It's only acceptable if a Democrat does it. Right??? Republicans are not allowed to accomplish what Dems fail to do.

Most libs on here couldn’t find Greenland on a map,

🤣🤣🤣 So true.

Ask me about any country in Europe

If we owned or just came to a agreement with Greenland, it would go a very long way to preventing China and Russia from attacking us.

Let me word this in terms that Democrats will understand. Xi Zinping and Vladimir Putin hate LGBT+, African-Americans and people who illegally immigrated to America. There is a very strong possibility that they might use their white and white-adjacent privilege to launch nukes to target LGBT+, African-Americans and Illegal Immigrants. If we could own or, at least, have an agreement with Greenland we could put an end to racism.

If we were able to directly deal with Greenland then things would be a lot easier.

Here's the rub about this. These countries that are bitching today about Trump and Greenland are the same countries that did worse when steamrolling places like any African countries like the Congo. They are also doing the same crap to the Inuits that the US government is still doing to Indian tribes - saying they 'own the land' while keeping them trapped there under the guise of 'protection' or 'preservation of culture'.

It's just a way to keep Tribes and Inuit down without having to do the nastiness of a trail of tears.

Who tf is talking about Xi Jinping and white-adjacent privilege in the same sentence

Leftists.

It wasn't in the same sentence.

I didn't invent "white privilege" and I don't call Asians "white adjacent". I don't invent strange ideas to label people with. I also am not racist against whites or Asians (or anyone else).

I was trying to use the left's "newspeak" so they would understand it what I the point I am trying to make.

"so they would understand what I the point I am trying to make"

"so they would understand what I the point I am trying to make" What part of that lead you to think that I am the point?

The original point I was trying to make is we need Greenland to protect us from Russia and China. I just reworded my original point into "newspeak" so libs could better understand it. But I guess I was wrong. You got hung up on the minutia. Oh yeah. Of course you would. Libs are always scrutinizing over every word a conservative writes, looking for ways to turn it into a racist statement. Here, let me save you the time and the headache. There was nothing racist in what I said.

What racism?

Did you understand my original point? If so then why all the questions?

Why would Russia and China be using "white adjacent privilege" to launch nukes at areas with minorities

Get over it. It was a parody. The only point I was trying to make was about how Greenland was necessary for our survival.

Libs have a real problem with understanding or even caring about our survival. They have a death wish.

The parody was to use liberal buzzwords so that liberals can understand what I was talking about.

There no such thing as white privilege. No one is using what does not exist.

Why does Trump want Greenland so bad when NATO already gave America authority to militarize it then?

Aren't you asking that question out of sync with world events? NATO just did that after Trump spoke at the New World Order Machine.... oops I meant to say the World Economic Forum this week. NATO and Europe were being their usual socialist selves and automatically opposing anything Trump says.

I think the European countries must have realized that the reason why they have no military or a very weak military is because they rely very heavily on the United States saving them.

If China and/or Russia attacks Europe they're all going to die.

They just had to be woken up by Trump to understand that in order for us to protect them and ourselves we need military dominance in the Arctic. We don't have that now. We are all exposed should China or Russia ever decide to go on the offensive.

Obama so devastated our currency that Russia and China dumped the dollar as international currency. They have never gone back to using the dollar. Neither country likes us. In fact China has started a policy of sending their pregnant women to the US to have their babies. When the babies grow up they are sent back to the US to vote. So far there about a million of these, otherwise Chinese, voters in the US voting for what or whoever favors China the most. That is obscene. I have heard that SCOTUS is talking about defining the 14th amendment with it's original definition would would stop anchor babies and prevent this kind of abuse of our system. I just don't know what is taking them so long or why Congress hasn't legislated that definition.

Probably because of Democrats. If there is anything that helps America the Dems oppose it, if there is anything that harms America the Dems are 100% for that.

"Obama so devastated our currency that Russia and China dumped the dollar as international currency."

Obama strengthed the USD by having interest rates raised after several years of George W Bush deliberately weakening the value of the Dollar by lowering interest rates ostensibly to stimulate the economy he was wrecking but in actuality to offset the costs of two ongoing wars that were unpaid for with no the raising of taxes.

Trump not only had interest rates lowered, he literally wanted to lower them into the negative - yes, negative - basically paying big corporations and whatnot to borrow money. Paying them. To borrow money. In response, China as well as EU countries (the latter which collectively are the biggest foreign buyers of US Treasuries) became net sellers of the USD.

Biden, like Obama, had interest rates raised, bringing the USD to near parity with Euro, and bringing the British Pound to his lowest value against the Dollar in history. History.

I personally informed you of this several times since you first joined, so can't blame this on ignorance anymore, you're simply making stuff up.

I just want you to support your own claim. That is the entire goal here.

We have the same internet, we have access to the same search engines. It's not that hard to find information these days. When someone on ImgFlip makes comment about something I never heard of, I go look it up. Even if it is a conservative making that comment. I just want to be informed.

Besides I forgot what we were talking about any way, 'cause I'm old. I scrolled up and saw a conversation about Trump and Greenland. I think I answered that good enough and I didn't think I needed a reference fo go with that. It's just logical that if we want to preserve our country and our NATO allies from the 2 biggest threats to world peace then we need Greenland to protect us from an Arctic attack.

Alaska is just not enough and Canada's government has their heads in the sand.

If Canada could stop electing socialists and do what Paraguay and Argentina did and elect a freedom oriented president then maybe we could depend on them or at least work with them. But they just keep electing idiots who are on a self-destruct mission.

Socialism has never worked, nor will it ever work. The fundamental right for a free society is private property rights. That does not just mean land and other stuff, that means the right to own your own life. Socialism begins with the elimination of private property rights because everything belongs to the collective. And a dictator or oligarchy controls the needs of the collective, therefore they are the ultimate owners of everything, including your life. That's why it fails, even the so-called benevolent version of socialism. Plus the worst kind of people are attracted to that kind of power. And ultimate power corrupts ultimately.

You've never referred me to any books to my knowledge and I have looked at links from you guys

I could be confusing you with someone else. Sorry about that.

The point is you have to do your own research. Don't rely on me because I just do not care to go digging around for anyone. I've played that game before and it doesn't do any good. It would mean more to you if you did it yourself.

If you've done the research, then tell me where that research came from. It's not a big ask

That research has been over several years. I tried to provide you references to some books that would explain everything to you but I guess that wasn't good enough. That's why I know that even if I provided a link to any article(s) 1) you wouldn't read them and 2) it wouldn't do any good.

So just stop asking. Get back to me when you've read some of the books I told you about.

I'm just asking you to back up your own claim. This is because I should not have to dig up research for you. I will listen to your sources if you provide them

"This is because I should not have to dig up research for you."

What???????

I am not asking you to dig us research FOR ME. I am asking you to dig up research FOR YOU AND NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU. Is that such an unreasonable request?

I've already done the research. It's your turn.

Bro, this is your claim, therefore this should be your research

What an utter waste of time for me. Why should I go and dig up all of the news stories for someone who isn't going to believe them anyway?

You are giving reason without evidence. You literally do this in middle school, unless you haven't done a tbear or something related to it

Why don't you do your own research. The information is not hidden anywhere. You don't need me to point it out for you, just look it up yourself. Stay from liberal websites and the main stream media. They're not going to tell you the truth.

This is a journey not an event.

You need to read a lot before you will understand. Start with the founding fathers. Read their words. Then read books by Friedrich Von Hayek, Thomas Sowell, Milton Friedman. A real good place to start is a book called "Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left" by Jonah Goldberg. (BTW Goldberg didn't invent the phrase "Liberal Fascism", it was the early 20th century author H.G. Wells who called himself a "liberal fascist".) Look for a series of the founding father where the title starts with "The Real", as in The Real George Washington and The Real Benjamin Franklin and so on. This series take the actual writings of those people and show you what they believed, not what someone else is telling you they believed.

Glenn Beck has created an AI system called George AI. It is not available yet but he has some videos where he asks his AI system questions and he gets answers based entirely on the writings of George Washington. He did not put an bias into his AI system, just every thing he has written by George Washington.

In case you didn't know he as the biggest archives of historical writings of our founders and just about everything else that is American outside of the Smithsonian. He collects everything. He has documents and artifacts on the good, the bad and everything else about the United States of America. So when I tell you he has an AI system built entirely on the writings of George Washington, he has the nearly all of original documents in his possession. And if they are only in the Smithsonian he, just like the rest of us, has access to them and most likely got copies of those documents to include in his AI system.

Also a book just came out by author Peter Schweizer called "The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon". We just got it yesterday and I haven't had a chance to read it but in an interview with him he has discovered that China, Mexico and other countries have been abusing our immigration laws and using them against us. He discovered that China was sending pregnant women to America to have their babies. When the children were old enough they were sent to America and are controlled by China.

Because you have made quite a few claims, including, but not limited to: "if China and/or Russia attacks Europe they're all going to die", "in order for us to protect them and ourselves we need military dominance in the Arctic", and "China has started a policy of sending their pregnant women to the US to have their babies. When the babies grow up they are sent back to the US to vote. So far there about a million of these, otherwise Chinese, voters in the US voting for what or whoever favors China the most."

China, Russia and Islam has been a threat to the world for decades and more specifically to us. Trump want to thwart any effort they make to attack us and the rest of NATO countries. The European countries protected under NATO are only protected by us. Most of them have a very weak or non-existent military. Because many European countries have been saddled with short-sighted leftists as their leaders for decades they trimmed down or eliminated their militaries.

This is NOT about going to war, this is about preventing the possibility of another world war. It is a defense strategy.

Unlike the left, Trump wants to make sure that the people of the United States doesn't have to suffer anything. He is trying to bring America back up as nation not to be messed with. Peace through superior firepower.

And I hope when JD Vance becomes our next president (if he decide to run in 2028) that he will pursue the same American dream with the same strength that Trump has because it is going to take a super human effort to keep this momentum going. Because leftists are being used as programmed "useful idiots" by all of the global forces that want to destroy the western civilization.

Where is my proof? Stop being a liberal and look around. Learn what our founding fathers left us and why they put the individual as more important than any government. Learn what our inalienable rights actually mean. Learn what freedom actually means.

Until you fully realize that the left is running down a train track heading right into a freight train, you will never understand how the world really works and what has made the United States of America, with all its flaws and imperfections, the greatest nation to have ever existed. When you realized that all of our flaws are not unique to this country and are far worse in other countries, then you can appreciate the founding fathers and what they tried to accomplish and what it means to truly be an American.

The left is completely overrun by people who hate this country and everything about it. That hatred has rotted their ability to think and reason. They hold "No Kings" days to protest the first president since Reagan to try to bring us back to that level of freedom that our founding fathers envisioned. How utterly misguided, misinformed and truly insane do you have to be to even think Trump is anything like a king. Especially when the left is so enamored with dictators.

Source for allat?

Why?

You think offering money to buy it is the same as threatening to take it by force?

I think the left thinks Trump wants to take it by force. But the reality is that Trump is trying to negotiate a deal to either purchase Greenland or an arraignment where our military can use Greenland to block any potential threats from Russia or China.

The left does not want to be protected from anyone. They want the destruction of this nation because of how much they hate it.

Well I don't think all of that tariff bs is going to help with diplomacy

Do you know why Trump is using tariffs? It is all about diplomacy in this case. But overall it's because the rest of the world has been abusing us in the marketplace. A a result we've almost lost our manufacturing base.

I know this is a difficult concept to grasp but Trump is trying to bring the United States back up to the major exporter that we used to be so that there are more Americans with jobs. The more products made in America the more jobs for Americans.

Right now American manufacturing just cannot complete with Chinese slave labor. So Trump issued tariffs on Chinese imports so that American manufacturing can complete. China has responder by lowering the price of their exports even further but that is not sustainable and China's economy will collapse if they keep that up.

China, basically speaking, hates us. They, just like the left, wants to see us collapse.

Trump wants to restore the US back to want we used to be, economically speaking. That is why liberals are being told that Trump is trying to destroy America. It's not America he is destroying, it's the left's goal of self-destruction, that he is destroying.

The counter-tariffs are going to kill exports from the US. The entire world can go on just fine without the US, and if we can go on just fine without the world, then it would be amazing. But isolating ourselves and pissing off pretty much every single other country in the world while doing so does not sound like a good idea for the future.

Do you know what happens to countries that impose unreasonable counter-tariffs? We just increase our tariffs. In fact that is exactly what Trump said he would do and those nations backed down.

Do you actually think the world would be better off without us? Think about that for a minute. Let that sink in. What happens to you without the United States? What happens to freedom without the United States? Do you think your life will be better or worse without the United States? If better then why are you still living here? Move. Go find that utopia you think is out there.

Do you think so little of our country to think the world could do fine without us? Is the world at the pinnacle of technological advancement to where they can no longer advance? So you think we've learned all we need to learn, we've cured every illness, we have invented every tool to benefit mankind?

95% of all of the major life changing advancements in the world today came from the United States.

Why the United States? Because of freedom. The left has killed a lot of freedoms over the years and has put a severe stranglehold on innovation these days, but we are still the freest country in the world. Before Steve Jobs died, he referred to when he started Apple compared to all of the regulations that the government imposed on business towards the end of his life. He said if he had to build Apple before he died, he couldn't do it. There's just too much red tape in the way now.

Regardless we still have some freedom comes innovation, more than any other nation. The free market rewards innovation. Socialism punishes innovation.

Now all of that innovation is being sent, mostly, to China to be built because Chinese slave labor is less expensive than paying Americans to build it. We still innovate but because it is impossible to turn that innovation into an affordable product, we send it to China do be made. Because of that we have made China technologically our equals at the expense of the United States. Had we not done that China would still be 100 years or more behind us.

"isolating ourselves and pissing off pretty much every single other country in the world while doing so does not sound like a good idea for the future."

Except for the fact that we are NOT isolating ourselves. Why does the left always call it isolationist to actually try to make America better? That's idiotic. We still export goods and services, we'll just have more goods to export.

We haven't shut off any foreign travel. We're not doing anything to isolate ourselves. So why does the left scream isolationist. Trump actually means it when he says let's Make America Great Again. Just like when Reagan said, lets Make America Great. What is wrong with putting people to work? What is wrong with getting raises? What is wrong with making the economy sound? What is wrong with helping ourselves for a change?

We are NOT citizens of the world. We do not want the New World Order. We do not want The Great Reset. We do not want the left's Global One World Fascist Government.

We'll have more goods to export, we just won't be exporting as many

Says who? If we make products that are in demand internationally then we will export them. Since we started producing our own oil again, we are one of the top exporters of oil now.

Stupid Biden ended that. There was absolutely no logical reason for making us dependent one oil from countries who hate us. But that's what Biden did after Trump allowed oil companies to start drilling for domestic oil.

That's always the goal of any business is to make products that are in demand. If there is no demand than it doesn't get made.

That's how businesses have always worked outside of socialism, communism, nazism and fascism. Under those regimes government decides what gets made, even if there is no demand for it.

You're belief that the world hates us because of Trump is very myopic. The leftists around the world hate Trump but who cares about them. They are not the only people outside of this country. There's a lot more people who like Trump than who hates Trump. The only difference is the Trump haters have a microphone and everyone else has no voice at all.

why would no one who likes trump not be able to do shit like that

That's an awkward double negative of a question. Do you mean, why would someone who likes Trump be able to do that? What is the object of the question? What is the stuff that Trump haters are not able to do? Are you trying to work the phrase "no one likes Trump" into a sentence as some sort of subliminal message?

If you are asking about businesses who are run by Trump haters then why are you even asking? There are no businesses who want to just sell to 75%, 50% or 25% or even 1% of their potential customers. They all want everyone to buy their product(s).

Although there is an exception, the entertainment industry. They make TV shows and movies that they know will only appeal to a minority of people. They lose their shirts on those movies but they just keep doing it. Reality caught up with them about the Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert shows. They were hemorrhaging far too much money producing late night talk shows that only appealed to about 20% of the country. All of their predecessors kept politics out so they would appeal to 100% of the people who stay up that late. They tried to make Jimmy Fallon into the same kind of a show but he must have pushed back. He still makes his obligatory Trump jokes but that is kept to a minimum and the rest of the show he tries to appeal to everyone.

shit I meant someone, sorry
