What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

Most territories of EU members outside of Europe (even the overseas departments of France, which are fully part of France) are excluded from some aspects of the EU, though, and Greenland in particular is semi-independent.
Greenland citizens don't vote in EU elections, for example.

But I couldn't find anything about whether that includes the mutual defense clause.

But Denmark will definitely send their army to defend it, which will trigger an unconstitutional declaration by Trump that we're at war with them too.

Grassley-Durbin Statement on Judiciary Committee’s Exclusion from Administration’s Briefing on its Operations in Venezuela | United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ranking Member Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) today released a joint statement on...

It was never a "Law Enforcement" action according to what Congress was told, as to why they were left in the dark.

Well, yes, given that Greenland is an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark.

#BREAKING US starts operation to seize Russian-flagged oil tanker in North Atlantic: US media

[CoffeeHorse]

This isn't a fourth tanker. This is the third tanker we attempted to seize back in December. I thought it got away since the administration went quiet about it, but apparently we've been chasing it around the Atlantic this whole time.

Historians are going to have a hell of a time trying to decipher the leading causes of this war, because in reality we are just doing things.

 

[Dekafox]

Of note, that tanker isn't actually Russian, it was running under another flag until it was challenged, then changed it's IFF to show its current name and the Russian flag instead. Doesn't mean Russia might not use it to press for something, but it's not actually theirs.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

It's ours now.

Why bother talking? You don't negotiate with terrorists.

Inside every conservative American, there's a Nazi trying to get out.

Don't believe me? Look at all the conservative Americans now saying that it's OK to invade and conquer countries if you want their land or resources.

Oops, I'm sorry, I meant "protect America's geopolitical interests from external threats". I forgot to disguise it in defensive-sounding BS instead of saying it in plain English.

Republicans Break Ranks With Trump Over Greenland Threats

“This is appalling. Greenland is a NATO ally. The way we’re treating them is really demeaning," said Rep. Don Bacon.

The GOP is seeing the ketchup on the wall and are trying to get out while the gettings good.

Ironbite-SAD!

 

[Rhinox]

I'll believe they've grown a spine when they put it on the record with a vote.

I do believe it won't be enough to remove Trump at this point. We have got to punt Steven Miller to the Hague sooner rather than later.

 

[Pocket]

Adding to that, I'll believe he's lost "their" support when there are more than just a handful even bothering to speak up. There are over 200 of the bastards in Congress; wake me up when dissent on literally any one policy cracks triple digits.

Stephen Miller Suggested a 94-Year-Old Actor Could Save Star Trek From Wokeness — And It Didn’t Go Well

Many people interpreted Miller's X post as a variation of "show me you don't understand the point of 'Star Trek' without saying you don't understand the point of 'Star Trek.'"

Remember when this was the kind of article that you could safely assume was from "The Onion"?

 

[Ungnome]

I have my issues with the Kurtzman era of Star Trek, but it's not because it's too woke. Temu Lex Luthor is just an idiot.
