Popular Post pellinore Posted February 11 Popular Post #1 Share Posted February 11 (edited) The US has become mentally ill. President Donald Trump would have the power to rename Greenland the 'Red, White and Blueland,' under a new bill introduced in Congress. The legislation gives Trump the power to enter into negotiations with Denmark to acquire Greenland and give the island the new moniker. Republican Rep. Buddy Carter of Georgia introduced the bill on Monday. It still needs to pass the House and Senate. Trump claims America needs the island for security reasons. He's also been on a renaming kick: on Sunday he signed an executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Denmark's prime minister has said repeatedly Greenland is 'not for sale' but that hasn't stopped Trump's fixation on it. 'I think we're going to have it,' he has told reporters. He also claims Greenland's 57,000 residents 'want to be with us' although many on the island say otherwise.

Gromdor Posted February 11 #2 Share Posted February 11 I find it an amusing contrast to Democrats. Democrats want to let people identify themselves as "X" whereas Republicans want to identify others as "X". Identity politics lol. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseraul Posted February 11 #4 Share Posted February 11 Of course the U.S. is mentally ill. He's p***ing off a bunch of nations that were literally minding their own business. We are the laughing stock of the world. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Wearer of Hats Posted February 11 #11 Share Posted February 11 You know what is really worrying about it, not all the surface dumbfukery, but reading past it … the “the people of Greenland want to be Americans” bit. It’s a bit too “ethnic Russians in Donbass want to be part of Russia”, not quite “the people of Austria are oppressed by their Zionist-Communist masters” yet but certainly on that spectrum. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonialism/Neo Imperialism are all longtime tools and trades of American geopolitics. Much like like the Russia/Ukraine thing... Greenland has large deposits of rare earth minerals and oil and natural gas reserves. That always seems to be a common denominator for US imperalism. Also, Gaza too.

+Noteverythingisaconspiracy Posted February 11 #13 Share Posted February 11 The official name of Greenland is Kalaallit Nunaat. This means "Land of the Kalaallit". Kalaallit is the name of the indigenous people. I would love to see Trump try to say that. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Noteverythingisaconspiracy Posted February 11 #14 Share Posted February 11 By the way if the US really need Greenland for security reasons, have they tried asking nicely ? In fact the US allready have a permanent base in Greenland and have had it since 1951. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pituffik_Space_Base 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattacaster Posted February 15 #18 Share Posted February 15 Spoiler President Donald Trump would have the power to rename Greenland the 'Red, White and Blueland,' under a new bill introduced in Congress. With that name, it could technically belong to any of the 28 other countries that use red, white, and blue on their national flags. I kind of like "Island-country-as-big- as-Trump's-ego-Land" as an alternate name. It's pretty catchy. It's capital will be "Muskville", in the county of "L'eggo-My-Ego", where residents "heil" each other good morning, and drive over-priced, 10,000 pound paperweights on wheels. Good luck driving through the snow. The more countries Trump takes over, the fewer there will be for me to escape to. 🫣 On 2/11/2025 at 10:21 AM, pellinore said: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, their commercials would use the slogan "L'eggo my eggo" (let go of my Eggo) because on the commercial somebody was always stealing somebody's eggo waffles at breakfast time. So it's just a spin on their slogan, referring to the huge egos of Trump and Musk. Lego is spelled differently and not as tasty as the waffles, because they're made out of plastic.

Along with Carlsberg it used to be our most famous product. Today it's probably Ozempic/Wegovy though. (I reality it was just a little joke.) I have yet to see "stranger things", but I have heard good things about it so maybe it should get on the to do list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to native Greenlanders "Greenland" is a totally artificial name with no bearing on their self-identity. We might as well call them Narnia, RedWhiteBlueLand, or "The 52nd State (after Canada)". Why should what we call them upset them? Look at Deutschland: how many other nations call it that? No: it's Germany, or Allemagne, or Niemcy, Saksa, Tyskland, Prusacy, etc. And it doesn't bother them: you don't see the Krauts getting all uppity and starting wars 'n' stuff. (On the other hand: we in Britland aren't allowed to say Turkey any more. Apparently it's offensive to Turks, or turkeys, or summat. It's now Türkiye cos Erdoğan sez so.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
