@georgetakei yes, but I don't think it brings us any joy but rather a lot of heartache
@georgetakei
Why should they even let her enter the country?
The correct response to everything the Trump administration says or does should be: fuck you!
@oliverboehme @georgetakei While I do enjoy misgendering the ding dongs who are trying to make it illegal for them to correct you (but *only* those ding dongs), Usha Vance is JD Vance's wife, the Second Lady, and probably goes by she/her pronouns.
@paulbottomley42 @georgetakei
Thanks for the hint, will fix it.
@georgetakei YES, this made me smile.
@georgetakei I imagine that, by the end of the year, our only trading partner will be the *other* Hermit Kingdom.
@georgetakei I have resolved to spend at least half my day pretending that the USA doesn't exist. It's good for my sanity!
Vance is NOT VISITING Greenland.
Vance IS NOT visiting Greenland.
Opposition and demonstrations like your good post, have cancelled the visit.
Instead Vance will set down in a US controlled Military Base far away from other towns, unreachable by road.
That the Musk regime inappropriately uses a base that was arranged by friendship, alliances, treaty and NATO, to threaten Greenland, exposes the regimes thuggishness.
@kevinrns @georgetakei The reason the visit was cancelled was because they couldn't find a single person who would agree to have a visit at home from the Vances. And, yes, they knocked on 5,000 doors ahead of time.
You can "Trump rate" a newspaper by how they tell the story of Vance's provocation, Greenland's effective defiance. #CoupPapers
Vance could not be prevented from going to US Military Base. A military base of long history of friendship, alliance, Treaty and NATO, instead inappropriately used, thuggishly used, to threaten our ally.
"...diplomatic spat.."
"...jokes about polar bears ..."
"... scaled back...."
I won't believe they're genuine until I see the "MADE IN CHINA" tag.
(Yeah, I know, the first million are in a container on a boat passing real close to either Guam or Diego Garcia.)
I apologise to the seafarers who will die. It's the world MAGAs voted for.
@georgetakei As a westgerman German, previously we were very happy to have the US (and the Brits and French) be here and prevent Russia from getting ideas and Nazis from taking over again. Nowadays, in both cases, can we be sure which side US soldiers under Trump would take?
@georgetakei Trump is Putin's plan to make all the World hate the US
@georgetakei
as a Russian asset that is the plan.
We have a ring side seat on how to take down a country and destroy a democracy. It is being replaced with a feudal system of government, think 1,000 years ago, 1000-1400's; before science.
The GOP is/will spread fear, ignorance, hunger, illness
This is being done in the service of the bigCorps, this is exactly what happened then the USSR disappeared. The bigCorp #oligarchs took over.
The US gov will be the military wing of the #bigCorps.
@georgetakei You have to trust the world to be a little discerning. Rejecting a government doesn't necessarily mean rejecting an entire people.
@georgetakei I take ten.
@georgetakei It should be a green hat! For Greenland. I guess this one works for Canada. Dang at the rate of America hate, I will need this on a rainbow hat!
@JimJoe @georgetakei With the Trumpublicans' hatred for trans people, and willingness to throw all of us who are LGBTQ+ under the bus, a rainbow hat would be doubly appropriate!
@georgetakei I won't be buying one because I don't want a *country* to go away, although his backside is almost as big.
@georgetakei
Damn near ready to wear my own self.
