m just going to accuse the one person I know that will be the most upset about me calling him out as Trump.
Well, we’re definitely gonna need to see this now.
Right, but this is the reality that runs on jokes, so you can’t do that!
I willed this into existence.
Careful that you don’t wake the dark ones sleeping in the abyss.
You know what would be just hilarious? A land of peace, wellness, and equality.
Nice job
